Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Now I work with elderly people and today I had a talk about Tripe!!!!:smile: Someone I go to is going to have it for tea with some pickled onions! and it's his fav meal!!! and I told him most people would'nt eat it these days!!
are we missing out on such things that we used to eat eg pigs trotters chittlings and the like?
are we too fussy?
as my Grandad used to say "if your hungry enough you'll eat owt"
but I'm passing but would you eat tripe??

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

I would rather stick red hot needles in my eyes than eat tripe! I've never tried it and I know I never will! The thought totally revolts me ............ ooh I'm seriously gonna puke http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_19_7.gif

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

No i would damn well not eat it. YUK

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Ohhhh...it's lovely stuff! Either raw, with lots of vinegar & served with chips or boiled up with onions. High protein, low fat.....and if you're ever going out to do some serious drinking, the best thing you can is eats lots of tripe and yogurt beforehand. Stay sober, while all around you are ****ed.

Just a shame you can't get it down here. I have to make do with jellied eels instead.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

yum yum, love tripe with loads of vinegar, black pudding too but just can't get my head or stomach round the idea of trying jellied eels

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Trouble with you young uns is that you weren't brought up to appreciate the basic cheap nutritional food that we older ones were reared on. When you have six young ones to feed, and only the old feller's wage ( no government hand outs in those days) to bring up a family,it was either eat it or do without.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Love tripe. As Tealeaf said, I like it with chips and lots of pepper and Sarsons on it. Pity I can't get it here in the US.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

I love tripe, "raw" with salt, pepper and vinegar. To me it's a real treat. To those who say they would never touch it I can only say, you don't know what you're missing.

P.S. It's good for you too. ;)

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

My Nan loved it. I remember eating it as a child at her house. I didn't like it, but did manage to keep it down. I wouldn't choose to eat it, but reckon I'd probably manage it if I was desperate.

I think Len once posted some tripe pictures in an old tripe thread. I'll try to find the link..:D

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

i used to have a landlady who was brought up on a farm and she used to bring me the odd meal if she had made plenty

occasionaly she would walk across with tripe or cow heel and i only ever got as far as smelling it

didnt fancy eating it at all but it was politely accepted as not to offend because her sheppards pie and home made rice pudding was awsome :-)

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Here's the old link. The tripe pics are on page 3.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

I would rather put live wasps up my nose. I have tried it and it is loathsome stuff.......and I WAS brought up in the generation when there were no government hand-outs AND I was one of seven children........I wouldn't eat kippers either.
One time my mother was in hospital and My father bought kippers for our tea......I wouldn't eat mine so he said that they would be put in front of me for every meal until I did eat them.
I didn't eat them and ate the bread that was put out for the birds before I would eat those things.......in the end my brother let our cat into the pantry and took the cover off them.....otherwise I don't know who would have won.....Me, I think!

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

I remember my Nan eating tripe, dont think I ever tried it, the thought makes me feel ill, she used to love it with vinegar though.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

hehehe that made me laugh "trouble with you young ones", I am only 25 and i love tripe, always have since I can remember. There was only me and my dad in the house that liked it.
I don't like it cooked, I only like it raw with plenty of vinegar and chips.
I also like black puddings, yummmmeeeeeee!!! actually their isn't a right lot I wont try.
Also i love cockles and everything like that.:D

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

My Dad used to eat tripe and elder with loads of vinegar when he was ill. He swore it made him better. personally I hate the stuff

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

i think if you can eat that and keep it down...you must be feeling better!!! lol

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Hey don't knock it til you have tried it..........Honest it don't taste like it looks.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

i got a craze for tripe when i was pregnant once. the other two times i went mad on steak...big differance in price...lol

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

YOU ARE ONE SICK PUPPY!

While we are on the subject of yuk food I won't try kangaroo, shark, oysters (or anything else slimey), frogs legs ... OH NO THATS ENOUGH!!! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_2_10.gif

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

you're right gem, i couldn't eat heart either, although I am partial to a helping of Lambs liver and onions in gravy.................:D

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

No way no how would I touch the stuff.
I cant stand the feel of it never mind the taste.
But then again I dont like anything much.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

never much cared for tripe,always loved elder, but feel that people are not entitled to knock anything they havent tried.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

tripe is lovely raw,but with vinegar its brilliant,love it, love it, love it, love it.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

How about having Staggeringman & Mandy do tripe or black puddings at the next meeting his black puddings are very good i have had them.....:eek:

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Hell no....... I don't like black pudding either. Maybe he can do me a Shark Steak, they're delicious..:D

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Offal? Awful.

I have tried most things, hee hee.

Once was quite enough.

I didn't like blackpudding once, but can now just about get it down.

Apparently tripe is meant to be good for you, but I watched a programme about an abattoir and it showed them removing the cows stomach and dipping it in a bath of bleach to make it nice and white. It didn't exactly make me want to run off down the market to try it again.

Give me snails/escargot in a garlic butter sauce anyday.:)

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

I was a veggie for a good number of years, and although I do eat meat again now, I do struggle with it. I eat very little red meat, and I could never eat anything that resembles wot it once was. When I go food shoping I rarely ever buy meat, but if I'm out and about and its there I possibly would eat some.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

what about lambs fries now they are so good ! making me slaver thinking about them. :D

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

The cricketer???

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

maybe crown green?

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Worth a pound of anyones money, l'm slavvering myself now.;)

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Make it a footballer, and I'll have a go!

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

We used to have tripe with vinegar for Saturday tea when I was a child. I liked elder and honeycombe, special treat was lambs trotters, got some a few weeks ago on Accy market and made my daughter cringe when I ate them. Black Pudding with english mustard...mmmmm, delicious. Dad used to have a boiled sheeps head..... disgusting, hated it when he popped the eyes on the roof of his mouth... ugh!!!

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

oh no...rugby players are much better!!!

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

I think their fries are a different shape and may not fit in your pan,;)

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

lol...perhaps not but it still makes me drool!!!!

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Lol, if you are drooling you must be using too much butter on 'em.:D

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

i dont use butter im more of an oil kinda girl!!

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Well i like Black Pudding but im not sure i would like Tripe it looks yak, i imagine it to taste like the fatty bit on pork chops blagh.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

It doesn't! I wouldn't mind that, though, I love the fat on a pork chop - or a lamb one come to that.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

when its nice and crispey on the outside and soft in the middle mmmmmmmm!

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Agreed fat from chops etc. is scrummy.

Tripe on the other hand, needs so much salt and vinegar to make it taste somewhere near palatable.:(

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

honeycomb tripe, sheeps ba..s, trotters, all good stuff, get down to bury market best place to get this stuff from.try the cooked wild roast duck as well beautiful.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

i remember my mother buying cow heal and making stew ,,,she had it in a dish covered with a cloth ,with the heavy flat iron squashing it down ...

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

What's that other mucky stuff they sell on the tripe stall, is it called hazlet?

What is it?

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Haslet is made from brains and offal, as far as I remember. It's very tasty. I like brawn too, which is similar but not so spicy.

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?

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Honeycome tripe and proper crinkly cut chips with loadsa vinegar on,mmmm delicious,I could just eat it now.yum yum

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Honeycomb* tripe even lol

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Pilky dahling, you have been in the chatroom far too long, you believe any old tripe.;)

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

I wish you had not said what haslet was made from, i love it. It has put me off now i know. lol

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

The haslet you get in Asda etc hasn't seen a brian etc in its life. Its just sausage meat with spices.

Tripe is lovely.
As for Black Pud, there is a whole newsgroup who discuss the merits of BP. :)

Mez, Pendy and I had a good chat at teh meet about all this sort of stuff.

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

What's it called?

Offal Waffle?;)

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
 

Forget it, Janet. I asked our butcher in the village what he makes it from and he said he only uses prime pork - but he would say that wouldn't he? ;) When I said I'd prefer if it was made from brains he said oh yes, it could be made from that. He didn't want to lose a sale.

Has anyone ever had lambs' fries? My mother gave them to me for years before she told me what they were. :D (Hint - they come in pairs).

Re: Tripe!!!! Would you eat it????
