Tripe

[mikey4444]

Who on AB eats tripe ? I had it once as a boy, it made me feel sick !

[viv41]

Used to buy it at Widnes market many years ago, stored in big tubs !

Don't forget that until 1954, when meat came off the ration, the only thing available was offal, if you had used all your coupons, which wasn't rationed. Perhaps by that time it had become an acquired taste for some.

Thats why I was introduced to it I suspect. See 2ndpost

Both my Gran and one of my Aunts worked at the UCP Restaurant for a while, it was always a busy place.

Wish you hadn't posted that. If there was one thing nastier than tripe it was cow heels.

One of my earliest childhood memories is of sitting on my Gran's knee at the tea table with her spooning tripe into my mouth and me immediately spitting it out again.
She did not persist and I have never tried tripe again, nor do I ever intend to.
My Dad used to love it, Mum couldn't eat it.
Bad luck for him, good for me!

Cow heel is a good thickener in a steak stew or pie.

There was someone used to eat cowpie in the Beano. Was it desperate Dan?

[Mamyalynne]

Dan it was.

I love escargot with garlic butter and so did my kids.Sadly they are too fast for me to catch these days. :-)

When my grandad lived with us when I was a teenager, my mum regularly cooked tripe and onions for him. I only ever tried one tiny piece and wondered how he managed to finish a plateful of the stuff. Vile.

I can't even look at pictures of it. I wonder whether "trypophobia" has anything to do with tripe...

The saying goes that the chinese eat every part of the pig except the squeal. :-)

Blue cheese has now been hailed as a superfood...

Wrong thread...

[marval]

I have never eaten it, just the look puts me off.

Some dementia creeping in here. Desperate Dan was in the DANDY.

good as dim sum in chinese restaurants

[jennyjoan]

when you do think about it - when you go to ie chinese, indian etc restaurants - you don't know what you are eating as most of it is covered in sauce.

It could be your dog even.

My mum used to make us tripe and onions in a white sauce. It was gorgeous served with mashed potato and peas. Yum.
