Good news everyone!

[Redpig59]

Aldi are doing Gourmet Beef and Haggis Burgers.
That will make up for last night's disappointment.

[Poodlepan]

I was only there this morning, I didn't see them.

Probably not good enough for your posh new Aldi.

[Julian Mince]

Oooh I like the sound of those. We have four Aldi's here I think.Hopefully one will have them.

That sounds offal.

I loves offal, me. Only exception is tripe (don't be obvious).

Anyone ate brawn? Me mam did it once when I was a lad. I was quite surprised when I looked Ito a huge pot that steaming gently and a pig's head looked back up at me with a sad expression. Didn't stop me eating it mind, although me mam didn't really like it and we never had it again.

Oh, there's another bit of an animal I won't eat and that's ox tongue. I won't eat something that's been in an animal's mouth, give me an egg any time.*

Funnily enough we were discussing this last weekend.
I'll eat any bit of the animal apart from the eyes.
I'm a bit wary of tripe because of the colour, but I would still eat it.

I think that if you have eaten a sausage in Britain, you have eaten every part of the animal.

[Phillip Phlopp]

Years ago the EU brought in quality standards for sausages where there had to be a minimum meat content for the product to be labeled a sausage.
The Sun.
Went.
Apeshit!

They ran a huge headline of 'SOS' and underneath in brackets '(Save Our Sausages)'. Apparently unelected bureaucrats in Brussels wanted to interfere with our Great British Breakfast Banger. It was then pointed out that, as you say, the GBBB contained mostly connective tissue, meat blasted from carcasses, lips and arseholes and bread.

They quietly dropped the campaign but the message has stuck and I reckon that was the genesis of resurrecting the EU once again interfering with the exports of our Great British Breakfast Banger to, er, Bangor NI.

You can see Richmond's sausages in the shops but branded Irish Recipe because (from memory) although they have the word sausage on the packaging because of the high lips and arseholes content they have the word sausage small..

[Julian Mince]

I've always chuckled at the fact that ISC#3 will only eat Richmond sausages. If only knew they were high in arsehole content (much like ISC#1 and ISC#2) I'm sure she'd change her mind.

[Phillip Phlopp]

She likes the the sphincter crunch, obv.

[Redpig59]

Nothing wrong with a bit of eyelid, lips and anus.

[West LW]

Not having born when rationing was enforce I have never knowingly eaten or wanted to eat offal. I would rather eat a Linda McCartney burger than cow penis, sheep tonsils or the other weird crap that seems to make your mouths water.

Mind you some of the "meat" dished out by her majesty's armed forces was highly suspect (and probably highly radioactive come to think of it).

[Redpig59]

You can wear offal as well.
This is a waterproof Eskimo coat made from seal intestines (the animal, not the singer. He IS going to survive).

What a bostin weekend that was......

[Redpig59]

Well those were a bit of a let-down.
I could barely taste the haggis, and if I hadn't known what they were, I would have thought that they were just a good, tender burger (which they were).
No good for a Scotsman, even one in the diaspora.

[Julian Mince]

Thank you Piggy - you have saved me a few quid there.

[Redpig59]

Yes.
A bit of a disappointment.
I have the urge for haggis now.

[Gaspode]

You Filthy Swine!
