To think if I'm going to eat pig intestines that I should at least have a choice?

[Ledkr]

Ugh. We are in hols and just ordered two pizzas for me dh and dds.
I picked via the description imagining that chitallins are some kind if olive or vegetable.
Well it tasted and smelled like a farmyard and on further investigation I have discovered the bike truth.
They are lovely slices if pig intestines!
Yummy eh? WTAF?
So aibu to just want a bloody marguerita in future?
-boak face

I also google anything I don't recognise, home or abroad, or failing that ask, you are being unreasonable, do your homework!

Yep. How dare people in foreign countries eat different food and trick decent holiday makers by using different words for things!

Where are you?
My parents had chitterlings regulaly in Leeds in the 1960 s (but obviously not on a pizza. Just there on a plate)

Yabu though...you had a choice to ask what they were or just have a different one.

You did have a choice, you could have picked something that you knew or picked something you didn't know, you took the 2nd of those options.

It's the same word in English, so it's not exactly foreign muck?

Btw OP do you know where tripe comes from?!

Chill out guys! I'm only 'avin a laugh. Dh is in hysterics at my face. I honestly don't expect to eat Heinz baked beans all week I genuinely didn't think and the description sounded so nice. I just didn't know what they were until I googled.
They aren't very nice btw.

You do have a choice... you picked them

Oh dear. I forgot how humourless aibu is!

Perhaps if you'd posted in Chat, everyone would be giggling along with you now?

Yes fru ill stay in the bosom of chat from now on

I tried calves foot once in France. The waitress checked I knew what I was asking for I thought it would be all tender and meaty.

It turned out to be a giant plate of wobbly jelly stuff served with mustard. A teeny little bit was fine but it was vast. The locals all smiled and nodded in pleasure while I pretended to like it, the chef came out to see how much I liked it, it was clearly his pride and joy dish.

I felt like Mr Bean in a panic with his seafood. I made dd and dh eat some but they couldn't manage much, I tried to make it look little but in the end I just had to eat it smeared as thickly with mustard as I could. I could have cried by the end.

Bad kitten, that sounds horrendous! You poor thing!

It was! It was our first night of our hols too and the ferry had been massively delayed so we had put our tent up in the dark and fallen into the nearest restaurant.

sounds yummy!
I remember some of my brothers French mates describing a roast as mushy veg and over cooked meat covered in brown stuff!
I think I read oregano olives and cream but my mind filtered out the offal.

ledkr YANBU have some more Vin and you won't notice

You have my sympathies. Years ago when I was in Majorca,I stayed in a nice hotel,with lovely buffet food. They had delicious paella every night,and one evening I helped myself to a good portion of what was apparently rabbit paella,only to find that they'd forgotten to mention that there was also tripe in it. It's one of the worst things I've ever put in my mouth.

I'm knocking it back exiled in an attempt to wash the farmyard taste from my mouth!

My dad does this to my kids. Gives them stuff they won't eat if they knew, then tells me they like tongue or something, whist being smug

back soon my friend for our catch up xx

Oh god, my mum likes chitlins. I hate them. It's weird that she likes them as she's sooooooo fussy about everything else.

I can't open that but will look at home

Ledkr you are going on the false assumption that people have a sense of humour!

Bring me brioche back ledkr
Lovely lovely brioche
No pig intestine thanks

I was indeed sonly thank god for a few normals'
dolly I think the choice is choc chip, plain, strawberry or pig innards. Any preference??
