Lambs frys are white meat from a male .that's why I couldn't eat anymore after my late Mum told me .each to their own you have to try all things if you don't like em fair enough.enjoy if you do :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D

It's a little tail, with quite a big chunk of meat.
I never said how much 2 tails (and accompanying meat) cost.
Well, it was on offer at £1.
Cheap enough to not worry about if it's awful - but cheap enough to try as a new experience.
I just need to make sure I have a can of soup handy.

Kay, it's only a little tail .


Maggie,one has to take what one can,,,,,,,be grateful.


:-D :-D .

There is a bit of leg on it, Barbra - about the size of a very large chop - and 2 inches thick!
Some of the recipes though just use the tails - deep fried.
I also eat a lot of heart, and lamb's kidneys are delicious.

My gran once gave me melts. I thought it was mushroom -and I refused to eat mushrooms for quite a long time.
I've since found out that the 'melt' is the cow's spleen.

Sharron :-S

Allan - I love a bit of decent black pudding - so that excludes 'Mattessons' - and 'proper' white pudding is pretty good too :-D
If I find a 'real' butcher on my travels, I'll try their black pudding.
So far, Newbury, Marlborough, somewhere on the Kennet and Avon canal, Crowe, Shaftesbury and the co-op on Skye (brilliant white pudding too - and some excellent porter) amongst others, have come up trumps :-D

In Oz lamb's fry refers to lamb's liver

When I was in the UK I used to enjoy the other variety as part of a huge fry-up breakfast which also contained black pudding

Traditionally, when the family pig was killed, the only thing wasted was the squeal.

Somebody I knew had passed on half a pigs head to family up the road for them to make brawn, which they did.

There was something up with it because, next time he went round, they were all sitting on buckets and holding bowls and basins, whatever they could find.

Some of the food on here I remember one of my friends her OH use to eat heart & a lot of pigs trotters.my Mum use to make lambs fries when I found out what they were never ate any more .ugh
Why would anybody eat pigs tails there only little curly things. Not much meat on :-) think it's offal the food some people eat ;-) Barbara

My apologies for the faux pas, Maggie. (that's French for false father) :-D :-D

Kay, it's only a little tail :-D

'Twas my father in law, Alan. Well, ex's father.
*whispers* - he was personal chef to King George VI - who, apparently didn't like anything 'fancy', so 'Bob' as he was known (but not his name) used to travel to places where 'fancy' food may be served to the King, in order to make him something else:-D

The Riss is an extremely interesting creature. Dou know how nay have to expire to make a decent plate of rissoles?

Incidentally, Maggie, your earlier post regarding the brawn that your father made shows that he knew the correct method, and ingredients, for making pork brawn.

What I make with the hocks is really just pork in jelly

That's true!
I should have said I don't make rissoles (or eat ready made ones), but recipes appear to show them made of minced beef or lamb - leftovers from, say, a roast..

I don't eat pig tails but I know where they come from.

No eye deah! :-D
I don't eat rissoles.

They put the bit underneath in rissoles don't they? Along with eye-holes and earholes.

Of course the Water meadows....back to food...if I ever see a pig tail I might just buy one to see....

There are still the nice shops.
We occasionally sit in the Cathedral Grounds to dog watch too :-D
The walk through the Water Meadows is pleasant.

We've also found some interesting streets.

Maggie you could always have tied it to a stick and used it as a whip,,,,,,,,,,or give it to the cats to play with,,,,,,yuk,,,,,,,,hope you chop it into bite size bits,,

gaging ,,,,,,,,

Sounds fun :-D

Used to be some nice little shops there and of course the theatre and the Cathedral......I still yell at the telly every time they mispronounce Salisbury over here :-)

We go there to sit outside a pub on the square, pint in hand, and dog watch!

Used to love Salisbury...
