Don't order the cheval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really no different to any other sausage. Just don't think about it. Not a great fan of liver, but a good steak and kidney pie is to die for. My mother in law used to eat soft cod roe till I told her it was sperm. She didn't seem as keen after that, even though she'd eaten it all her life. Its not sperm it is eggs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My French isn't great and they didn't speak English. It turned out to be the most tender and succulent steak I've ever had. Could have been horse. I'd have it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisawright Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) I remember when I was in Rouen on work experience, the most popular dish in the restaurants was pigs' testicles. Never quite worked up enough courage to try it. Edited July 29, 2021 by Marisawright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A workmate wants to try one. You know, sausage, bacon, beans, toast, mushrooms, hash browns and all that. He even wants to try black pudding with it. Best you will get in terms of a Greasy Spoon is the Port Truckie Diner. However the sausages are beef and no black pudding. Also like every Aussie breakfast, they can't resist putting a bit of garnish on If you want black pudding you are going to have to cook your own breakfast. You can get black pudding at most Woolies now (Irish Clonakilty) or Rob's Butchers in Dandenong makes a great version. Or come round to mine 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came from the USA. I read somewhere that they appeared in the US about the same time as processed (frying) chips. The small offcuts from the chips could be compounded to make the hash browns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
