Offal
 

After the Haggis thread, I was wondering what other type of delicacies people like. Have always loved Black Pudding (especially from Bury) Tripe is a favourite too but not cooked, pound of tripe and a plate of chips with lots of salt and vinegar. Pigs Trotters are very tasty as well and out with liver kidneys and I'll fill mi boots, cow heel pie ain't bad too, if your Desperate:D

Re: Offal
 

i couldnt possibly say what delicasies i like, its in the wrong section ..... :D

Re: Offal
 

I love lamb's liver fried in butter with onion and garlic.
I also make my own chicken liver pate, with garlic, thyme and brandy.
I don't much care for other forms of offal, but can eat kidney if it is in a steak pie.

Re: Offal
 

i love tripe....and....black pudding

Re: Offal
 

I'm not a great lover of tripe really coz it dont really taste of owt, needs plenty of Vinegar and pepper really. By the way..what happened to Elder? You never see that nowadays! I do love Kidneys though and Lambs Liver and Chicken Livers (Lovely floured and flash fried with a bit of Chilli and Garlic with a touch of Port!!). Ive also eaten some animals testicles in Spain but cant remember which ones. Also at a Chinese in London i once had Baby Pigs Intestines stuffed with Shrimp Paste!! Different!!

Re: Offal
 

Eeeeew, don't like any of those things.......tripe is like sn*T......can't be doing with it.
Liver......went off that after I saw a post mortem of a fella with liver cancer.....kidneys....they smell like wee-wee when you cook 'em.......sheeps brains....yuk......sweetbreads, no thanks........no-one has mentioned pizzle(my dad used to eat that, but it looked disgusting)....my dad used to like Elder too, but i never could put it in my mouth....so I haven't tasted it but I reckon it would taste as bad as it looks.

Re: Offal
 

Trust you flashy:D

Re: Offal
 

Tripe: raw with salt and vinegar
Kidneys: flambeaud with mushrooms in a wine and cream sauce
Liver: preferrably ox liver, soaked overnight in milk, sliced, patted with a little butter and grilled
Black pudding: as it comes
Brawn: on a sandwich with mayonnaise

I've eaten lambs' fries but haven't seen them on sale for years, also ate camels' "fries" just once. I'm not keen on pigs' trotters but I would eat them. Never ate a pizzle - yet! :D

Re: Offal

Re: Offal
 

I've just remembered sweetbreads, can you still buy them? It's a very long time since I've had them but I think I liked them.

I love all offal. Liver kidney heart sweet breads blood puddings etc. I will eat almost everything apart from tongue. The thought of french snogging a cow really doesnt do it at all for me. :-)

Re: Offal
 

Not building up for the old joke are you entwisi?

Man in restaurant turns to waiter, "How dare you serve me tongue! I'll never eat anything out of an animals mouth bring me an egg instead!".

Re: Offal
 

Will eat liver, kidney and tongue, like black pudding with lots of English Mustard, tripe is minging and I wouldn't give it to a dog. Never tried anything more "exotic" than that, don't think I would want to.:rolleyes:

Re: Offal
 

Yuck yuck yuck... just the thought of it all is horrible

Re: Offal
 

I have prepared and sold all of the aforementioned...and I am still here.

Re: Offal
 

Ooh, I forgot tongue (is that really offal?). I absolutely love it - ox tongue that is. :)

Re: Offal
 

Well I've just finished cooking a full cows tongue.. What a hassle it was to get, had to order a couple in the end. And they aint cheap, but what a huge piece of meat! I'm sure when I was younger you could pick these things up at any butcher.
By the way, where are all the butchers in accy? I ended up going to the one on Union Road in ossy for them.

Re: Offal
 

nowt wrong wi tripe, but i hate tongue black pudding grate wi lodes of mustard as my old dad said puts lead in your pencil.

Re: Offal
 

Every cow has a tongue Roy but there are not many butchers left anywhere....sorry state of affairs.

Re: Offal
 

If black puddings put lead in your pencil, I will continue to write with a biro...thanks very much:D
Not fond of tongue or cheek either :D(that's probably because I have enough of my own).

when I was but a girl I used to work in a cooked meat shop in town, Tattersalls used to supply our Black Puddings....Monday was our delivery day....they would arrive hot and steaming.....and the boss (Anne) would buy two for sixpence and put a whole load of picallilli on them and eat then with great enjoyment......she liked the fatty puddings, and could always pick ot the fatty ones.......YUCK!

Re: Offal
 

love tongue, lambs fries, elder, have a black pudding every week, not a lover of tripe, though i talk a lot of it.:D hate mustard on owt though.

Re: Offal
 

You'll find everything in Gods own country (well town) Roy:D

Re: Offal
 

Where's your sense of adventure AccyLass, a bit of honeycomb tripe is great, just put vinegar in every hole close your eyes and think of Britain:D:D:D:mosher:

Re: Offal
 

Bet you'd love to say that to Gordon, Jaysay!!:D


Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Offal
 

Never ate any of it on it's own, though probably had it all by way of sausages.

Re: Offal
 

I wish, I really do wish:D

Re: Offal
 

And I wish you would forget the tory party, it isn't what accyweb is supposed to be!

Nor Labour or even Liberal Necrophiliacs!

Re: Offal
 

Less I will promise not to post on another political thread if the likes of Bernard Dawson, Graham Jones, Clare Pritchrad or even young Andrewb will do the same, honest indian, but I'm not holding my breathe, but maybe thats got more to do with not being able to:D

Re: Offal
 

Sorry can no longer forgive you, take a look at what you've posted today, my God, even in a thread by andrewb your spouting nowt but propergander and I am fed up reading it.

Funny, you can be, politic? Don't make me swear!

Re: Offal
 

Oh come on Less, you know as well as me there are people who use Accy Web for political purposes only, and I'm not one of them, I take part in all types of debate in every section of the site, Graham Jones has made around 500 post and I'll bet you can't find one that isn't political, I hear what your saying, Less and I won't fal;l out with you on the issue as your entitled to your opinion, but please have a go at the real culprits not just me, there rant over, still think your a lovely chap:D

Re: Offal
 

This thread is about OFFAL not politics so please get back on thread if you must talk politics start a new thread

Re: Offal
 

Re: Offal
 

Wouldn't see meat going to waste elsewhere in the world!.....Kidneys, oxtail, tongue, tripe, heart, trotters, black pudding, chitterlings, liver.....All wonderful if cooked properly and imaginatively. Sad that we let our preconceptions govern our palates and that we sanitize the food industry in this country. Too many of us are so far removed from the business end of farming.....Perhaps, we need to get back to that. Then we might give a little more respect to food.......

Right, I'll get me coat..........

Re: Offal
 

well said :)


Busman, a stupid question i know...but....what do pigs trotters taste like? and how much are they?

Re: Offal
 

Slurp & Burp: Pig trotters - pied de cochon.

Dip your bread.:cook38:

Re: Offal
 

Glorious! Gelatinous, sweet flesh. Like most great food, very messy to eat. Had them in Singapore with honey and chilli coating....Can still taste them now. Brilliant cooked with Madeira as well......

Used to get them for next to nowt but the celeb chefs have repopularised them.........

Mind you, with the credit crunch, maybe we'll all be rediscovering cheaper cuts.....Nice bit of mutton slow coked with quinces or Bath chaps with apricots.....Heaven!
