Panackelty with stotties

We ate raw tripe (green cows stomachs) with vinegar as kids, tongues and used pork fat as a spread on bread, don't think I'd fancy any now? My Grandad regularly boiled sheep and pigs heads and ate the brains and cheeks, tried them once yuk. I've eaten snake in China, sweetbreads (bollocks), crocodile and horseburgers in France, goat in the Middle East etc etc. I remember in Caen once the waiters didn't speak English and me little French. But I recognised pigeon on the menu and ordered that (used to shoot a lot of them, now of course banned in UK). It came covered in thin strips of raw liver, I couldn't eat it not for any other reason that raw liver seemed a health hazard.

Enjoy eels while you can, they're becoming endangered and no one knows why, the bane of my life as an angler although very rare now cos the Cockneys have scoffed them all?

here you go my fav BBQ RIBS

[WeednFeed]

My Dad’s parents immigrated from Lebanon around 1904. We have continued to enjoy many beautiful dishes from the mountains of Lebanon. These are called Fatayer. We use a yeast dough rolled our flat add the filling and fold the dough in a triangle or half moon. We brush the duo with oil and bake. The filling is ground beef or lamb, stewed tomato’s, diced onions salt, pepper, cinnamon, mixed spice, all spice, cumin, and sometimes mint.

One of my sister’s made these.

Here is another Lebanese dish called Kibbie or Kibby. We eat it RAW or cooked. I ground my own meat. I mostly use beef eye of the round in the Middle East lamb is mostly used. 
I remove all traces of fat, grind the meat twice. For every pound of meat I wash and soak 1 cup of cracked bulgar wheat. While the wheat is soaking I purée 1 onion per pound of meat. To the onion add salt pepper mixed spice all spice cumin cinnamon and mint. I then add the the onion and spice mix to the CHILLED MEAT. I drain the water from the wheat. Using my hands I squeeze as much water out of the wheat as I can. Add the wheat to the meat and mix thoroughly. Let the kibbie stand in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until the rest of the meal is ready. 
Put the Kibbie on you plate pour olive oil over it and eat with pita bread. I’ve added pictures showing raw and cooked Kibbie. The cross on the Kibbie signifies our Christian Heritage. My family used to me Maronite Christians from the mountains. You can also see Lebanese string beans in meat and tomato sauce and grape leaf stuffed with rice meat and tomato sauce.

Am fucking heaving just nope.

 

What sane English person would see this and not post the obvious Yorkshire pudding?? They're like little (or big depending on what you want) uhh dishes(?) made of like a batter(?). It just occurred to me that I've never tried describing a yorkie pud to anyone outside the UK. But yeah you would pop a couple on the side of your roast dinner and they soak up the gravy and they're just almost universally loved. You can also put sausages in them and bake them to make Toad in the Hole, which is disgusting imo and a waste of a good pud.

 @T-Rat tells me they're also made of real Yorkshire Terriers

Most of those eaten in the UK are imported from Ireland.  As you say, endangered species these days.

I remember pinning my Scottish sergeant to the pub wall with a large bowl of these.  He turned green and looked like he was going to throw up when I stuck my hand in and grabbed a handful to eat them with jelly running down my face.  It was a strange stag night...

[DEEJAYKEG]

Curry.  Yes, due to our imperial past, dishes from the East, cooked with spices have become national favourites.  Chicken Tikka Masala (pictured below) is said to have been invented in a Scottish curry house when a customer requested a sauce be served with his chicken tikka, cooked in a tandoor oven.  The chef grabbed a can of cream of tomato soup and the CTM was born!

There are many flavours and strengths of curry according to their region of origin.  I prefer spicy foods so my favourite, encountered in Hong Kong in 1998, is Daging Bumbu Bali - a fiery Indonesian beef curry.  I like vindaloo (Portuguese in origin from their former colony in Goa) and phall (very very hot) too.

Among the Persian dishes from India (Farsi), I like Chicken Dhansak, cooked with lentils in the sauce.

I eat Indian food (or Bangla Deshi) several times per week.

I presume you mean grey squirrel ? I would like to try this as they are gaining popularity in the uk due to the fckrs displacing the native reds. They fetch a good price and there are one or two professional trappers now, we have a shoot on sight policy in my county, to try to save the reds, but it is a losing battle, what do they taste like ?

Depends on what mast they're consuming.  Every chew on part of a raw acorn;  they have that faint tannic taste if they're eating acorns.  Hickory, mildly nutty without the tannic note;  black walnut, a richer depth to the nuttiness.  Kinda like rabbit, if you've ever had it.  Usually make a stew more so than baking them these days.

Yea makes a big difference to the taste, hence corn fed chickens, I have been a regular rabbit eater all my life, stinks when cooking but makes great stews and curries, problem nowadays is a lot are diseased which puts you off. Another f.....g politically correct bit of nonsense, when I was a kid every butchers had rabbits and game hanging outside, then Europe banned it and no more displays. However go to Europe and have they stopped, have they fuck, glad we're out.

This hypocrisy brought to you from the nation that gave you frogs legs, snails, horse meat and sauces to disguise it all 

[J3st3r]

BBQ pulled groundhog on home made bead. It's just as tender and yummy as pulled pork. They can be a bit gamey tasting unless you get a young one that's why I like to smother it in BBQ sauce.

Curanto, best for hangovers, cold days and a powerful aphrodisiac
