Was just having my brekkie with the telly on, Brian Dowling was annoying me so switched BBC2 on and saw the two fat ladies cutting sheeps kidneys up, made feel a little queasy as she cut the middles out and skinned them, prior to coating them in a hot sauce, for BREAKFAST !!!!!

Anyone under 60 eat this stuff ?

My grandad eats it all the time and he's 82, he eats, heart, kidneys, frys (?), brain, tripe so maybe its good for you ?

His dinner looks more like an autopsy, I am keeping an open mind as they may be superb but I think I shall give tripe a miss whatever.

 

My old man used to give us heart when we were nippers, but kidney, liver, tripe? No way man!

 

So neither of you have had steak and kidney pie/pudding? Or liver and onions, with liver gravy mashed potatos?
You must be a pair of soft southerners?

Can't beat abit of Cooked tripe in the morning. Pickled Gherking tend to be my fav. followed by a plate of Whelks and Bull Tongue.

 

 

Dont touch organs minging but ive had Snails

 

I now live in offal eating central and when I first got here didnt speak much French. Ordered "Pate a la tete" -translation "pate of the head". It was brain jelly pate- the worst texture you can imagine. Since then I prioritised learning gourmand french!

 

Alcazar, I live in Manchester but with Southern tastes !

 

I bet you all eat McDonalds though................

At least offal is honest. Tripe's quite like fatty chicken skin.

(I too was duped by Johnny Foreignor into eating offal)

Yum yum.

 

Lambs hearts are lovely, lightly grilled......YUM.
Black pudding is bloody lovely too.

 

Liver and kidney are lovely!

Tripe, heart, tongue and anything else are gopping!

McDonald's and BK = lips and arseholes

 

Yuck! Definitely wouldn't catch me eating any of that stuff! Got force fed liver at Primary School and have never eaten it since. Disgusting.......

 

Mmmmmm liver. Cant beat a nice bit of lambs liver lightly fried for just a few minutes so its nice and soft and pink.

Chip.

 

I love Black Pudding, BK is nice but McDonalds is only ever a last resort.

 

Heart, Liver and Kidneys are gorgeous, especially beef heart and beef tongue One of the best offal products I've had was lambs fries in garlic, good as a starter. Used to be a butcher so all this offal lark is nowt to me, however never liked tripe(except talking it) especially rag tripe as it always reminded me of one of the monsters from Dr Who when he melted, I was only 6 and it put me off(al) for life.

Mmmm Liver & onions with mashed carrots & real 'Mum-made' chips, one of the best pre-emptive hang-over cures known to man

 

You lot are crap!!

I've had kidney, heart, lungs, intestines, tongue and stomach, all pretty good, but I'm not a fan of liver!

I'm not sure what tripe is, but I've probably had that although I'm not sure about brain!

Along with horse (France), ostrich (Malaysia), crocodile (Fleet, Hampshire!!), snails, frogs legs, chickens feet, ducks feet, snake, as well as most of the gamey stuff. And numerous strange Chinese things, like salted fish, Chinese sausage and dried/salted duck.

But I do love haggis and black pudding as well!!

I must be weird!

I think tripe is the lining of a cow's stomach.

 

I feel faint

 

Doesn't that make it sound so much better!



It bloody stinks!
Why would anyone eat something that smells like that outta choice!

 

corner... ugh... (thud)

 

I have had Elk and Buffalo in the states, Rabbit in France as well as Horse, all really nice meat, dont fancy the organs though.

 

Rabbit??? Wot's wrong with rabbit??? I used to snare 'em and eat 'em as a lad. "Lapin a la moutarde", and "Lapin Forestiere" are real gourmet dishes.

Ok, I'll probably regret asking this but what the hell are Lambs fries?

Just off to get the sick bag ready..............!

 

I could just handle a nice big plate of devilled kidneys right now, or how about liver and bacon????

Yummo!

 

Lambs fries = Bollocks.

Eeeeew!

 

Rod always serves me up a generous helping of Pigs Ears and winkles on a bed of Gherkins. Delicious it is.

 

Nice............................NOT

<Bleuuurgh...>

 

Ohhhhhh rabbit!

Not had it for years but the nicest tasting fodder ever.

My Mum's version was, anyway!

 

Lol @ Mufasa

"Mmmmmmm Lambs Fries"
