All this stuff that was bad for you. Anybody else eat beef dripping on white bread cakes. ? I particularly liked the ones from the little butchers shop near Admiral in Hessle. Any body remember the name ?
 
Love liver & onions and steak & kidney. Had pigs trotters in Italy, very tasty. Anyone remember brawn?
Draw the line at tripe, however, don't like the look of it.

My dad used to have it done in milk with onion. Used to smother it with white pepper and then be sneezing.The thought of it still makes me shudder over 60 years later. My mum couldn’t stand it either. I used to think she must love him a lot to put up with smell and sight of that as she cooked it. <laugh>Remember brawn. My dad’s father worked for a butcher and back in the 1930s he said you took what was offered and thought anything you had made you more fortunate than many. We are too faddish in this country in comparison to a lot of others,

I often have brawn, Morrisons sell it, nice in a sandwich with white and black pepper, not a patch on chitterlings though. :emoticon-0100-smile

Used to eat it all the time as kids, beef was fairly cheap min those days. Don't know your butchers though.

Funny to think it was cheaper to have beef than chicken in those days. Chicken was a treat to have at Easter or Xmas. And tasted a lot better than now. Still like bread and dripping, making sure I get the jelly bits. The look on my grandkids faces when I asked them if they fancied some was a picture.

Best place for it in my opinion. Bloody awful. My Mum used to cook us liver. Hated the stuff.
I wouldn't eat it even as kid. That used to piss mam off, but her chicken dinners with the best Yorkshires ever were phenomenal. Thanks mam x
