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.

Quatermass, will need to Google that to see what you are on about
As for the offal out of fashion, I think the Mad Cows Disease stopped that being sold
