I'm pretty sure, Raven, that you're the only person I've ever heard say they don't like salmon.

I absolutely love it, however it's cooked/served (although I wasn't keen on the tartare when I had it)

Now you can jump straight to knowing two people.

At this rate it could be an epidemic by midnight.

Hell: All seafood. Hate the texture, just can't stomach it.

Forever: BBQ (Proper stuff like Brisket, pulled pork, pit chicken, ribs, cooked in a proper smoker and served with beans and coleslaw)

Oh and I couldnt live without potatoes.

You can take a man out of Bolton but you can't take the Bolton out of a man. :pissed:

My father would have added pork pies.

Really?

Not even little squidgy baby aubergines? Delicious.

Pumpkin fit only for soup (at least until LK corrects...).

never tried baby aubergines - didn't realise there was such a thing!!! - the big ones are horrid rubbery chunks of nastiness!!! (which is unfortunate for a vegetarian because it seems to be compulsory to whack aubergine into anything vegetarian!!)

(will look out for babies!)

Plenty of veggie versions of Moussaka... Of which, I guess, baby cows would approve...

[This is man posting for whom, once, roast beef was compulsory every Sunday :oops:

Food hell is anything from the offal family

Food heaven is a difficult one. Scallops done in garlic butter followed by Manchester tart or rhubarb crumble, I really can't choose.

I know I'm risking pages of innuendo - or worse - but, really, what is Manchester tart? I guess if God likes it i won't...

On the topic of bread:

Don't know why I started doing this, just a whim at first, but for supper sandwiches I've been dropping two slices of Warby's toastie in the toaster for a few seconds. Sort of anemic toast, with a spread of Lurpac. I just had lettuce, tomato and a sprinkle of Smiths plain crisps on same and it was grand.. :wink:

That's cow's stomach lining with cow's udder :shock:

Tripe and onions - I'd forgotten about tripe and onions. How could I, loved the stuff. My mam served it up every Monday or Tuesday. haven't seen it in over forty years, but I can still remember the warm milky smell of it. Delicious. I don't think Sainsbury's does tripe

You can still get tripe on Bolton Market... I never would... I have a memory that my grandma used to sprinkle vinegar on it... Can this be right?

Yep ... "white" and "honeycomb tripe (looks like the inside of a dunlopillow pillow) with malt vinegar sprinkled in the pocket type things..

Utterly revolting.

My wife used to like lamb brains with, I think, some sort of white sauce and vegies as the accompaniment. Given that this was during the period of me wooing her I was loath to express my disapproval of eating something else's centre of existence.

Many a year has passed us by since those days but I still have the feeling that it's the reason she bleats so much.

I have a memory, and no one in our family is left to confirm, that my mother used to work for dunlopillow on Wolfendon Street, which ran between Halliwell and Blackburn Road - is that possible?

Mine too, and if they ever create an Olympic sport of how far you can spit something out, I'm our gold medal candidate.

It's got a pasty base, with a layer of jam, then a thick layer of (set) custard with coconut flavouring, topped with coconut shavings..

It's fantastic

We used to get Manchester Tart regularly at school. Not sure I've ever had it since, but now feel the need to experience it again

I didn't get any regular tart either at school nor since, but I too sure feel the need to experience it.
