Huh, sooo this is a sentence...

The dish traditionally originates from the village of Mousehole in Cornwall and is traditionally eaten during the festival of Tom Bawcock's Eve to celebrate his heroic catch during a very stormy winter.

That may be the most British thing I've ever read in my life.

Make it even more British by not pronouncing the h in the name of the village, because why would they say it like it's written. It's pronounced *mauzall, I kid you not.

Tom Bawcock is a legendary character from the village of Mousehole, Cornwall, England. He appears to have been a local fisherman in the 16th century. According to the legend, one winter had been particularly stormy, meaning that none of the fishing boats had been able to leave the harbour. As Christmas approached, the villagers, who relied on fish as their primary source of food, were facing starvation.

Neat

Would you not eat it? I've never had one but I can imagine it tasting great. Am British, obviously :)

I would try it, but would definitely not have an expectation of liking it.

Be careful talking like that. The people of Cornwall would beat the tar out of you for calling their food British.

I would like to officially apologise to everyone in GB who is not British, but their tastes are just so... unique, that they overshadow the whole Area.

It's missing a side of mash and green peas.

As a US southerner that eats fried fat back, chitlins, and poke salad. I approve. I’d eat it. I bet it’s pretty good.

AlpacaChariot 5 points 3 years ago

TIL about chitlins. How do you prepare yours? I like haggis but that does have quite a lot of added flavour from the spices in it. The photo on Wikipedia with chitlins in broth does not look appetising!

MuhammadJesusGaySex 5 points 3 years ago

So, out of the 3 you picked my least favorite, and the only one that I don’t cook personally. It is seasoned, and the way my family cooks it it’s kind of a spicy soup. But, chitlins are (and I mean this more than I’ve ever meant it with any other food) either pretty good or god damn awful depending on who cooks them. People say the same thing about chicken and dumplings, but there is a lot more at stake with chitlins.

Interesting, thanks! I feel the same can be said for haggis, bad haggis is grim!

My question is, do you eat the heads or are they just decoration?

Eh, I'd give it a try. But I'm also used to eating whole fish - head and all. It's not for everyone but if done right its tasty.
