[Food] Food you love that most people would turn their noses up at nowadays?

[Norman Potting]

Just having a corned beef and mustard sandwich on white sliced with a nice cup of tea. I'm really enjoying it but most people I know would never have corned beef on their shopping lists.

I imagine anyone under the age of 30 would scoff at such an old fashioned snack.

Pining for a pickled egg? Penchant for a prawn cocktail ? Loving some liver? What food do you enjoy that people largely shun these days?

Corned beef, baked potato, coleslaw and pickle is a tea time favourite for me.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Yep. Any offal in fact. Liver and bacon with onions, kidney, heart. The things that get starred by NSC's filter (that's a weird one on me too, I suspect it's set by Google Ads but will ask). Yum.

I'd add sweatbreads but they're actually a bit cheffy and desirable these days.

Canned sardines too

Sweatbreads?
Is that 2 slices of bread wiped under a fat person's armpits and lightly fried.
Sounds yummy.

Not entirely sure if you're been sarcastic but it's sheep / lamb balls. Lovely they are as well.

A man of taste I see between those and your precise (and correct) liver instructions

If you type it correctly it gets starred out.

Bloody Hell. What is wrong with you people?

Reading this thread has instigated feelings of anti-peristalsis.

Sweetbreads aren't balls. They're a gland, typically the thymus, or the pancreas.

I'm particularly partial to all manner of offal- heart, gizzards, liver, tripe, you name it. Pig's trotters too. For Chinese New Year I made a banging chicken feet soup that I imagine some would've been squeamish about. The leftover feet were deep-fried the next day, making a delicious beer snack.

Just trying to be clever, it reads as sweatbreads on my mobile.
Ashamed because I never pick up on people's speelling, grammer; or punctuation ".

I was given corned beef at school . The smell of it used to make me feel sick .

Nowdays corned beef is something that reminds me of dog food , It has a similar smell .

I have a packet of Brains ******s in the freezer. Ready for cold weather when I am cooking for one. This rarely happens, so I may need to manufacture an excuse.
Corned beef ready for corned beef hash when none of the younger generation are about.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Big fan of tinned soup, for a cheap and quick lunch..

Seems to be slowly dying out in the supermarkets,
Being replaced with cartons at 5 times the price.
As a kid, there was no better lunch, than cream of tomato soup, with a crusty roll and butter.
More of a fan of mulligatawny or scotch broth these days.

Re Chicken Feet - the restaurant Interlude serves them deep fried ( without the bones - no idea how ) and they are delicious.

 

[Nitram]

Vesta beef curry, not had one in ages must try harder.

 

[Seecider]

Stuffed, braised hearts.

 

[banjo]

Cockles

 

[Since1982]

Devilled kidneys.

I do most of these delicacies in my cafe.

Liver and bacon with onions is probably my biggest selling dish , after all day breakfast. Bacon and onion pudding goes well as does homemade individual steak and kidney pudding.

I haven’t seen tripe at any butchers for years now, I think I’d have to order it specially, and no one else I know would eat it.
When I was a kid, money was tight for my parents, 6 kids on a farm cowmans wages, so Sunday dinner would often be a roast Ox heart. I imagine I would also have to order it in now, and it would cost a fortune.
Funnily enough, Chicken used to be quite expensive when I was a child,and very much a treat.
