Have you ever eaten tongue or pigs trotters?

I have tried tongue -my parents, being European used to cook it and have it on sandwiches -this is one of the very few foods that I did not like the look of however the taste was quite nice, but I would still not cook it myself.

Pigs trotters I will not eat as to me they are dirty having mucked around in dirt all their lives!

I have eaten tongue as Mum used to cook it in Africa where I lived as a child....thought was quite nice but the thought of it now is not palatable to me now....never had pigs trotters but believe the jelly it generates is very tasty!!

I'm vegetarian so they don't sound very appetising to me!

I don't eat meat any more but even when I did I mostly drew the line at recognisable bodyparts (one exception would be chicken legs, which look sufficiently unlike part of a live chicken).

I love ox tongue on a sandwich or hot with steamed veg and a piquant sauce. (sounds very Hannibal Lecter).
When I was a child my father and I used to have pigs trotters every saturday afternoon before the football. Loved them and a few years back I had them again at a French restaurant in Richmond, Victoria. The restaurant's supplier must have been very popular because those pig trotters cost me a whole lot more than I'm sure my mother used to fork out. Guess it's a little bit like pork belly and lamb shanks - used to be throw away stuff and now it all costs a fortune.

I haven't had either - not very appealing to me.

I've eaten ox and pig/pork tongue as a sliced meat. I like ox tongue, but not pork. Ive never eaten trotters.

As a child I have eaten tongue,but not often as I did not really like it and would prefer to go and make myself a yummy Peanut Butter sandwich instead!!!

I have tried both but not in quite a while. I had chicken feet recently though.

by Gia

Ive seen chickens feet in the shops but didnt know you can eat them. I give them to the dogs as there is no meat on them

No way I would eat them......unless I was starving.
Plain and simple.

Hah! That's a good picture! Lol!

LOL! I know, shame about the grammar though.

No thank you. Haven't done it, don't know if I could.

I'm a vegetarian since childhood, so absolutely not! However, even if I wasn't a vegetarian, I wouldn't be eating offal or tongue, pigs trotters etc. My mother used to eat this type of food & I was always repulsed.

Yes, both. Not going to again. Not my meat of choice!

by donjo

No and I won't be putting my hand up to try them any time soon.

by Lluxi

Yes, all the time as a child, and even today, if I could find them anywhere I would buy them with no hesitation.My husband though would look at me and go no way.

Hello Denise.....
Could you not get them from your Butcher?
I enjoy lamb brains, crumbed & fried.
Also lamb's fry & bacon, with mashed spud, & lots of gravy!
I get both those products from my Butcher, but they've to be pre-ordered! Cheers!

No thank-you! Not now and not ever.

Ive tried trotters, They tasted quite nice. When I was in South America, I couldnt speak spanish but pointed to what I wanted to eat. While eating I got the phrase book out and realised I was eating tongue. The more I nibbled my mind strayed to whos tongue it was. I couldnt finish as my brain went into overdrive.

No Way! But having 'said' that, if I didn't know what I was eating, I may eat it!!!
