Tonights dinner top trumps

Something out of a mohel's dustbin?

 

 

I was thinking the same Steve, but do you get Jewish Raccoons?

Funny you should say that. I used the same image on another site as evidence that I had converted to Judaism. Alas it is not a prepuce nor an anus. I'll let you all have one more guess then I'll tell you all what it is.

Is it part of the GI tract?

Traditionally yes, but this one may be synthetic.

So a casing for a sausage or similar?

I used to do a bit of work for one of the leading natural sausage casing companies, and in my time there, I never saw anything that looked like that.

Except maybe on a fresh bulls pizzle, when I went to the slaughter house.

Trying to think of what used to be guts but is now sometimes synthetic, and I can only think of things like cases for sausages, haggis, etc.

Spot on. I had a MacSweens Haggis for dinner a couple of weeks ago. When I sliced the skin open a bit of it shrivelled up into what you see in the image. I thought it looked like a foreskin so I snapped it with my phone before it went in the bin.

I had some good chicken stock from cooking a chicken in the slow cooker, so I put it back in the slow cooker and cooked some belly pork in it with star anise, dried chilli, root ginger, soy sauce, white wine vinegar and sugar. After about four hours I added some spring onion, shiitake mushroom, tinned water chestnuts and bamboo shoots and some thick noodles. Left it another hour and ate it. It was good.
