    kind of soft yet firm (almost like tofu texture) and um...... brainy

    They don't taste like chicken.

    I love sweet breads.
    We loved sweetbreads growing up, mum has not managed to buy any for years, no one seems to sell them.

    I would like to secure the hides of our kills. Nae - yes please! Not sure when we'll do the sheep - we'll do it as soon, I hope. I'd love to spread a couple of steer hides on the floor of the shed and, ultimately, the strawbale house

    My grandmother used to make brawn with a pigs head, boil it down and do it that way. I LOVED it as a kid.

    Never seen sweatbreads at a butcher. Only at fancy pants restaurants.

    I was fed chicken feet, chicken heads, chicken livers & stomachs, wait for it.....tripe which is the intestines of cow i think.....but I grew up on this as my grandma had a farm in Poland and people just ate those kind of things, so when mum then cooked the tripe and fried livers for me and my brother even up until a few years ago it was something I was used to. But brains, I just don't think I could eat. And I wouldn't eat Skippy or crocodile meat

    Raisin toast is but raisin' hell is unacceptable.

    I could eat Skippy because it has fur but I wouldn't eat anything with scales *shudders*.

    I've eaten heart - which is muscle tissue and therefore pretty much tastes like any other cut of meat. Grandma used to serve up ox tongue - complete with the taste bud bits on the outside - mmmm gagalicious. Brains - erm, no.

    My mum & my two dads loved brains, tripe and the like, my 2nd mum wasn't too fussed on that but made a to-die-for steak & kidney pie (which I now have modified into a steak pie)

    Maggie Beer loves sweetbreads too. She cooked them up on her show a little while ago.

    I wish I liked eating all that stuff, but I don’t. I think if an animal is killed for us to consume we should us all of it, so that none is wasted.

    My local butcher sells crocodile meat. True!

    I've eaten chickens feet, but not the rest of that stuff (at least not knowingly...)

    Omm nom nom ... kangaroo ... camel ... delicious!

    I didn't like crocodile or emu or eel, but generally like other things with feathers or scales!

    Hmmm... nope.

    But I'll tell you something I hate... black pudding. No. Freakin. Way.
    I like Christmas pudding, though

    Astrid should know how to cure a hide
    I can cure a hide. Eliptical cross trainer, 45 minutes daily.
