tripe is quite nice, i boil it in a pan with some milk. i like kidneys too, kwik save have them in gray in a tin for 48p, mmmmmm. lovely with some bread to mop up the gravy.

160... what does tripe taste like? whats the texture like? Im a bit nervous of it, which is unlike me ;D
More old fashioned things we should encourage to bring down the cost of the weekly shop -like big bones with marrow in them, my boys love them, using stale bread - eggy bread, bread pudding, soup :P mmmm
I did wonder if we only had homemade sweets would my kids appreciate the finer things in life a bit more. Not that they have a lot of sweets, so i made a batch of peppermint creams yeaterday, and they think Im an alchemist ;D

tripe is a bit of a mixture of fish and meat in texture, is worth just getting half a pound and trying it, like i said i do it in a bit of milk. always sounds horrid, but nice really. just call it something else and you'll be okay. my kids call it special chicken cos they'd vnever eat anything called tripe.

Tripe doesn't have a strong taste.............a bit like chicken.

Tripe and onions in milk is nice but the sight is a bit off-putting, cut it quite small and it don't look so bad

i like it with rice chopped small (the tripe not the rice)

Jars of curry sauce are generally good and usually on offer as well. I find it works out cheaper than buying loads of this and that to get it all together. I've tried doing it properly but everyone prefers the cheats version!
