I think I have very "basic" tastes. I love tripe, adore black pudding, can't understand why people cut the fat off meat or scrape the skin off flat-fish (it's lovely). I'm a sucker for beef pies with a thick layer of aspic jelly on top. I relish a plate of mussels (fresh, not the pickled ones) and oysters are to die for and, yes, I like jellied eels too.

Unfortunately I have high blood pressure and my cholesterol level has to be controlled by statins so I can't indulge in my "treats" as often as I would like. Life's a bitch, isn't it?
I wish you had not said what haslet was made from, i love it. It has put me off now i know. lol
