Going on the tripe thread. When I was younger, I lived on a pig farm. It was not unusual, to come home to find a whole pigs head, boiling away in a massive pan on the cooker. Boiled pigs brain. Anyone try that?
you just made me feel a tad queezy that made me giggle being the oldest in my home it would appear I am the only one who likes Liver and Onions and Steak and Kidney.
My son recently went to China, and I asked him what he thought of eating chickens feet. He said you just suck out the goodness, and throw the rest away
Bleurgh. Sounds grim. I'm not adverse to a nice plate of liver and onions. And steak and kidney pie. But brains? Not sure why I should differenciate, but Nope. Not a chance. In fairness, some of the things I saw on the menu in Thailand years ago (Duck Blood Cake, Cow Uterus to name a few) were equally grim... and in China there was no translations anyway so I stuck to vegetables and rice... but brain just seems wrong.
My mother used to make Brawn, but just the half a head (very Damien Hirst) very tasty but I'm pretty sure there was no brains in it, we also called it pigs cheek.
I don't find it bad it's just preference . I do like me offle liver kidney sweet bread but not pigs head ...iam filthy enough already .
Mr Wong's Tooting high street in the 70s god knows what he used to serve us but I don't think it was chicken
