I was a little older but I remember similar, frog spawn as we called sago and dead man's veins as we called macaroni. Yes, and liver as you describe it.

This is not for the faint hearted
As I am of a mature age (68) there were foods we regularly ate which I wouldn't 'choose' to eat now (and before someone says it......I'm sure that would change it I was starving).
Bear in mind, I was brought (dragged) up near the Wallasey/Birkenhead docks after the war years and money was short.
- Saturday night would often be a sheep's head- as in........literally, the head of a sheep sat in the middle of the table. We would eat the meat & the brain......the tongue was a delicacy.
- Brawn.......that disgusting mix of fat, gristle and if you were lucky a bit of meat
- Rabbit.......I still remember the taste.........very nice. But I cant imagine eating it now.
- Bread and dripping. For Saturday lunch this was a norm'.
- Bullocks heart.............I understand this is now an expensive delicacy but back then it was a very cheap thing that only poor people ate.
- Sterilized milk..........I recall enjoying that but came to hate it later. It had a lid you had to prize of...it was just so sickly.
- Coni-oni butties...............that was bread with condensed milk on. Again, I never enjoyed them but.......needs must and all that.
I'd love to eat rabbit now, one of the leanest meat you can get. We have tried to cook it a couple of times but we can't get it right
Rabbit cooked by somebody that knows how to do it, makes a delicious dish. I have eaten some strange things.... goat testicles, sheep and pig's head just to name a couple

Another raw sausage eater, Mother used to give it to me as a treat, surprised I survived without food poisoning, she also used to water the milk down for our cornflakes.

it's not food poisoning you are risking, it's parasites

We had tripe and onions at least once a week for dinner (that's at 12:00 for the southerners). We used to eat heart, liver
We had cow heel stew, Ox tail and scrag end, whatever that is.
Pigs trotters and pigs feet.

Either I or my mum used to go to the butchers and pick up a bag of bones. From the size of them they were the upper leg bones of cows. The dogs (we had up to four Old English sheepdogs), got.one each. The rest went into a pan for making soup which lasted us for about three days..

I ate goats testicles once, the bloody thing damn near kicked me to death before I'd finished.
