Re: The Men In White

Rick Stein did feature the Accy tripe stall in his Food Heroes series.

Amazing to think how popular it used to be, in the 1920's there were 18 Tripe dressers in Accrington alone -not counting others in Clayton, Ossy and all the surrounding area.

(Info from the list at the end of this publication which a certain Bob Dobson had a hand in: https://prospectbooks.co.uk/samples/Tripe.pdf)

Something I could never stomach personally but my Grandad's generation loved it -it was a mainstay during WW2 particularly...

I suppose we're all a bit spoilt these days.
