    Ha ha omg raw GREEN tripe never heard of that eeugh 🤣 he looks very good and healthy on it though. Years ago i used to cook a concoction of minced beef, lambs liver, kidneys, hearts, rice and broccolli that used to absolutely pong my flat out and that used to turn my stomach until it was cooked 🙄 You must have a strong constitution 👍.

    He eats raw chicken, turkey, lamb, duck, rabbit etc; at leat 10% of which is bone. The tripe is added to some of his meals - Nutriment (All included in the meal. All I do is defrost them). I have a chest freezer full of 500g trays. I used to buy the 1.4 kg chubbs, but am now too weak to put a meat cleaver through a partially frozen chubb. The trays make it more expensive, but he has eaten Nutriment since 8 weeks old.

    There used to be tripe dressers all over the place, but they have almost completely diisappeared. It was an important part of working people's diet at one time. Have you read Orwell's 'The Road To Wigan Pier'?

    No I've not read that. I'll Google it omg I've got around 200 books I've got to read, only read 1 last year 'cos of eyes but I really miss reading and have got a big magnifying glass.

    My mum used to cook tripe for her and dad, neither my sisters nor I would eat it. I think it's cow's stomach.

    It's good you get it in trays/prepared guessing it's mainly if cooking it it pongs. Bet I was popular with my upstairs neighbours, I only lived their 4 months. Gonna Google that book I'm addicted to them !

    Now got to find the book, it sounds fascinating, love social history and glad it isn't a novel I only tend to read non- fiction.would love to see his publisher, Victor Gollancz's interview with MelvincBragg/1970 might You Tube that one. Thanks for mentioning, recommending it! Love the comment he couldn't economically justify getting married (Orwell) sounds like he was quite careful with money although c 88 years later I reckon there's some similarities to today overall.

    It can be hard going in parts, but the insight from Orwell's lived experiences In the north, in the 1930s is something else. (Very funny in parts too).

    @Ranald thanks, looking forward to reading it, can imagine the half re politics could be hard going Luddites and all that, not sure if it's going to be a bit over my head tbh but I'll give it a go. Magnifying glass at the ready!! Purchased his biography can't member author's name but he was a emeritus professor at Birkbeck.
