You we’re probably in the same year as Bill Brazier who came from Daybrook. He’s my neighbour and lives a few hundred yards down the lane from me. Crikey, Bill Brazier was in my class! I just about remember him but it's long time ago. Geoff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 I can see him from my bedroom window now. 300 yards away wielding his chainsaw. He's normally in the pub by now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alisoncc 379 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 As the tripe aspects of this thread seem to have faded, thought worth a bit of drift to "Giblets" might be in order. That's chicken giblets. Giblets were all the chicken internals and necks. For less than a shilling you could get a couple of pounds of giblets at the butchers on Waterway St. The one near the corner of Blackstone St. Giblet stew was highly regarded in our household. All six kids and parents got a good feed. The only bits needing looking at were the stomachs, the inside layer had to be peeled off as very tough. Necks were the best bits, especially when cooked long enough so that the bones almost dissolved in your mouth. They had lots of tasty meat on them to. Even to this day have no hesitation in digging out the internals from a bought roast chicken. Didn't like tripe, but only too happy to dig into a bowl of giblets. Used to be able to get chitterlings as well. I think they were a pigs internals. Only the other day cooked up lambs fry - lambs liver sliced, onions and chopped bacon. Yummy.

Oztalgian 3,218 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Allison, Don't get washed away by the big surf and frozen in the cold snap. Talking of snap I only have one word to say about eating any of the offal you listed, YUK 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I'm not vegetarian, and have never planned to be, but reading alisoncc's post is the kind of thing that might convert me. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Liver, onions and bacon is a delicious meal. I always used to boil up the giblets which came bagged inside a chicken or turkey to make the gravy.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,594 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 @radfordredis it 3 or 4 threads which are talking about chitterlings? What exactly are they, anyway? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Basically they are pigs' intestines. You can eat every bit of a pig except the squeak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 All of these things were cheap - chitterlings, cow heel, collared head, tripe - all of which my Mum and Dad used to eat, but I could never face any of them 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I remember the Chitterlings. I bought their first album, but they split up soon after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trogg 2,002 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I use to love bubble n squeak with loads of brown fruity sauce with a fried egg and unsliced bread with loads of butter the bread. Shame I cant eat it now as it rips my stomach to pieces and I suffer for a few days after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
