Guess I was lucky Mum was a great cook and I liked everything she cooked including the silverbeet stalks. Though have to admit she didn't do Tripe which I don't think I ever remember trying not that I am driven to seek it out.

silverbeet stalks-yummy. In my apprenticeship those were eaten and the greens thrown away.
Now I cook both together.The stalks only are also nice cooked -cold -in salads

I'm thankful we have choices today. Back in the day, it was often make food out of whatever you had available. I know of a family who had 12 kids and the boys were sent down to a creek to catch some eels so they would have food that day. No such thing as family assistance back then. Yet they survived, grew up to be good citizens. I'm afraid I would balk at offal though. I'd rather eat cold porridge sammies.

My mum scrambled eggs, added sardines with curry powder. I loved it as a kid.

Lol Fisher,i thought being made to drink milk at school that had been sitting in the sun for hours bad enough, but that makes eating posters dislikes above a breeze....

well fifie... that's what my father had to eat to survive in the prison of war camp... This was the sort of crap the german guards did to them... it was so ingrained in him he still did it 10 or so years after the war... makes eating a bit of silverbeet stalk a breeze huh ???

That's so sad fisher for your dear dad. Sometimes we don't realise how lucky we are.

I think mine was steamed carrots and brussel sprouts, steamed WELL beyond the point of death and which would just turn to mush - gag! I love both now though, when they are prepared properly :)

very... he did that at home for years... he was very handy and made things out of leather for the guards and was rewarded with the "older" eggs which he would eat raw... at home he would crack two eggs in a glass and swallow them for breakfast.. another strange thing which I have adopted was to peel, halve and then slice cucumber into a bowl.. pour fresh cream over the top, salt and white pepper... This was used as a pudding.. and as kids we got to quite like it...
