Dont know what all the fuss is about :confused:

Black pudding is awsome. Anyone who thinks otherwise is frankly less of a man.

Now tripe is something i saw as a kid that i have no intention of seeing again.
 
You can buy White pudding in Ireland, just as nice as black. Not sure why people say things are rank without tasting it first.

here too. not sure how you'd compare them though as thay are 2 completely different things.

Someone mentioned tripe - I agree, tripe is quite possibly the fowlest looking edible thing i've seen. The only people who buy it are old people still in war ration mode.
 
Bloody hell there are some right tarts on here. :D Black pudding, piccalilli (especially slabbed onto a corned beef sandwich made with thick home cut bread) and the like are foods of the gods. Let's not forget liver and onions too. Om nom nom.

I can't really say I can think of a food I wouldn't know what to do with. Do you just eat out of packets? :o :p
 
Chutney - use like pickle, in a sandwich or something, good with cheese.
Picallili - same really, good with cold meat
Dried lentils - all sorts, soups, currys, or just boiled up on a plate as a side dish.

Some right fussy eaters, on here. Whats wrong with eating an animals blood, if you eat its flesh why not it's blood or it's organs?
Bloody poncey eaters.

I hate anything pickled (apart from ghurkins - only on a burger) - just tastes of vinegar :/ I like onions pre pickling - not whole though :p

Liver is another one people say they don't like without trying. Insisting it just sounds awful is stupid - how can you say eating an organ is awful, but be ok to eat leg muscle ?
 
pearl barley, amazing in stews, next to the meat, my favourite part of a stew, but what else is it used in though?

ok, first up...

Chutney. I know I like mango chutney with popadoms in the local, but what the hell else do you do with it?

you stick it in curries, along with pickles and other chutneys..?

i've also got a good recipe for meatballs with mango chutney and dried apricots, delicious!

regarding the thread, my vote is golden syrup, treacle or marmite.
i mean really, nobody eats this stuff! :p

More awesome om nommage! Barley also makes an excellent bread, though stews etc is a mainstay for it. Has anyone else noticed how this thread is mostly rustic, traditional British products? I don't see anyone asking what the use/point of *insert namby pamby modern trash here* is. :( Bring back real food and real cooking. It's full of win, and you'll probably live longer/healthier too.
 
I'm from down South where we can afford proper food such as pizza and baked beans, and thus don't have to worry about encountering nondescript lumps of psuedo-meat, or bizarre vegetable-esque foodstuffs that leave oneself questioning exactly what is suposed to be done to render said items edible.

*scoffs*
