UK only. Masterchef, what a load of cock!

I never tried it. I draw the line at eating somethign that has walked around in pig shit for 2 years. As for the writers comment about 'fromage du tete', he fails to mention that it is actually brains. Thats somehting else you can cross off my list, but it is supposed to taste of cheese, and be reasonably textured to eat. Now, the thought of eating grey, cheesy, slightly firm stuff from a pig really doesnt float my boat.

Yep, I ate cold sheep's brain when I lived in Turkey - not too bad but it does not have a great deal of flavour. I have not eaten eyes (yet)!
Just say 'NO' to evaluated arguments for diadic functions! Ash

You do eat it with mashed peas too dont you in Australia? As for heat, well, take it out of the microwave earlier! But yes, a good meat pie (in fact pies themselves are fairly unique to Britain and its colonkies. You never see them in France Belgium or Holland for example) is damn tasty. Chicken and muchroom, beef and mushroom, hmmmm, getting near lunch....

Occasionally. I prefer it sans peas.

I hate mushrooms. I don't eat things that are related to athlete's foot. Cheese and bacon pies are the best, although I've had some good curry pies and stuff like that.

There is lots of an animal that really shouldnt be eaten IMO. Testicles, tripe, brains, eyes. Best thing is just to make it into generic cheap burger meat. At leat you cant see what you are eating! What is odd though is that all these peasant dishes have beome more popular, and more celebrated than the other dishes which came from more palatable parts of the beast.

I am not a fan of peas either. Or beans for that matter. Lentils are OK ina curry, but odly I like re-fried beans.

:laugh: Good point. But they are still nice. How about shellfish? Do you eat mussels for example? Cheese and onion pies are nice too, if you can find them.

No they're not. They're not even a plant or an animal!

I dunno... I don't have a very refined palate for slimy things.

It took me quite a long time to get to like shellfish. Cheese too. I used to hate it. Heres an interesting fact, a UK producer of Indian spices and pickles ships, every week, 5 tonnes of tandoori curry paste (to UK customers). It shows just how much we eat of the stuff in the UK.

Have you never tasted freshly collected mussels, covered in light grating of cheese, popped briefly into a hot oven, and washed down with proper black velvet?[^] 'Tis the perfect Sunday morning prelude to a large, cholesterol-packed brunch!

Chicken Tika Masala became the UKs favourite dish many years ago. Its a curry developed in the UK, by Indian restaurants, and now, exported to India. You can even get Tika Masala pizzas in the UK! We eat a LOT of curries. A vast quantity.

I disagree, if it has nutrient value then it can and should be eaten. There is far too much food wasted in the West because of this sensitivity to uncommon parts of the animal. Spend some time in a third world country (I lived in Turkey in the mid 1970s and visited in rural Uganda more recently) and you will get a better perspective on how difficult life can be if you cannot afford the 'rich' cuts, or in many cases, any meat at all.

True, you like to sit back and have it done for you.

Hey, I can get involved if it's not about food or climate change.

AT least food is interesting. GW is so dull these days. I think people have become utterly numbed by the onslaught from the media, with the total lack of any substantial change in the climate. It seems everyone has put it on a back burner to be ignored till something does actually happen. Foods good though. Its never a divisive topic.
