Brain's have got progressively worse over the years, to the point that I no longer buy them. Unfortunately, that means I haven't had them for ages, as nobody round here makes them. Google won't let me put their traditional name in a comment...
These look amazing, my old mum made these using heart and liver. really nice. Just a quick word, we are loving the chicken with the slits in crossways, I have made it twice now since you showed it, second time I didn't have any white wine vinegar so I used some regular red wine and it was really lovely so another new meal the family love thanks once again my lovely couple Maggie xxxx
Definitely trying this. I wouldn't call it a totally British meatball because offal wrapped in caul is a dish made all over Europe. But the sage and onion definitely makes this recipe ours.
A good heart these days is hard to find.........(It's a song/song title if you are old enough!). I love liver and kidney's. They are super healthy foods too brimming with natural vitamins. As usual you cooking looks amazing, nearly as good as a bloke I watch on UA-cam who cooks in a very similar kitchen.....
Wow those look fantastic mand iv never made my own just had the mr brains ones which I love but I used to get savoury ducks from the butchers which I think are a similar thing maybe abit more spiced ? Thank you for this recipe I will be trying it can you use pork mince instead of chop ? Amanda xx
Never seen them made before, very interesting. Great to see cheaper cuts being used Amanda. We are all a bit Wagu happy for my liking! It has it's place but cheaper cuts have stood the test of time.
Hi ya thankyou I can get you're ingredients here in Australia in England mum used the pigs liver and heart I make mushie peas . I'm so grateful for you sweetheart. Guess who's making some Saturday. Karen and family in Australia ❤️🐨🦘🇭🇲
Manda, I’m afraid that this is one recipe that I won’t be having a go at repeating. I simply can’t bide kidney’s at all. I once took my parents out for the day and when they were ready to eat we decided to try a new place for us which was a road side farmhouse. On the board outside they had listed various pies including a steak pie, which I fancied so we placed our order, steak for me mum asked for chicken pie and dad decided on gammon and eggs. As soon as the plates hit the table I could smell the kidney in the steam coming off the plates and I spoke to the waitress and said that I had asked for steak pie not steak and kidney and she said that it was just steak so I said fetch the cook, which was the farmers wife, who swore blind that there was no kidney. In reply I lifted the top of the pie off and stuck my fork into the thickest part of the pie and pulled out two pieces of kidney and said eat that and tell me there’s no kidney in it. She flushed them said that was the last serving of the pie left and nobody else had said anything about kidney. I stood up and walked to the serving hatch and quickly scanned the kitchen and right infront of me was a printed box that said Steak and Kidney. It wasn’t even as advertised homemade pie but commercially made S&K pie so I turned to parents and said we are leaving for all that they had been demolishing their meals and the silly woman said “ you have to pay for your meals “ to which I retorted No way, do you want to see what you’re local council have to say. And we walked out past her and her only response was to say You are banned, never come back here!By this point I looked back at her and just said “Really?” and walked out and got in the car and drove off and never heard anything else about it. About 4 months later we passed the same place and there were no signs or menu’s outside except for an estate agents for sale sign.
I’m so sorry Amanda love but I shall not be making this one. All I can think of is the day when I walked into my nannas house and asked her what that horrible smell was and she very causally told me that it was just my grandas heart and liver cooking in the oven. They never rowed or anything that I knew of but I honestly thought that she had killed him. I was horrified 😂😂😂
gday all I would like to make a suggestion? Ian allways tastes and gives us a thumbs up when you cook. when Ian cooks can you do the same? that would be really good cheers you guys and have a great day it's going to be 38 c tomorrow lol in Adelaide
My brother does most of the cooking and wanted some ideas for old fashioned British food I suggested shop bought fagot, toad in the hole, and liver and crispy bacon with onions so far he's not done either. If it was just me at home or love to try this.
Hi Mands! I hope that both you and Ian had a great weekend? I know it's early but I have posted a Christmas card your way. xx This is a great dish... you can't beat home made meatballs with mash and vegetables. Yummy, absolutely delicious! 😊xx
Not my cup of tea. Have you heard of Oven Pie. My Mam was from New Castle and she would make it. Stewing beef, with a few Veg., light gravy (oxo cube) covered on top with a pie crust. Help me make it, if you can...thanks, from Canada
Would this originally have been done with a meat grinder? Sorry, we couldn't see you trim the kidneys... Not a fan of organ meats, myself, but interesting to see an old recipe.
Looks so yummy! I’ll give it a go! ❤😊
Proper cooking... lovely
Lovely. I would have to have mushy peas with this though
Manda my mouth is actually watering lol xx
This has been my all time favourite thing to eat, thumbs up for this recipe 👍x
they look delicious.
I always liked them with peas and chips.
Looks absolutely delicious love maggots thanks mand ❤😂🎉❤😂🎉😂🎉❤
I have always wanted to see how these are made I think after watching you I may give them a go
This looks lovely!!! Will store and definitely make!! Liver makes the most beautiful gravy xx
Definitely x
Well done Amanda on getting over 25k Well deserved 🎄❤
Thank you!! 😊 x

Looks delicious, I will definitely be making them.😋
Looks reyt good ill have to make some of them i love offal 👌👍

Lovely recipe Mandy, will be making this. I love offal, grew up with it in my diet as a child and have always loved kidneys, liver and heart ❤️
We like Mr Brains but much better to have homemade but I didn't know how. Will definitely be using your recipe. Thank you.
Brain's have got progressively worse over the years, to the point that I no longer buy them.
Unfortunately, that means I haven't had them for ages, as nobody round here makes them.

We used to have them with peas pudding, lovely.
These look amazing, my old mum made these using heart and liver. really nice. Just a quick word, we are loving the chicken with the slits in crossways, I have made it twice now since you showed it, second time I didn't have any white wine vinegar so I used some regular red wine and it was really lovely so another new meal the family love thanks once again my lovely couple Maggie xxxx
Great Maggie I'll try that x
Awesome.
Yes, wait till they are cold and squish them into a Sarnie, yum.😊
Howdy neighbours, Even though some say these are offal they are really nice- give them a go. Well done Mandy x
Thank you terry x
Ooh they look lovely.I have heard them called savoury ducks..not sure this is a regional name.Im from Nottingham 😊
Savoury duck in Scotland too
Very interesting
Interesting recip unknown to me
Really interesting! Thank you ❤😊

Know the song well x
That looks perfect do do in a slow cooker. I've no clue where to get caul fat nowadays, heart will be going in there when I make them though.
Wow those look fantastic mand iv never made my own just had the mr brains ones which I love but I used to get savoury ducks from the butchers which I think are a similar thing maybe abit more spiced ? Thank you for this recipe I will be trying it can you use pork mince instead of chop ? Amanda xx
My late mum would wrap her meat in a apron from the butcher but they looked delicious gave me back some memories ❤xx😮
i cant wait for the rabbit pie and the pork pie you mentioned in the live chat :)
Never seen them made before, very interesting.
Great to see cheaper cuts being used Amanda.
We are all a bit Wagu happy for my liking!

Bleurghh this one isn't for me Mand, but I've liked it anyway 🤣. Offal is my nemesis xx
Years since I had these , my husband doesn't,t do any offal so never bothered but I used to love them . May just do me some
never had these before my self but my parents did eat them a lot when I was growing up "It might be a northern recipe"
I'm making them as soon as possible
Grew up with these ingredients too, along with rabbit neck or crag. Usually lambs liver and pigs kidney and blood pudding. Tasty.
totally with this - except for the kidneys ( hate them ! ) also love liver and bacon
I only tried them once, but it was... unfortunate.

Me neither, but fascinating to watch though.
Looks delicious 😊 Brains sort no longer taste like they used to, so I don’t eat them anymore
gday all I would like to make a suggestion? Ian allways tastes and gives us a thumbs up when you cook. when Ian cooks can you do the same? that would be really good cheers you guys and have a great day it's going to be 38 c tomorrow lol in Adelaide
Lush❤ I love faggots and peas ❤ And just like my Mamo used to make them but with breadcrumbs and no food processor 😂. Fabulous recipe again ❤
Looks fantastic but I just can’t bring myself to try offal.
Could this be cooked in the airfryer?
Yes you could x
Just a comment..Do you not steam your veggies Mand??... xx
Yes in top of the potatoes x
My brother does most of the cooking and wanted some ideas for old fashioned British food I suggested shop bought fagot, toad in the hole, and liver and crispy bacon with onions so far he's not done either. If it was just me at home or love to try this.
Oooh, I’ll be making these, it’s the only way I can eat liver and kidney.
I couldn’t see what you did with the kidneys because your camera was pointing to the mixer x
Aah me too! The bit I needed to see! 😅
Absolutely adore faggotts. Wonderful!!😋❤
Hi Mands! I hope that both you and Ian had a great weekend? I know it's early but I have posted a Christmas card your way. xx
This is a great dish... you can't beat home made meatballs with mash and vegetables. Yummy, absolutely delicious! 😊xx
Thank you so much Paul x
My butcher gives me the caul for nothing. It just sits in the freezer until needed.
Love all the ingredients but it is probably abit to smooth for me
why no showing of the kidneys cutting
Camera mishap x
Can't see what you're cutting the camera too high
Yes i know sorry x
Not my cup of tea. Have you heard of Oven Pie. My Mam was from New Castle and she would make it. Stewing beef, with a few Veg., light gravy (oxo cube) covered on top with a pie crust. Help me make it, if you can...thanks, from Canada
I will check it out x
Sorry to complain. But I could not see what you were removing from the kidney?
I'm afraid this is a no for me as I hate kidney and liver
Would this originally have been done with a meat grinder?
Sorry, we couldn't see you trim the kidneys...
Not a fan of organ meats, myself, but interesting to see an old recipe.
