In Calvados (next department up from me) their regional speciality is an "Andouillette De Vire"....
....and no, have never tried it, nor would want to....though am partial to an occasional glass of Calvados...

That got me thinking.... my mum used to eat tripe with vinegar, but I don't think I've ever succumbed to it's charms. United Cattle Products shops and cafes used to be quite commonplace in the Northwest, but I can't recall seeing them in years, but, it appears, there is a Tripe Marketing Board which carries a list of where to buy tripe. There list shows predominantly northern sellers; the southernmost being Whitstable - Well, I suppose if you'll eat oysters then.....
London seems to be missing from their list also, but I suppose they've go jellied eels to contend with.
I think that's everyone suitably offended so I'll get me coat!

OK, I decided to expand the positronic matrix to find what´s not so funny about this humour.
Found a " definition "
Think of your favorite joke. Now remove the clever punchline. Congratulations — you've just written an anti-joke.
This deliberately unfunny humor upends the standard joke structure with its jarring straight-forwardness, non sequiturs or nonsensical nature. And yet, somehow, the saddest anti-jokes are more gut-busting than any standard knock-knock gag.

Still think it is a load of
Obviously not English humour as the spelling is incorrect!
