Re: home made cow heal pie

when i was a kid there was a wonderful little stall on bacup market that specialised in all these delicacies.
i'd often help my mum on a saturday on her stall
and we'd pop over for dinner
hot black puddings in winter
and tripe or a lovely slab of elder with lashings of salt and vinegar in the summer

it's a shame that these local delicacies are getting harder and harder to come by these days i suppose the younger generations would much prefer a macdonalds to good honest local food.

Re: home made cow heal pie

we are lucky to still have a stall like that on Accy Market. theres on in Blackburn market as well.

It made me laugh the weekend that the Food Festival was on at the town hall, in there BPs were £2.50 a lb and higher, round the corner on Bobs stall they were half that price :D likewise when teh 'continental market comes to town. Prices far higher than whats just round teh corner on teh normal market yet people still buy.

Re: home made cow heal pie

When it says cleaned and scraped does that mean you are literally just putting the bone in the pie?

My Gran used to cook things like trotters and cow heal but my Mum never did and consequently I never have. It's a shame for these old traditional things to be lost.

If Busman reads this thread he might lock me out of the kitchen for life - actually we've got a funny story about cow heal (or was it pigs trotters?)

Re: home made cow heal pie

I love Black pudding but i think i might be sick if i came accross tripe on my plate! but then for all i know i could have already had it as i only found out not so long ago that i have eaten rabbit stew/pie when i was younger now that seems a bit blagh now.
