Surprised me there, of all the cellarites i had you down as the one who would try road kill.
I was tempted once in Taunton, this cafe had ''road kill pie'' advertised, i asked them what was in it they just looked at me deadpan and said ''anything we can scrape off the road, you aint from around these parts are you" i declined and had a bacon BARM instead

I had better have a word with her, she keeps dissapearing for hours on end, something about meeting a ginger City fan with maroon pants !!

I've had plenty of road kill, the hedgehog was hand killed.

Sorry mate i misread your answer, thought you would have tried it.
Count me out of the Hedgehog thing as well

You just bake it in clay, felt a bit sorry for it, but had no food at the time

I think you can guess the answer to that:) Hedgehog was one of the more bizarre things I've had, not road kill though.

I can assure you, it's not that floppy.

You are the cellar's resident bushtooker if it has plenty of meat and non human you've probably killed it and eaten it.

Your being overly exclusive there mate:)

I used to buy it for my dog in the early nineties off the market at
Salford pricinct never touched it straight in to the dog bowl
When I looked at it I wanted to spew like a super grass
Fookin war food lads

Re: Tripe

I was shopping in Chi Yip cash & carry in Middleton yesterday and I noticed pigs tongue and also chickens feet for sale, both looked disgusting. The pigs tongue was about a foot long and looked like something out of the Alien films!
The thought of eating chickens feet, especially after they have spent their lives treading in chicken shit, what goodness is in a chickens foot anyway?

Tripe is truly disgusting, I can say that after being almost force fed the shite when I was a kid and I can't blame anyone for not wanting to try it. Having said that, at least it's a natural meat product unlike the processed shite to be found in say a 'Rustlers' burger, that kind of rubbish food cannot be any good and it doesn't bear thinking about in what the meat contains!

I didn't realise so many of you have eaten tripe, but I suppose like some have said, it was cheap when times were hard and we had no fast food joints as such although the good old English chippy was the nearest thing to fast food.

I suppose many people eat with their eyes. By that I mean that if it don't look right, it probably doesn't taste right. Well in my opinion, Tripe neither looks or tastes right but many foods look so un appetising. I love king prawns, crab and lobster, infact nearly all seafood but I can understand people being put off by the look of their claws and antennas! I like fish and one of the best tasting fish I've tried is perhaps one of the ugliest, and that is Monkfish, absolutely delicious, especially stir fried chinese style with Ginger and spring onion. I never thought i'd ever eat Eel, but when I was visiting my sister in Italy, she insisted I tried the local river Po Eel smoked. I reluctantly did and it was very tasty. I used to have to eat Cows heart as a kid, it looked disgusting raw, but cooked it smelled ok and tasted a bit like roast beef only stronger tasting.

All in all though, I think tripe would be right up there as one of the most visually unappealing, bland flavoured and horrid textured food in the history of mankind, and yes, it's fucking disgusting, thanks mum!

Tripe is very bland and does not really taste of much

 

[ColinBellsjockstrap]

I can remember a UCP Tripe shop in Hyde in the 1960's on the corner of Clarendon Place, across the road from Woolworths.

Awful muck.

That shit should be banned, fucking hell man.

I would not say it was muck it was good nutritious protein and it was affordable
