:rotfl:I have one word to say .... oxtail!

PMSL!!! I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW!!!!!

I do wonder why on earth I would eat the meat of something that probably spends most of its time with a layer of !!!!!! on it _pale_

Its the reason I avoided it for years.... but saw some that had been whoopsied and couldn't help myself I really liked it but tbh I couldn't really get its exact location out of my head

That would NOT be happening with kidney tho

Seriously, much cleaner and better than anything else!!!

(and who said us ladies aren't 'up for it' Some of us may be )

:rotfl:

Fair point , it does make me wonder how people in medieval times used to deal with this? I'm off to exercise my google-fu on "medieval methods of menstrual containment" :cool:

Stealing someone's toilet roll while visiting them! Someone posted that they'd done that but I think that's taking frugality too far.

I agree - that is seriously a step too far. Its not being frugal, its thieving from a friend/aquaintance.

I would never stoop so low - I would be happy with rags and a bucket if I had the choice of stealing from friends or rags. No question.

Blowing your nose in a tissue and then using it to wipe your "bits and pieces"! Im sorry but that is way too far for me, it grosses me out just thinking about. I can't actually believe that people do this! _pale_

Oh, as long as you fold it over to enclose the snot before you wipe your bits it works just fine, honestly. What else can you do when you go to a public loo and find there's no loo paper and only have one slightly used tissue in your handbag? It's better than dripping!:rotfl:

hmmmmm not really... the wee goes through the bits of the kidney that you eat... With oxtail, the poop is on the outside bit of the tail that are cut off (and probably turned into cheap sausages or used for shoe leather:rotfl:)

The meat inside is wee and poop free... and tender and delicious when slow cooked

omg this is making me feel queasy now - shall we quit? LOL!!!

Just pick the absolutely worst thing that you really wouldn't do even if faced with no other choice whatsoever....

Its great to see how different we all are in what we could or couldn't tolerate doing... What is perfectly acceptable to one person can be absolutely abhorrent to another.

Oh I don't - I used to eat it a lot when I was little (DGM made fantastic oxtail soup) not had it for years tho'
