Eating in the '50s

My Dad used to eat ?Chitterlings/Chicklings? Intestines I think, that when boiled were bright pink. They'd looked disgusting bobbing about in the pan - like something from Quatermass and the Pit (if you're old enough to remember that!).

I remember being terrified by Quatermass and the pit.  I'm not shy about my age like some . Don't remember having chitterlings though.  How about sweetbreads?  Mum would spend hours preparing them.  Can't get them these days I think because of CJD.  All the offaly things have gone out of fashion  heart,  kidneys, etc shame.  We're all too affluent now.
