Arrowroot biscuits after swimming. Like a big Rich Tea

In early drinking years, my local landlord would offer a free half to anyone able to eat one in under a minute, without touching liquid.

Regular purple faces and spluttering crumbs....

I don't think she ever actually used this receipe, but it's from one of my late mother's cookbooks.

Thats the one. We used to call it Chitlins. It was forced upon us as kids, but I liked it with salt. Is it still sold?
Time to break this thread out...
what have you forced yourself to eat...?

Black pudding...which is essentially fried scab.

That though puts me off every tine now.

Used to love this in the UK with a fry up; when I came to France a farmer neighbour offered me what I assumed was the French equivalent "boudin noir"

This is basically a sausage full of congealed blood that is served warm and runny inside. Still makes me heave seeing others eat it.

We were quite keen on naming our house Chitterlings End but wondered if the powers-that-be might spot what it actually meant,
