Title : Just the Way Granny Used to Make It
Author : fredbassett
Fandom : Primeval
Rating : 12
Characters : Connor/Ryan
Disclaimer : Not mine, no money made, don’t sue.
Spoilers : None
Summary : Written for the Primeval100 challenge 404, Comfort Food
A/N : My very favourite comfort food! And Connor’s a good northern lad. Trust me, this is the only way to cook this particular delicacy.

Ryan stared dubiously at the white, quivering mass on the chopping board.

It looked vile.

He chopped it all into inch-sized cubes, and tipped it into the pan with the chopped onion and just a splash of milk, as directed.

The potatoes were easy. Hard to get that wrong.

Twenty minutes later Ryan moulded the spuds into a volcano and tipped the whiteish mess into the middle, ignoring the faint green tinge.

It still looked vile.

Tripe, onions and mashed potatoes, just the way Connor said his Gran had always made it.

Connor’s favourite when he was feeling low.

Aww, good for Ryan for attempting to making Connor's favorite, even if it looks unappetizing. I'm sure Connor will appreciate it.

Um, okay. I shouldn't have googled Tripe cuz now I'm gonna be just as sick as poor Ryan. He must really love Connor to cook that... stuff... ick... Lovely story, though.

"Greater love hath no man...." Everyone has disgusting habits & proclivities; real devotion means knowing all about your lovey's & even participating in them! /o\
(I do hope that Connor doesn't press Ryan to share his treat, though. Ryan's being a real peach, but even devotion has its limits! ;-)

Hmmm... my background is more Scottish than anything else, I've liked the (few) Scottish dishes I've tried, & I certainly like most of the ingredients. I wish I knew someone who home-made haggis & this well so I could try a bit--they aren't dishes I'd trust in a restaurant, at least not in the US! However, I may be too old to acquire a new taste; I already have a shivery dislike of all organ meats & products (except eggs & milk)....

LOL and ewww at the image of the volcano - those ingredients are one of Ryan's toughest assignments yet, but at least in a good cause

Aieeee! Drastic times clearly call for drastic solutions - I'm with Ryan on the thought of eating such a horror!

It's lovely of Ryan to make it for him!! Maybe he'll come around when he tastes it.
