Eating the whole cow

<<<I was at Publix this evening on a grocery run and in the meat 
department I *actually* saw tripe in the meat case.  I stopped up 
short thinking,"What the hell is that?"  And, I must say, it did NOT 
look appetizing!

Trina, delurked and on a posting spree! >>> 

It's cow stomach, isn't it?  And, it's from that famous line in POA or GOF, "Tripe, Sybil?" from Minerva.  Classic!  

I find this thread about food from England and America fascinating!  Thanks for starting it, Nicole!  I am very interested in the British culture, like she is! 

One thing about the food, in reference to Pippin's post describing how the whole cow gets used up (I think for steak and kidney pie), and Nicole's response of being glad to be in America to just be able to eat a good steak, not the whole cow (or something to that effect...I'm paraphrasing, and it's also very late, so it could all be in my imagination...).  

I just wanted to mention that we DO use the whole cow here in America.  Or at least we did when Laura Ingalls Wilder was growing up.  If you've ever read that series, you can appreciate the fact that EVERYTHING was used and NOTHING went to waste.  Loved those books!  Makes you appreciate everything modern.

 Here's a question I've been wanting to ask ....have you ever heard of the group "Barenaked Ladies"? I'm interested to know which music groups are popular or at least well known in England that are from America.  I know you know Madonna (she lives there now, right?), Michael Jackson, etc.  I know there are groups from England here that are popular, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.  Give me a couple of days (it's late).
