For my tea tonight I am #cooking #fish stew. I got a "bag of fish bits" from the fishmonger - just random scrag ends and off cuts - so cheap it was practically free that I am cooking with onion and leek, root vegetables, wine, and ... I've not decided what herbs or spices to add yet. And while I was preparing everything, a podcast episode about #tripe. I remain unconvinced that tripe is fit for human consumption.

Today is World Tripe Day because Samuel Pepys ate some on this date in 1662. He wrote in his diary: “So home and dined there with my wife upon a most excellent dish of tripes of my own directing, covered with mustard."

10 facts about tripe:

Oh joy.... the national television channel from my home country, Radio-Canada, put out a piece of tripe about transgender care in my home province, Québec.

I watched it.

It infuriated me.

I'm going to put a link to the piece of tripe in a reply to this post. Do note that it is in French.

Here are a couple of kids who take to task that work. This clip is in English.

Google AI cannot tell the difference between fact & parody.

I think that came from the "Tripe Marketing Board" site which I am reasonably sure is parody.

I am shocked. Shocked I tell you! (Narrator voice: "Not shocked at all.")

Last Sunday, during my visit to the awesome Buen Retiro Park in Madrid, I came across the Monument of the Ángel Caído (Fallen Angel), a bronze statue dedicated to #Lucifer and located 666 meters above sea level (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuente_del_%C3%81ngel_Ca%C3%ADdo). A few hours later, my stomach full with Madrid-style #tripe, #jamon serrano and baked Iberian suckling pig, I began my monthly #fast, which I've broken today, weighing 66.6kg, with 666g of pork rib.
Coincidences? I don't believe

“After a battle, the Aztecs would take a captured enemy warrior and make him fight until he inevitably lost and was killed. The fallen warrior’s body was then used in a stew that would be consumed by religious leaders, kings, and Aztec warriors.

Thankfully, since then, the main ingredients in pozole have changed.”

Apologies for neglecting Mastodon today, friends.
Our social media team can't be everywhere at once!

Thank you to all our new followers. #Tripe for Vitality!

Sometimes I see #pho on the menu with "#Beef and #Tripe", and I go "ew, gross".

But then I go off and put chopped #hotdogs in my instant #ramen.

Same thing.

My #hypocrisy knows no bounds.

We're launching our #Tripe Christmas #Charity Campaign!

What could possibly go wrong?

"Thank god you're here - the tree just fainted!"

I was lucky enough to receive my copy from @tripe free of charge, but YOU TOO can enjoy the largely probably true Forgotten Yorkshire
(and Parts of North Derbyshire and Humberside) for the near giveaway price of 99P!! The perfect Christmas gift for those who like Yorkshire, but can’t be bothered to visit.

A laugh on every page. Not sure that’s intentional but there you are. Buy it, you won’t regret it.

@tripe hashtags very useful here from #Tripe to #SirNorman

Over on Twitter, we post a healthy mix of politics, book promotion and tripe.
Mastodon seems like a cooler place to be, so we'll probably dial back the politics and concentrate instead on a more leisurely dive into our #books and #tripe. We've also been asked if we can provide more of an insight into the workings of the TMB. It's a deal!

First day on Mastodon quite encouraging.
We were on Twitter for 6 months before we got our first follower.
