Re: How about you ?

Me too Mups. How can anyone like a bit of tongue?

Re: How about you ?

Now why do I feel all is not as it seems . . .

Re: How about you ?

Sorry Mups, I was speaking about animals tongues. The vey thought of them makes me shudder .

Re: How about you ?

Oysters, I have been told they should still be alive when you swallow them and if you make the mistake of chewing them they get bigger in your mouth... I feel sick just telling you that

Re: How about you ?

When little Sunday tea was either winkles and welks we gleaned for ourselves at the rocky beach .

Or if mum had some spare cash we felt lucky to have pigs trotters , we all loved them , well did at the time , I think it was because if we didn't eat them we went hungry . Not sure if I could eat pigs trotters now though

Re: How about you ?

Oxtail and pigs trotters were often on the menu and we used to enjoy them as children, although I've not heard of them for years and don't know if you can still buy them. The one thing that I couldn't eat and turned my stomach and where I drew the line was brawn...

Hi

I have had deep fried Cobra in garlic and diced jelly fish, both quite nice.

I draw the line at beetroot, can't stand the stuff.

Re: How about you ?

I wouldn't go to China and eat fried ants and other bugs, also wouldn't eat Eels or Rollmops, but I like most things.

Re: How about you ?

Beetroot is a lovely vegetable, we just grate it raw for salads and it also makes a wonderful addition to roasted root veg, yum yum...

Re: How about you ?

The first time I tasted tongue was when my husband introduced me to his family for the first time. MIL-to be made some sandwiches for supper an unknowingly to me I bit into one and almost heaved when I realised what it was.
Being polite and not wanting to offend though, I sat and slowly ate the sandwiches while managing to put several pieces of it in a handkerchief when I thought no-one was looking. To this day I have never told Mr Mags that I hated his mother's sarnies!
