How about some tripe ...seems to be a Lancashire delicacy

"In Lancashire and other parts of the North of England in the 1950s there were 146 UCP shops-cum-restaurants specialising in tripe dishes and with long queues for seats. UCP stood (and still does at its single remaining outlet) for United Cattle Products, who also provided ox tail, cow heel and other bovine extremities in an age when little was wasted. Tripe was also sold in chip shops." fast food in the days before KFC and McDonalds

have to say I don't ever remember it being sold in chip shops , .... bit of a wander ... Mr Heffernan , a teacher at Gt. Harwood Top Council school (days before Norden) think he later taught at Rhyddings had a tripe shop in Arrod run by his wife , a couple of doors up or down from Redmans on Queen St.
