Tripe.

[Carver]

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 mates mam used to work on that stall. Remember it well. My mam and dad used to eat it too, along with something called Elder. God knows what that was.

Elder is pressed cow udder but I don't know how it's prepared.

I can see all you younger cellarites gagging at the thought of "tripe" what you have to remember is that when we grew up in the 50s and 60s there was no "fast food joints'' except your local chippy and they often had ques a mile long outside at tea time and you also took your own plates and bowls for the servers to put your tea on... weird i know unimaginable today.
Here is a list of a working class Salford standard diet that i grew up within them times.
Tripe, cowheels, pigs trotters, pig or sheeps heads boiled and the meat scraped off, sweetbreads (sheeps bollocks) kindney and liver boiled in a hessian bag then served with mash and the boiled juices, peas pudding, cheese and bacon dip, Scotts or Quaker oats smothered in black syrup or golden syrup.
Sundays was treat day, bacon and egg in the morning, then the Sunday roast but the cheapest meat Mum could buy and always served at 2pm then at 6 it was sandwiches withthe cheapest potted spread she could buy followed by tinned fruit and horrible condensed milk, the roast leftovers were eaten by dad fried in a pan when he came home from the pub at 10pm.
Ah, the good old days, potted beef sandwich anyone !

Very concise and illuminating. I remember all of the above delicacies with fondness, ignore all these trembling stomached wimps on here, proper Lancastrian nosh all that.
Working class as fuck, me.

Were you at my nans on Eccles New Road,you've just recited the tea menu.
My uncle was a copper at the docks and we got all sorts from him,fruit like mangos and the like.
He used to drink in the Waverley and our family owned an offy a few doors away and people came in and filled jugs of ale from the hand pumps,seems like a lifetime ago.

I remember the Waverley it was one of the most popular boozers in Salford never went in it myself i was too young but bet every bloke in Salford went in it at one time or another, we too had an offy near us on Nansen St Seedley that had hand pumps in it, could you imagine that today, ''couple of pizzas and a big jug of ale please".
A fuckin age ago, where has that time gone

There's some right girls on here but I'll eat most things, just waiting for an invite to AG's igloo for tea.

Love it my Gran always used to bring me a piece of honey comb or thick seam when I was a kid. A good dollop of vinegar and pepper on there and you have a tasty treat.<br /><br />-- Sat Apr 20, 2013 4:53 pm --<br /><br />
