Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

I have just Googled 'brawn'. It tells me that it is meat from parts of the head of, mainly, cows and sheep but excludes the brain, eyes and ears.

Ah so they left out all of the good stuff.

I remember my nan buying tubs of brawn from the old Birkenhead market which I believed were jellied pigs brains which she used to eat on toast.

Oh my goodness. Brawn, brains, liver....etc. Bork!?
I'll chuck my late Mum's favourites in here. Never tried either, never wanted to. Tripe, pigs trotters.

Enjoy your walk mate. Considering your taste for liver, kidneys, tongue and hearts mate. Dont be eating the dogs mate theyre the neighbours pets. lol

Enjoyed the walk. Lovely day down here and was down to my T shirt. Me, the neighbours and both dogs all arrived back safely in one piece.

Makes me feel nauseous just looking at that photo. Brawn jelly ?

Loads of GOT members will become vegetarian after reading this thread lol

Anyone ever tried haggis or, for the full effect, haggis neeps and tatties. Lamb's heart and lungs, mixed with oatmeal and other bits and bobs, inside a sheep's stomach. Surprisingly good, especially when you wash it down with a pint of heavy.

What did the singer from ABBA say when she was fed up with eating the stuff you guys are talking about?
“Not brawn again!”
I’ll get me coat!!!

Not a chance mate - id skip the dinner and just have the pint. I dont think I could even watch anyone eat it knowing whats in it.

Is there anything you cant eat?? My daughter would eat absolutely anything except cheese.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

It's a mustard based pickle. Shocked you don't get it over there.

Piccalilli??? Hope thats a sauce and not an animal part - I dont think cows have a Piccalilli that'd be a bull.

Tesco and the other Brit supermarkets do it here but never actually seen a local manufacturer.

It’s a staple part of my diet.
