Offal, tripe and all that

I have to tell you that as a child I ate tripe and liver. I didn't think about what they were until I was older. I would never eat tongue though, the look of it on my mums plate made me feel sick! Nor would I ever eat black pudding, as mum told me what it was made of!!

I only eat processed tongue so it doesn't actually look like a tongue. I don't think I could eat it if it did look like a tongue.

I love black pudding even after my Mum told me what it was made of. At the end of a holiday in France we just about had enough francs left to order a set menu. The meat course was tongue looking and smelling much like an actual tongue. It actually had hairs all round the edge. OH ate his and most of ours but the rest of us went hungry til we got back to the ferry. I still shudder when I see tongue - cooked or uncooked.

I LOVE Black pudding I always order it as a starter if I can with peppercorn sauce , I also like it in a sandwich yummy

[ZIZI]

Oooh nooooo not black pudding. I have never seen it as a starter with peppercorn sauce, is that a northern thing??

I can eat black pudding, not very often but hubby refuses point blank to try it.On the odd occasion I do buy it, I try to get it without too much fat.

last night I was reading Yours magazine,and it said in there that black pudding is getting more popular.

No idea Zizi but had it in a few restaurant it's wonderful , mmmmm yummy

I think it's a bit 'gourmet' on a menu these days Zizi, not sure if its a northern thing.

It used to be put on the bar of a pub we used when we lived in Yorkshire, not fried, just cold.
