I have to concur. Tripe is one of the few things I have tried and found to have no merit whatsoever.

Tripe is tripe with whatever it is served with.

All the others have eaten and served to the grand kids in the Philippines apart from the spotted dick they have eaten all of them lack of proper custard for the spotted dick I am afraid.

Correct. Had it once back in the day at my uncles who was a farmer. They ate everything from whatever animal they killed.

Traumatised still.

Serious question.

Do you find a lot of recipes don’t take into account the fuckton of water every meat seems to contain these days?

its a problem with all meat packaged in the UK not so much in Philippines as the meat comes from the fresh wet market so doesnt have to sit on a shelf for 2 or 3 weeks.

It all appears to shrivel to a gnats cock when cooked here.

Allegedly the UK loves juicy chicken breast says industry leaders :roll_eyes:

And why the fuck don’t the supermarkets sell chicken breast with the skin on any more - mind you don’t try to buy them from the butcher in Oxshott or Cobham, without a new mortgage :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I did find middle bacon with the rind still on in Tesco’s the other day so bought three packets of the stuff. the last was used on the monster pigs the other day :grin: :grin:

Blimey- well played sir :+1:

In the Philippines I just buy fresh whole chickens then dissect them at home skin intact. as they are fresh we can then freeze the bits we arn’t using.

I now buy all my meat from the local farm shop. Locally bred and slaughtered. I can order exactly what I want, including skin-on chicken breasts, meaty pork ribs, steak to die for, home-made sausages, skirt of beef for casseroles, any offal I fancy (no, I don’t fancy tripe).

Yes, more expensive, but worth every penny.

We have a very good proper butcher’s shop in my village. Good wide range of quality meat, loads of prepared stuff and if they haven’t got it they will order it for you.
