Lamb's brains, crumbed, every time. Nice cold on hot buttered toast.
Yep, lamb's fry , bacon, peas and mashed spuds hits the spot. Not so keen on calve's liver, I find it a bit grainy, at least the times it has been served by a German family we know.
Mum used to serve devilled lamb's kidneys, done in a spicy brown sauce. Very tasty.
Cheers
Part of the blame for our raft of illnesses today, in my humble opinion, is that people don't eat enough offal. It's where all the minerals and amino acids essential to healthy life are most readily available- and it (mostly) tastes great, too!
As a kid I asked mum about trying some tripe I don't remember asking for it ever again .Lambs brains in egg and bread crumb with bacon and worcestor sauce:thumbsup: Pickled pigs trotters were also great but haven't seen them in years

Hi,
In the days before industrial chicken it was an expensive meal, unless it was home killed and dressed.
The smell of hot wet feathers was never appealing, nor the metho singeing of the final tufts.
The meat however was much more flavoursome then and there were the giblets!
These were also available by the pound at the local deli, and they would sell with or without hearts or lungs. We always gave the lungs a miss, not as nice as the rest.
This was cooked in a spicy brown sauce in the pressure cooker as a cheaper alternative to chook.
Ox heart! Only good for catching flatties. The meat was pure muscle and would catch 3 or 4 fish before needing to be replaced on the hook.
Lamb shanks. Most regarded them as only good for the dog, but they were the tastiest bit of a roast leg. Now they are very trendy and expensive.
Cheers
I don't recommend haggis.
However, I can say that grasshoppers are quite crunchy.
Used to share a house with German guy years a ago. Snacked on raw liver while watching TV. Good during vampire movies - blood running down over chin. Top bloke, but I reckon he can shove his liver. [bigsmile1]Quote:

Had a supplier buy me a coffee and cake there too - also very good. 👍😊
