Re: Favorite foods
I don't ever remember hearing anything about that. I'm sure she probably did, we all do. I doubt if it was pears though! lol

Re: Favorite foods
I don't know, Pam, didn't Lizzie claim she ate 3, or was it 4, pears in 20 minutes, while hanging out in the barn?

Re: Favorite foods
In a 1951 interview, Lizzie's second cousin, Grace Howe said:
"... When asked what foods Lizzie liked, Grace replied she could recall being at a restaurant in Boston with Lizzie where she ordered "tripe and mushrooms." "Unlike the famous mutton breakfast of 1892," the reporter wrote."
From Williams' Casebook, (p254} when she was in the hospital in 1926:
"...The nurses found her an uncooperative patient. They had difficulty keeping Lizzie, her bed, or her room in proper hospital order; she would not use a bedpan. Nor did Lizzie like hospital fare. Long ago, when imprisoned, she had had much of her food catered. This time her chauffeur brought food to the hospital daily from Laura Carr's in Providence, caterers of local renown. Orange sherbet was a favorite."
One source said she was admitted under the name Emma Borden, another said Mary Smith Borden.

Tripe? Lizzie must have had a taste for the eccentric.

Re: Favorite foods
Just looked up what tripe is. It's the stomach of cows and other animals. That is so gross!!

Re: Favorite foods
Well, all I can say is YUKE!!! How would you even go about developing a taste for something like that? Do you think having a farm would have brought her in contact with that? I was way off I thought it was fish!snokkums wrote:Just looked up what tripe is. It's the stomach of cows and other animals. That is so gross!!

Nothing like a steaming dish of tripe topped off with a bowl of orange sherbet---

Re: Favorite foods
Harry that is the best laugh out loud moment I have had in a while! That pic is great...btw I knew of a restaurant in West Bridgewater MA (now long gone) that made a big advertising deal out the the fact that they offered tripe! I guess it has a following among some of the older crowd...of course they are long gone so...

Re: Favorite foods
Is the green stuff on top a garnish or leftover cud? That looks about as inviting as haggis!

Re: Favorite foods
I don't know if having a farm would have helped her with her decesion on eating and liking tripe, but sure sounds gross to me.

Re: Favorite foods
A trip to the backyard, a la Bridget, would definitely be required after that meal.
