Chronicles of a Stillborn Zombie Coup

They'll get my pig foot when they pry it out of my cold, dead mouth.

--a tofurky!?

[Sean Hayden]

My sister made one of those turk-duck-yerk-wt'ferks one year, gawd awful, and she's a really good cook. So that and other abominations like a tofurkey are probably just impossible.

Pickled trotters are actually quite yummy...

[Scot Dutchy]

My grandad loved pig's trotters. He bought them in Shepherd's Bush Market in London. He used to braise them.
They were very sweet in my memory. Plenty of onions.

[laklak]

Pickled, braised, smoked, baked, they're delicious all ways. A most noble animal, the piggy, we use everything but the squeal.

We used to eat lots of weird things when I was a lad. Lamb's brains, for example (Bron won't have a bar of them...), blood sausage, liver, kidney, tripe etc...

I thought you southern hillbillies used even that, as shown in Deliverance...

[Scot Dutchy]

Tripe Jim is one thing I cannot stomach. I have tried but no as for the rest; yes please.
I have the same aversion for oysters. Love all shell fish but... salty snot.

[laklak]

My brother in law makes delicious Roman style tripe.

[Brian Peacock]

Plenty of salt, plenty of red wine vinegar. Cayenne pepper. Steeped with a little stout, adding celery and shallots. Leave it to marinade for three days or so in a tightly sealed container in the fridge. Take it out and let it come up to room temperature over a few hours. Chop some herb - parsley, sage, oregano and/or basil etc. Then scrape it into the bin and order a pizza - sprinkle the herbs on top, finish off the stout. Delicious.

I do enjoy a nice comforting bowl of menudo or some spicy gopchang jeongol though.

I might have to try that Roman style tripe. It looks tasty.

[Svartalf]

if you find tripe comforting, look up a Turkish soup called iskembe, they say it's the greatest hangover reliever ever devised.

[JimC]

I said that I ate tripe as a kid, not that I particularly enjoyed it. Mum just boiled it, and served it with parsley sauce...

[Svartalf]

Gimme the parsley with decent meat, I'll be glad of that... especially if the sauce is butter based.
But I'll grant, I don't consider offal decent meat.
