Myself, I eat almost anything. Except tripe and I don't fancy squid
either.

I'm with you: tripe is a step to far. People around here adore it
though.

I associate tripe with post WWII food shortages and dehydrated mashed
potato
POM.
IMO tripe is tasteless and has a slimy texture.




Actually, I think it's deeply yummy. I've eaten white and dark tripe.
Never cooked it; all our family ate it washed straight from the butchers
with vinegar, salt and pepper. Exquisiste! Can't buy it now for
trying.
Last time I asked for some, the butcher said "Is it for your dog?"
Totally

When I had a lot of dogs, I used to get what is called green tripe for
them,
which is not the same as white tripe that humans eat. It absolutely
stank
but they loved it.
So I guess that's what your butcher thought you wanted.

Absolutely wouldn't eat tripe myself. No way.

You probably need a specialist butcher to get some now to eat yourself.
I
don't think it will go well in the supermarkets.

How little you know.
Morrison's had it for sale in prepacks in the butchery dept. today.

so maybe Spider needs to go to Morrisons. I never go there. It's quite
offensive to say "how little you know" tbh.
I know the supermarkets I frequent don't have it which is why I suggested a
specialist butcher.
