I used to love chittlins when I was a child, when I didn't put much thought into what I was eating!
We also nearly lived on braun, yuck yuck yuck

Unlike today we ate what was put in front of us or we did not eat.
Still love bread and dripping (beef) yum yum him in the corner like's it as well ....jacob

My eldest daughter has refused to eat sausages since she heard that woman say something like "anyone who thinks they've never had a sausage with an eyeball in it, is wrong"

Which is one of the reasons I started making my own. Haven't done it for a while though. Here's the first batch I made:



I only use pork shoulder in my sausages. I get the butcher to hack it off the carcass in front of me so I get a good meat to fat ratio

They look lovely Crundy, if I ate meat I'd want some!
Dad used to eat every disgusting thing going when I was little, tripe, haslet brawn, giblets, pigs trotters & cow heel, think he got me to try one or two of them once but never more than that!

[Crundy]

Those ones wern't very nice in the end. I put too much seasoning in and so the mace flavour was a bit overpowering. I think I might have another stab next week.

There's a song that goes -
"You can buy them soft or hard, by the pouhnd or by the yard!
Chitterlings is all I crave"

I think I'm going to become a vegetarian.....

We grew our own pigs at one time, so we made sausages from all the 'odd shaped' bits, but never the disgusting bits (I bought the sausage skins, because preparing them is a messy job).
I have made brawn, and very nice it was too, but I am fussy and took out all the 'nasty' bits (skin mainly, but also ears) at the final stage. You have to boil the whole head initially, because the bones and skin contain the gelatin to make it 'set', but once you have got your jellified stock, you only include the bits you are happy with. I added a couple of onions, and plenty of chilli (in whatever form it is available) to make a spicey brawn. Great stuff, and keeps almost forever in the freezer.
