I love pate Sagehen..

DM I dread to think what you're consuming in Africa! what's the local delicacy where you are?

We live on a camp so the food is ok

but

Local food is snakes, lizards and some form of bushmeat (they are little rat like things that live in the jungle)

Nosey?, Here? never 

Im a manager for an Oil service company and I work month on month off in Equitorial Guinea (and its not as well paid as you may think and its not very exciting either) 

Id much rather breed rats,mice,snakes and goats lol

[Helencus]

well it does sound interesting.. I know what you mean tho I've had to work away in the past and much much prefer living at home with the horses,hens and pigs.. oh and the family too of course

Back to offal...we hand make and sell Faggots (or Savoury Ducks as they are known around here) they contain heart, liver, kidney and lungs...and believe me we sell a lot! Nothing better on a cold winter evening with some mash potatoes, peas and onion gravy!!!  

Farmer,  

[Helencus]

seems I eat more "offal" than I thought cause I love faggots and mushy peas too, so does the family. Mind that's the packaged ones but I bet the homemade ones are much nicer.

I know in reality I do eat chitterlings , as I eat sausages , but I have been served up a plate  full of chitterlings and they just looked like huge tape worms to me ...I was heaving .....liver I can just about eat , kidneys the same , but heart and lung as is .... no way ...BUT ... I do like faggots a lot (but not 'into' the American kind at all thankyou  !!) . Pigs trotters make me heave too , as does boiling bacon and peas pudding . I have got a tin of peas pudding , but for the life of me I just cannot bring myself to open it and give it a go ...those distant memories have scarred me for life ..lol  , but I will open it one day ...just not yet .... not yet ...

cheers

At 15 hubby was a Saturday butcher boy and has seen live crawl accross the butchers block with bacteria. lol Enough to put you off eh?
