Ordered andouillette by mistake once - thinking it was something else. It wasn’t!

Tripe and onions, boiled in milk with parsley.
Yuss.
Nobody ever made like my granny, and she taught my Ma how to.
Seems to be a lost art.

I worked in a shop on a main road. There was a crossing just to one side.
One day an offal truck did an emergency stop at the crossing.
There was a forwatd surge of contents, which blew a hatch behind the driver's cab.
This horrible, grey gunge surged up like a fountain, over the cab and onto the road in front.
The smell was indescribable, and hung around for the rest of the day.

There's a spanish dish callos (said cajos) which is a tripe stew, when I was a kid me and my sister were made to eat it a few times. wrapped up in all sorts stuff to disguise the revolting sh*t.
Probably much like that French stuff, if its so good in the first place why try and hide the taste and texture of a Michelin man.
Now proper duck cassoulet from round carcasonne is heart stopping good regardless of the stuff thrown in, had neck in mine in toulouse - yummy

I had tripe once as a kid. Rule was, you sit at the table till finish dinner. Three hours later my mum gave me a slice of Brad bread and butter and let me go. Everyone else managed to eat it but she never made it again! I have had andouillettes though and didn't mind it, just a bit dull and chewy!
At a tangent, they say the Chinese will eat it if it walks with its back to the sun. I have had some spectacular Chinese meals but seem to have avoided some of the more "interesting" dishes!

When I was a student nurse over 30 years ago, that town had the highest rates of incest in the South West, we had to read case studies.

I remember the lorry that used to collect waste from the butchers in the 60's, it was just a covered wagon with a load of open 45 gallon drums in the back, they would bring out the waste in buckets to empty into the drums, in the summer the stink was appalling.

I grew up in Tiverton, but a very long time ago, and I don't recall any of that excitement!

We stayed near Castelnaudary a few years back and had a day trip to Carcassonne. I had cassoulet for dinner there and yes the absolute best.

I got the short straw one day when a forktruck came into the depot for routine work.used to do work for the councill . was working in the warehouse where they kept the dustbin wagons behind was the tripe factory and the slaughterhouses the stink when it was hot and windy were putrid and made me sick
It was from a local offal plant.
Jings, the stink was unholy.
I was in a cafe in Thailand, the local lady with me ordered something and when it came down I wasn't sure what it was. Lady didn't know the English word for it but with some thaiglish and hand waving I found out it was baby frog casserole!
Luckily I had ordered myself some khao pad gai. I can still hear her crunching through the frog bones!
