Phillippe kindly brought me a small portion to try. It wasn't something i could eat a full plate of and I tried to put it politely. "Don't worry", he beamed "I couldn't eat it either. Hate the stuff!" Our favourite brasserie had tripe as ‘plat du jour’ but I said I wasn’t sure whether or not I’d like it. Phillippe kindly brought me a small portion to try.

Of course I appreciated how they were obviously carefully selected and beautifully presented. And the pigs trotter was cooked to perfection! :) However, these were the best ways I could think of to describe the taste to my readers...obviously when you have fully converted me into a french person I will be able to wax lyrical about such things. Sadly for now I am an uncultured englishman so pork pies it is :) Haha I’m sorry! Of course I appreciated how they were obviously carefully selected and beautifully presented.
