Boytjie Posted June 13, 2013 #104 Share Posted June 13, 2013 That sounds horrible!!!! It's not what you may think it is. :) Thinks of savory scons with a gravy made from the drippings of cooked pork sausage, white flour, milk, and often (but not always) bits of sausage, bacon, ground beef, or other meat. The gravy is often flavored with black pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that called a chef. Knock it before you tried it? :eek: ;) Different cultures/places have different things they eat that may seem odd. Years ago I was traveling with a friend through Europe and stayed with his relatives in Switzerland. His aunt asked us what we usually have for breakfast and when we said bacon and eggs she made it for us one morning. His cousin walked in and was she appalled that we ate that in the morning! There are think you eat in the UK, perbinder, that sound ghastly. Blood pudding or bubble and squeak anybody? :eek: I have a feeling the won't of you won't go for Chinese or Japanese breakfasts. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipper Tim Posted June 13, 2013 Author #109 Share Posted June 13, 2013 One thing I always stock up on in Turkey because I simply can't get it anywhere is tripe soup. Tripe has gone out of fashion in the UK but I have never seen tripe soup here ever. Delish! Might have some now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmoMondo Posted June 13, 2013 #113 Share Posted June 13, 2013 its all the fault of you buggers north of Hadrian's for corrupting us with the Krankie's, who by the way gave Silvio Brylcreemo the idea for Bunga Bunga.For those who don't know Bunga Bunga is a n Italian dance not unlike the Shag. Yes the country that gave the world Single Malt, Golf, television, the first telephone, Tarmac and some other stellar contributions, also inflicted the Krankies on you all....and lets not forget the Proclaimers.

Boytjie Posted June 13, 2013 #117 Share Posted June 13, 2013 You are so banned from now on for reviewing the food on MSC Why, just because he likes tripe?

sthelder Posted June 14, 2013 #120 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have a feeling the won't of you won't go for Chinese or Japanese breakfasts. ;) Not sure about Jap, but I am currently living in Beijing and sometimes do eat what the locals eating. We also had tripe (with bun) in Florence, and it's rather average taste compared to what they are selling in China :eek: btw, some locals here swore that the best sheep in the world is from Inner Mongolia...
