Celebrity tripe.
 

On our little weekly trip to Accrington, we were suprised today that all the carparks were full, well we had to walk much further than we normally do, because of the increase in the number of cars.

Only when we got to the market did we realise why the town was so heaving with people on this cold, blustery, March day.

Celebrated chef Gordon Ramsey, was cooking tripe and onions at the tripe stall.

It was nice to see the market so busy for a change.

Did anyone else see him?

Apparently he didn't stay outside too long. Complaining it was too cold, and quickly retired to Peggy's Cafe, inside the Market Hall.

Although it was cold, we didn't notice him swearing, so the air didn't turn any bluer.:D

Re: Celebrity tripe.

Re: Celebrity tripe.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Nothing on God's green earth would induce me to eat tripe...no matter how it was cooked...or for that matter who cooked it. I would throw away the tripe and eat the pan!

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I like to try most things once, to see if I like them, but even Mr. Ramsey couldn't tempt me to try tripe again.

Yuk.

Offal, you can keep it.

Re: Celebrity tripe.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

ive eaten tripe but never had it cooked, it just tastes like water to me

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

It's long time since I had any tripe but always loved it smothered in vinegar :)

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Cooked tripe? OMG!!...Gordon Ramsey can sod off with his namby pamby,wishy washy,feely touchy posh cooking way's... raw tripe and vinegar washed down with a mug of Vimto..thats the way.

Re: Celebrity tripe.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I didn't see any publicity about this anywhere - did I miss it in the papers?

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Yeh i found out same way as rindy wandered thro a packed market to bump into Gordon Ramsey, blumming mobile stations were probably overloaded with 'guess who im standing in front of' calls, yes i did but did anyone beleive me ???? ----- errrr nope so had to send pic messages to prove it:D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I didn't see any publicity for it but he was deffo there;larger than he looks on the tv! Filming it for the "F Word " apparently which is what he would've got off me had he given tripe to eat !:D He did brave the cold for a long time though;(and several Accrington "characters" for want of a better word) that episode will make us look more like Royston Vasey than ever!

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

oh god glad i wasnt there the thought of cooking tripe and onions knocks me sick!!
did he not tell anyone to **** off!!...LOL

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Not that i heard..... was waiting for the F word to pop out hehehehehhe:D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

oi leave yeh vimto alone its very yummy with milk :D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

ive never tried it with milk, ill keep that in mind:D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I was there all day today, I didn’t see the bloke but a woman in Marks & Spencer’s commented on the fact he was here. After a gander round smiths I went over to the library and forgot all about him.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Wish I'd have known, would have been down there, there's something about him:)

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

The subject matter was 'tripe' - pretty much self explanatory I would have said Willow.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Anyone who would not eat tripe cooked or uncooked, has never had an empty belly in my opinion.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

And as Ianto said if your hungry enough you'll eat anything.. in my day we were so hungry one of us would sneak behind the Ox... shove a big stick up it's backside.. and when the Ox stuck it's tongue out we would bite bits off!

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Anything you ever wanted to know about tripe.

Infact a load of old tripe!

Re: Celebrity tripe.

Re: Celebrity tripe.

Re: Celebrity tripe.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Not that fresh you plonker I'm half way down a nice bottle of Jacobs Creek Marlot.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Nice... Damien Hirst eat yer heart out!

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Doug I have an ox tongue oven bottom muffin every other day, it is one of the most expensive cooked meats you can buy, everyone to their own but 'tongue has a taste of it's own and it is full of goodness. Tripe I eat in the summer months always cold, my daughter goes early down to the market to make sure I get a little of each type. Today's generation with take aways by the score, microwaves to reheat the food wonder why these allergies abound take note.:cool:

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Yes.. but they were hard days Doug..we were so hungry that we would sneak up on cows ..drag em down and chop off a back leg... we would stand it up and prop it's leg up with bricks... sometimes the farmer didn't even notice for weeks on end!

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I know what you mean Ian. I've not eaten Ox tongue since 1966. It was a treat my Grandma saved for me on a Saturday afternoon. We had to tuch tongues before we would tuck into our Ox Tongue and Mothers pride bread. God I wish I could go back to those days.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Daft ******, bet you didn't have to wait for it to rain before you could have a wash. :D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I aint had tripe in years and I do like it. Did no one even get a phone piccy of him?

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Never had tripe and no i dont fancy it either - it looks horrible

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I remember it was nice cold with Vinegar and Onions...:) Not sure if I'd eat it today, got very soft sin leaving home. :o

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

You have forgotten whats good for you thats all. ;)

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

:D ................

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Heh, I took some tripe into work for our Philipino colleagues to try (After they had force fed one of our lads Ballut when he was over there!).

I quite like it and actually Mancie its already cooked when you buy it. Its been boiled and bleached normally.

OX toungue isn't that expensive either. They sell it at Tescos and its no where near as expensive as rare cooked angus beef or even teh proper roasted Ham on the bone.(my mum buys tongue every week).

However, whilst I'm happy to eat tripe I can't get my head around effectively french kissing a cow! :D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Not having the advantage of access to a Tesco supermarket Ian, I will have to take your word that Ox Tongue is cheaper than 'rare cooked Angus Beef', and the 'real Roast Ham on the bone' which I would dearly love to get my plastic choppers round, but unfortunateley they to are out of my reach.:D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

My brother works on Alltons Fruit & Veg stall on the market and on his dinner break went to Peggys, and Gordon came and sat with him for his dinner (Gordon had Cheese Pie) he said he was a very nice bloke. He's got a good picture with him. Hes still in town because he said he was going to go to the Stanley game.

Anyway tripe is bloody awful!!! Even if it is cooked by Gordon Ramsay!!!!

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

What, so he's staying till Saturday??? - Unless he meant he's going to the reserve game tonight.
Oh and my view on tripe, definately should never be cooked:D - can't beat honeycombe tripe with all the holes filled up wi' vinegar

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I would imagine the same stuff you use to whiten your whites or remove stains.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Your location says Accrington. I do believe I've seen it in the Tesco Express in .... Accrington. At worst its a short journey to Haslingden and even ASDA on Hyndburn Rd sell it. Then there is the cooked meat stall on the outside market. I can't recall it being particularly dear on there either.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

It was the way you worded it that amused me Ian 'Rare Angus Beef' instead of Roast Beef, absolutly no offence intended;), is the Tesco Express the old filling station on Abbey St?

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

yes its the Abbey St. petrol station,

The "rare angus beef" referred to roasted chunk of aberdeen angus moo cow cooked 'rare' rather than some mythical species of moo.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

There once was a time Ian when my earning power far exeded yours, so the last thing I need is a lesson in the quality or type of food on offer at a market stall or an upper market in your opinion speciality counter this is not meant to insult your inteligence, as my reply was a 'tongue' in cheek answer.;)

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

ooooooooooooo handbags at the ready

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I love tripe. I don't like it cooked.....I love it with plenty of salt and vinegar with chips......HMMMMMMMMMMM my mouth is watering at the thought :D:D

Gingers mum makes tripe and onions......and it's crap!!!



DON'T COOK TRIPE

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Tripe ewwwww yuk!

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Let me know when your having it again slinky the wife and I will join you, I'll do the honours.:D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Err, hang on there. At what point was earning power brought into this? I've never made a single reference to money either yours or mine(and I wonder how you know what my earning potential actually is??? ) or even quality of the food on offer. I referred to your statement about tongue being one of the most expensive cooked meats when plainly it isn't. I then offered you proof and possible savings and you come back like this.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

ian and ian will you both behave please :D stop bitchin

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

sorry flashy, for a moment I forgot you own the license to bitchin in AW :D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Never mind the tripe for now what other offal foods do people like/dislike?

If tripe can cause so much fuss what about say liver kidneys ox heart?

I like all three. :D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I liek all offal

Liver - Yum yum, same for kidneys, heart

I used to enjoy sheeps brains when you could still buy them.

Sweetbreads are OK in moderation.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I agree Ian out of order with the income statement:o The point I first tried to make was as a young man they could hardly give tripe, tongue, and other offal products away, and now they are treated like luxury items because the price of meat is high, offal was mainly a food of our generation, as during rationing unless you could pay exhorbitant prices and risk a prison sentence buying it on the Black Market you ate offal as you would eat any other cut of meat, and did not even think it was different.:)

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Wrong!

She bought a temporary concession from me.;)

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Well i'm presuming that tonights episode of The F Word is the one in Accrington, because its the last episode of the series and in the TV mag it says "Gordon is cooking tripe"

9pm Channel 4

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Its on in 10mins anyone watching it??

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Watching and it's said nowt about tripe in Accrington!.. I've been ringing people telling them Accy was gonna be on tellly...Lolly I hold you personally responsible if Accy aint on!:D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Well it showed Accy market eventually although Mr Ramsey seems to think that the town is called Accrington Stanley! :D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Yes it was on!.. the whole of the local Police Force (yes both of them) turned up to sample the bloody horrible looking cooked tripe he dished up.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Damn! I missed this thread until it was too late so I missed the programme. I would have liked to see a bit of Accy.

Gordon Ramsay calls himself a cook? If he knew his onions he'd have served that tripe raw with salt, vinegar and black pepper, there's no finer dish for the connoisseur. I could eat it 'til the cows come home. :D

(It's 'orrible when it's cooked, though. It looks like snot, smells like dung and tastes like Dunlop tyres).

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I was confused by that also but his words were: "The town of Accrington Stanley" maybe he meant, the town that Accrington Stanley are from??

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Did they mention Accrington being in Hyndburn?

No, thought not.:D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Did anyone see the Accyweb memer on the market yes Fireman was there watching Gordon . good one fireman

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Yes I spotted him. I said to Busman "That's Fireman there!" and he said "Where?" and by the time he'd looked he'd gone! :D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

I was disappointed that he called the town Accrington Stanley, you think he'd have done his research, anyway I still wouldn't try tripe doesn't matter who cooks it, I do like the F word series though.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

There is a bit of a write up and some pictures on the Accrington market Web Site...

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

The mind is a good place to keep it ... I don't think that the stomach could take it.:eek:

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

lol....exactly eric....blaaaaaaaaAttachment 9604

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Does it matter?

No, thought not. :D

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

:D I think that was the point he was making Gayle - as in no need to waste money rebranding the borough.

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Perhaps we can get Kim and Aggie to clean up the monstrous blue and white building, that is attached to the Town Hall, next.:rolleyes:

Re: Celebrity tripe.
 

Na they should just knock that down.... and get nice new building with all the high rates we pay, they can afford it:
