British Offal

   I have realised most of the worlds unusual delicacies tend to be offal.

   Which is an advantage to my studies as my COP3 is surrounded by the idea of disgust. I'm taking my study of the human body as a disgusting object to the animal body as being a disgusting object.

   Even to this day we continue to eat things such as steak and kidney pie in Britain - I can remember my mother telling me they were mushrooms at a small age. Being a true carnivore I am open to eating offal and have eaten the likes of kidney, liver, tripe, haggis, black pudding and my beloved dripping spread (meat juices and fat.)


mmm... blood-cleaning organ pie...

   Just a quick search will allow me to see what organs we actually do eat in Britain today -
  • Haggis - Sheep's stomach stuffed with liver, heart, lungs and rolled oats.
  • Faggots - Ground pig's offal.
  • Steak and Kidney Pie - Veal or Beef kidneys.
  • Brawn - Tissue found on an animals skull, cooked, chilled in gelatin.
  • Black Pudding - Congealed pigs blood with oatmeal.
  • Melton Mowbray Pork Pies (jelly) - Pigs Trotters
  • Ox Tongue
  • Tripe
