Liver is horrible. I remember being forced to eat it as a kid "it's good for you" mum would say... Well... Not according to science it's not. Just because something tastes nasty doesnt mean it's good for you. I will eat steak and kidney pie. Funny... Again growing up I never knew the kidney in s&k pie was actually kidney. Little grossed out when I found out... But still eat it. Won't touch spotted dick after learning tongue is really tongue and kidney in pies is actually kidney.
I'm not a fan of kidney, I thought the same about steak and kidney pie... Didn't realise it was actually kidney until I was older! Made me stay away even more.
Tongue is great as is liver and bacon. We also used to eat sheep heart as kids. Our local butcher has started selling offal as it is apparently very trendy to eat it now, with a lot of the top chefs producing recipes. Would not eat it now as it reminds me of the poverty I endured as a kid. Spotted dick is just suet with currants, very heavy to digest
Bacon is bacon... like... Liver is supposedly rich in iron and thats why they eat it but it stinks the hous eout and i would not bohter. heart is something thats on offer ox heart and such.. meh. waste not want not.. can't really say a sirloin or fillet steak doesn't gross you out of a kiney or a tongue does... its the same thing really.
Yes. Although "toad in the hole" is thankfully toadless. "Spotted dick" is thankfully dickless. There is nothing foolish about a "fool". No wood in a drumstick. Therefore believing the kidney in S&K pie isn't kidney should be expected.
I'm sorry but the only foolish think about steak and kidney is believe it is actually STEAK. think about it why would you mix prime cut a butcher can sell with a low grade organ... steak and kidney is offcut and offal...
What d'ya thinks in all those burgers and sausies and pasties as well ... all stuffed with offal and ground up throwaway bits like eyes and lips
thats some batter... I am presuming most of those are in the batter not the chicken like substance in the centre of the batter of course.
Steak in pies at least has to be solid pieces of something because you can see the chunks. In a burger it's all ground up. You could be eating parts from 7 different cows in a single bite. @moreinjuredthanowen McDonald's really is the worst. Even amongst crappy fast food joints they have the absolute worst quality. McD always confuses me: how are they so popular and all over the world? It's been years since I ate there now. Every competitor of theirs is better.
Only had them once, and won't be going back for a second go. I thought they were ****ing grim Cheap cuts are the current vogue. £25 for a main of cows face....no ta....how about you give that to Whiskas and you fetch me out the fillet.
