:-) or :-( Just don't get me started on the chitterlings! They were the next delicacy to try and tempt us, oh and the tongues too! No wonder I turned vegetarian.
I used to like tongue sandwiches. And no, that's not a euphamism. I wasn't expected to eat black pudding though, and I don't recall there ever being tripe in the house.
Chitterlings are a Kentish word for sheep's intestines. A sort of grey colour when bought and then boiled to white and put on a plate! And they expected me to eat this!!! The tripe always smelled good,but only because it was cooked with onions.
The first time my Mum served tripe and onions my Dad told me a very believable story about how they were racing car tyres (specially collected and sliced up by his chief mechanic) cooked in milk. I had one bite and went to throw up. Never been near the stuff since.
When the GPO used to have an engineer working down a hole in the pavement they'd erect a sort of red & white striped tent over the hole. For years my father had me believing that that's where Stoke City players lived.
