It doesn't! I wouldn't mind that, though, I love the fat on a pork chop - or a lamb one come to that.

Agreed fat from chops etc. is scrummy.

Tripe on the other hand, needs so much salt and vinegar to make it taste somewhere near palatable.

i remember my mother buying cow heal and making stew ,,,she had it in a dish covered with a cloth ,with the heavy flat iron squashing it down ...

What's that other mucky stuff they sell on the tripe stall, is it called hazlet?

What is it?

Haslet is made from brains and offal, as far as I remember. It's very tasty. I like brawn too, which is similar but not so spicy.

I think I have very "basic" tastes. I love tripe, adore black pudding, can't understand why people cut the fat off meat or scrape the skin off flat-fish (it's lovely). I'm a sucker for beef pies with a thick layer of aspic jelly on top. I relish a plate of mussels (fresh, not the pickled ones) and oysters are to die for and, yes, I like jellied eels too.

Unfortunately I have high blood pressure and my cholesterol level has to be controlled by statins so I can't indulge in my "treats" as often as I would like. Life's a bitch, isn't it?

I wish you had not said what haslet was made from, i love it. It has put me off now i know. lol

The haslet you get in Asda etc hasn't seen a brian etc in its life. Its just sausage meat with spices.

Tripe is lovely.
As for Black Pud, there is a whole newsgroup who discuss the merits of BP.

Mez, Pendy and I had a good chat at teh meet about all this sort of stuff.

Forget it, Janet. I asked our butcher in the village what he makes it from and he said he only uses prime pork - but he would say that wouldn't he?

When I said I'd prefer if it was made from brains he said oh yes, it could be made from that. He didn't want to lose a sale.

Has anyone ever had lambs' fries? My mother gave them to me for years before she told me what they were.

(Hint - they come in pairs).
