Food I/we used to (happily) eat.

[Fab Foodie]

Young are on the docks now I think, Bluecrest was the name of the Humberstone one last time I went.

I used to go to Grimsby regularly for work, but it's probably four years since I was last there.

I was also a regular visitor there for work, but haven't been there for at least 15 years. I kind of miss it, it had a buzz about it .... even had a go at Dogfish filleting on the North wall ... good times!

Not being to the manor born, I don't know this brand .... unless its

(google tells me there was a softdrink, long gone now)

1/3 pint bottles of milk at school and Jammie Dodgers.

Reminds me of taking the bottles back to the shop....

Which reminds me of climbing over the fence into the newsagent's back yard, removing the returned bottles and re-returning them

My memory is of Corona bottles that needed a bottle opener, but I wouldn't stake my life savings on it!

Maybe it was a time / region thing? My memories are of Leicester in the late 60's / early 70's.

Things I have eaten once and never again:
Tripe ("boiled knitting")
Brawn
Bread and dripping
Jellied eels

Things I would travel a long way to eat again:
Black pudding
White pudding
Haslet/Aislet
Faggots

Liver is fine occasionally, kidney if I absolutely have to.

I have never tried sweetbreads, as I have heard it's a lot of b*ll*cks.

There was a white parsley sauce and a yellow ?butter? Sauce? At least that's what I remember.

I think you can still get both!

there is a dish from Ireland particularly from Dublin called a Coddle its a soup/broth......one of the ingredients is sausages which are placed in whole and raw, where they then boil with the rest of the ingredients, so they never brown, it freaks out people the first time they get to eat it but it is beautiful..

I like this. A Dublin Cuddle! I know its really coddle... but I do understand the idea of the raw sausages cooked in broth. Not all things have to be browned. Browning adds caramelisation which is, of course, delicious. But sometimes the subtle and real taste of the meat should be allowed to take centre stage. I imagine this is quite an aromatic dish?

Brawn.......that disgusting mix of fat, gristle and if you were lucky a bit of meat

Had to fight the dog for that tonight, she is only puppy so might have to use a better knock out blow eventually.

 

[SD1]

Bullocks heart.............I understand this is now an expensive delicacy but back then it was a very cheap thing that only poor people ate.

No cheap as chips. Ox heart is so so cheap. Ask my dog she lives on it,

Cod cheeks £5 a kilo. Cheek house Grimsby.... Giving it away!!!

 

[slowmotion]

Yew berries, but NOT the pips.
