    May I suggest a tripe "towel" massage. Free tripe Aromatherapy included. A circulatory marvel!

    Free sample pack to be sent to LV's sil, with free tea sample.

    Minimum wage employees? Nah, we're recruiting volunteers!

    Forget the hype, feel alive with tripe!

    Ripe Tripe comes in:
    (a) The Super Deluxe Exotic Ripe Tripe Hamper containing Tripe and Mango Chutney, Tripe Truffles, Tripey Chocs, Minced Tripe Pies, Tripe Tea Bags and, of course, Tripe Stuffing for your Christmas Dinner.

    Ooh, what was that…? 'Tripey chocs'…? :shock:

    In addition to my duties as board member, I hereby volunteer my services as official tester of this product :)

    How about eau de tripe?

    Slosh? What a splendid idea, I rather like that! It will come in a white bottle shaped like all four stomachs of a cow - Z level celebs will want it! DD

    :shock: DD, DD, where's your marketing brain cell? Was it floored by a stick of celery?

    Eau de tripe will surely come in four white collectible bottles. Perhaps, going back to Boomer's idea, they could bear an 'Individual bovine life history (of the model) included with every purchase, with optional photo of "your" cow.' (And our cash cow.)

    Phee – :o you're worrying me now.

    i like trip and onions
    Now that could attract some unwelcome attention....although it is reckoned to be of value for pain relief.
    My suggestion of Tripewire was coloured by recent events - I even managed to miss out the middle 'e' when first writing the post...

    Might we reclaim Hallowe'en from the USA - Tripe or Treat night?

    Yup. Or bat's blood if you prefer :wink: Tripe is very versatile.

    On Masterchef Australia last night a girl cooked crispy tripe with tomato sauce. I bit like pork scratchings I guess. It inspired me and I'm now thinking of bags of tripe scratchings as a healthy snack - you need to eat a zillion bags to get the same anti-inflammatory benefit as no paracetamol - flavours would include celery salt. Any takers?

    Oh go for it, LV! If it's good enough for the Aussies it's good enough for us.

    I keep having visions of a piece of the sort of trip that's like egg box compartments and each compartment would have a ginger-infused cherry sitting in it. A perfect gift for the person who invited themselves to your home while sneezing or, as with As5567's brother, with a tummy bug.

    Mig - pure genius. Maybe 'Tripe Talk'?

    Now I have eaten and no longer need to contemplate food I can finally return to this thread to comment on the tripe egg box/cherry vision. I still can't quite visualise said combo but I do think a souse of rose hip jus might lift it and neatly combine the flavours...off to experiment with tripe scratching a which are surely different to the dried (unwashed) tripe adored by my late dog.

    Apparently Mr P Williams has been working on a revised version of his mega (and very sing-a-long-able-to) hit - the new version is called 'Tripy' and it goes like this:

    It might seem crazy what I'm about to say
    Sunshine she's here so you can take a break
    I'm a hot air balloon full of tripe that could go to space
    With the air I like, I don't care baby, by the way

    'Cos I'm happy

    Clap along if you feel like eating some tripe that's over-ripe

    'Cos I'm happy

    Clap along if you feel like that tripe is all the truth

    'Cos I'm happy

    Clap along if you know what a life with tripe is to you

    'Cos I'm happy

    Clap along if you feel like that's what you want to do.

    Needless to say I have made some changes to the original. :wink:

    My personal favourite is 'Cherry Tripe', a variation of the hit by C.E. Horn:

    OK, look what you've started now :roll:

    Tripe Way

    And now, the tripe is near;
    And so I face the white tripe curtain.
    My bloods will all be clear,
    I'll be med-free. Of that I'm certain.

    I've lived a life that's full
    of pain on each medical highway;
    And still, arthritis laughed,
    “You did it my way.”

    Meds, I've had the lot;
    NSAIDS and DMARDS, not to mention.
    The anti-tnfs
    I stabbed myself without exception.

    I gulped them down and shoved them up;
    And limped along the Arthritis Highway,
    And still, the RA mocked
    “You did it my way.”

    Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
    When I bit off more than I could chew.
    The snake oil, herbs and vits - I'd doubt,
    but I ate them up and spewed them out.
    I tried the lot; swallowed the blurbs
    The never-say-die way.

    I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
    I've had my fill; my share of losing.
    And now that tripe's arrived,
    I try to find it all amusing.

    To think I did all that;
    And still achieved (in wobbly my way),
    "But now, salvation's here,
    I'm into Tripe way.

    For what is tripe what has it got?
    What can it cure? It cures the lot.
    We'll walk and run with no more pain
    and then we'll jump and run again
    Our survey shows
    Arthritis goes.
    Do it the Tripe way.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Get in Sticky! That has to be the best re-worked song ever done on here, I am determined to learn every single word and then hit a karaoke club.

    Nice one, thersak. :wink:
