    The Seagrove Sessions: Episode 40. Talking a load of tripe.. and other food!
    Dec 20 2025

    We begin with the subject of tripe and offal. Do we like it? Do we hate it? Its an episode all about food. How to make it last or eek it out in times gone by. Mince and tatties, pots of soup and stovies for tea. Thanks to Jinty, Anna , Nessie, Barbara, May and Colin for more great memories.
