Hi all, Richo it is a very tasteless and horrible pear shaped plant that usually grew over the loo or back fence. You can still buy it. You have to smother it in a sauce or butter to get any taste. As you can guess I don't like it.

Choko was bad enough....who remember slithery tripe.

I used to literally gag.

On the positive side, we seldom bought fruit or vegetables.  If it wasn't growing in our yard we could find it in a local paddock.

Fig and mulberry trees just two of many.

I don't think anyone after my grandmother's generation liked choko...it was an acquired taste and I never acquired it.:^O

My mother used to be given a couple each season by an elderly friend.  She dutifully ate them and each year said it would be the last she accepted.:^O

I remember tripe. I was not very keen on it when I was growing up but did acquire a liking for it when I was in my 30s.  I have not seen it since our local butcher closed down and I have been getting my meat from the supermarket.

Good morning gerries.

Glad i missed out on tasting chokos.

Will take a rain check on tripe as well-lol.

The tucker i most hated as a kid was steamed on

Good Friday and other occasions.

That salty white flesh-orange skined fish

from South Africa.--geez i loathed that.

Have a great sunday .........................Richo.

smoked haddock richo?   we had that on Good Friday too, with white sauce  ...........yes it was very salty, but I didn't mind it.

morning all.........another hot day coming up...but it's summer aint it?

I remember my mother cooking tripe with onions and white sauce.  She would give it to my father, Nanna and Pop.  Lucky for us kids Mum didn't like tripe so we didn't have to eat it.

Morning all. My Husband still loves tripe in white parsley sauce and lambs fry. I will do anything, find any excuse not to have to cook them.
