Somewhere talking sensible nonsense ; )
Ever had it? I doubt many have under the age of 40. My mate mentioned it in the pub tonight and it evoked memories of miserable meal times! My mum would buy it from the tripe shop. My dad preferred tripe called 'honeycomb' and my mum liked 'slut', yes it was a fukin slut! Horrid slimy flavourless shite that we would have with salad. It needed copious amounts of salt vinegar and pepper just to give it any kind of flavour!. Nowadays I believe it is mostly used in pet food thank god.
 
We had it at my grandparents,they got it from the UCP stall at Ashton indoor market.
My brother was complaining about it and my grandad said if it's good enough for the greyhounds,it's good enough for you.I've eaten it in France boiled in milk with an onion in,and it wasn't too bad.
 
My Gran force fed it me in the 50s and 60s when i stayed over at her house, in the end i just got used to it, everyone in Salford ate it you put loads of pepper on it to mask the taste.
She also used to do cheese on toast with tater hash poured on top, sounds bad but was great mmmmmmm
 
Back in the swingin' sixties . when i was knee-high to a grasshopper , and about as clever as one , me mam used to tell me how good Tripe was for me as she prised my lips apart , and rammed it down my throat .. just as i was almost throwing up !

No wonder i've turned out like i have ....

Tripe and Liver are the worst foods i've ever had the misfortune to eat ... fuckin' awful , the pair of em' !
