Even our Nora in her guise of Mrs Blewitt in Open All Hours bought Fig Roll Biscuits albeit gently persuaded by Arkwright that they would maintain her reputation of being a reputable woman.

Also. Liver or black pudding. I can't look at these letalone eat them
If you all remember our "scruffy little hero" "LIKED A BIT OF BLOOD !!!!".....[he then explained me meant BLACK PUDDIN' !!!]......when "Florence Nightingale Dewhurst" started to get all squeamish at the thought of a motorist covered in the red stuff in the wonderful episode "In the service of humanity".
X!

On the subject of offal, I'm never happier than when munching through a steak and kidney pie !
I'm with you on the black pudding but the only decent liver to find it's way to my plate is from the roe deer, when fresh there is nothing that can touch it for flavour and texture.

I think one of the most contentious things I have eaten was whilst in Alicante where the restaurant was highly recommended, although very basic inside, where to my consternation they did not speak any English other than Hello and my Spanish is very basic so I ended up basically pointing at an item on the menu .
I ended up with a Tripe Stew . Tripe was very popular up in Newcastle remember my parents eating it done in milk , our main market had lots of Tripe shops but it declined in popularity alongside things like Rabbit and Hare [remember as a kid seeing shops in the market with them hanging alongside Chickens and the queues out the door and up the alleyway] I was glad I tried it even unwittingly but its not something I'd eat again.

Tripe and cow heels was a favourite of my Grandpa in the 70’s. I remember going to the local butchers to buy it with him.
Rabbit is one of my favourite meats but it’s nigh on impossible to buy from the butchers around here even though I live in a rural county and there’s hundreds of the little buggers hopping about everywhere. I have lost count of the amount of times I’ve asked for it locally and on my travels up the road in the Peak District. I found some ( frozen) in the butchers at Bakewell last week.£££££££££!!

When I went to Hawes a few months back I was amazed to see loads of rabbits hanging up in the butchers there!
Never tried rabbit before, is it like chicken?

Isn't any meat that you're being encouraged to try "like chicken"?
When I was very young, we raised a few rabbits for the table. One day my father was holding me up in front of the cage to feed a lettuce leaf to one of them. The dear bunny took the leaf and bit through my thumbnail! I very much enjoyed eating that one when it appeared at dinner.
You're not a fan of Watership Down then Marianna
