Following on from another thread....

 

I got to thinking about food thats not around any moor or difficult to find... rabbit/hare/pigeon etc and the dishes that were made from the... brawn/pie/jugged hare etc... and all the things grandmothers used to make but seem to have been forgotten... What are the things you miss?

Down here in the Devon area game is still quite popular and common. The butchers across the road form where I used to live in Sidmouth always has rabbits/pigeon/brawn available

Never liked liver, tastes better raw than cooked, never liked tripe either, hearts nice and kidneys but I particularly liked sweetbreads and brains which I cant get over here, tripe and liver by the truck load and pigs face [too rubbery for me] {no I dont mean nice}... what are "pink sausages"?

Pigeon is still fairly popular (I've had it in several restaurants), I've also had rabbit in recent months. These foods are still out there if you look for them.

No idea what was in them but growing up the only sausages we ever had were very cheap and very pink from Norton Coop. They were delicious.

I saw a man selling Black Country Chips- Chips fried in Beef Dripping

I have eaten sheeps testicles..deep fried. Very nice. When i was in Singapore we ate some odd things...pig head, deep fried sea horses, rice birds, some insects which I am not sure about.

 

I was told by locals that if it has a face they will eat it

I was also at a food festival, and had pigeon pie off Jim McDonald off Coronation Street. As he owns Prestbury Farm Shop.

 

It was a bizarre experience!
