Celebrity tripe. - Page 4

Heh, I took some tripe into work for our Philipino colleagues to try (After they had force fed one of our lads Ballut when he was over there!).

I quite like it and actually Mancie its already cooked when you buy it. Its been boiled and bleached normally.

OX toungue isn't that expensive either. They sell it at Tescos and its no where near as expensive as rare cooked angus beef or even teh proper roasted Ham on the bone.(my mum buys tongue every week).

However, whilst I'm happy to eat tripe I can't get my head around effectively french kissing a cow!

Not having the advantage of access to a Tesco supermarket Ian, I will have to take your word that Ox Tongue is cheaper than 'rare cooked Angus Beef', and the 'real Roast Ham on the bone' which I would dearly love to get my plastic choppers round, but unfortunateley they to are out of my reach.

My brother works on Alltons Fruit & Veg stall on the market and on his dinner break went to Peggys, and Gordon came and sat with him for his dinner (Gordon had Cheese Pie) he said he was a very nice bloke. He's got a good picture with him. Hes still in town because he said he was going to go to the Stanley game.

Anyway tripe is bloody awful!!! Even if it is cooked by Gordon Ramsay!!!!

What, so he's staying till Saturday??? - Unless he meant he's going to the reserve game tonight.
Oh and my view on tripe, definately should never be cooked

- can't beat honeycombe tripe with all the holes filled up wi' vinegar

I would imagine the same stuff you use to whiten your whites or remove stains.

Your location says Accrington. I do believe I've seen it in the Tesco Express in .... Accrington. At worst its a short journey to Haslingden and even ASDA on Hyndburn Rd sell it. Then there is the cooked meat stall on the outside market. I can't recall it being particularly dear on there either.

It was the way you worded it that amused me Ian 'Rare Angus Beef' instead of Roast Beef, absolutly no offence intended

, is the Tesco Express the old filling station on Abbey St?

entwisi · 21-03-2007, 14:46

yes its the Abbey St. petrol station,

The "rare angus beef" referred to roasted chunk of aberdeen angus moo cow cooked 'rare' rather than some mythical species of moo.

There once was a time Ian when my earning power far exeded yours, so the last thing I need is a lesson in the quality or type of food on offer at a market stall or an upper market in your opinion speciality counter this is not meant to insult your inteligence, as my reply was a 'tongue' in cheek answer.

Err, hang on there. At what point was earning power brought into this? I've never made a single reference to money either yours or mine(and I wonder how you know what my earning potential actually is??? ) or even quality of the food on offer. I referred to your statement about tongue being one of the most expensive cooked meats when plainly it isn't. I then offered you proof and possible savings and you come back like this.
