Like I say, I've been missing out as they're real tasty. As a butcher there's several things I sold and have never tasted but someday hopefully I'll eat brisket corned beef, crubbeens, tripe and cows heel. But they're nearly things of the past nowadays. Oh, nearly forgot pigs tails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aye and maybe even with the rind on for some crackling. Had kidneys this evening for my tea in fact. The beauty of having a proper local butcher. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
