Wrong answer on Only Connect

[gollob]

On tonight's only connect wall the group was Lights(should have been Lites) Tripe ,Brawn and Chitterlings. The answer given was they are all offal. Except Tripe is part of the stomach and not offal and Brawn is made from pig's head meat and sometimes with ox cheek. A right awful answer.

I think you might want to check the definition of offal

[vascop]

I think YOU are wrong about the spelling of lights.

Offal

Europe



Calves' heads in a tripe shop
In some parts of Europe, scrotum, brain, chitterlings (pig's small intestine), trotters (feet), heart, head (of pigs, calves, sheep and lamb), kidney, liver, spleen, "lights" (lung), sweetbreads (thymus or pancreas), fries (testicles), tongue, snout (nose), tripe (reticulum) and maws (stomach) from various mammals are common menu items.

The spelling is definitely 'lights'.
Lights are lungs.
Offal is widely defined as 'waste meat'

'Traditional British offal dishes include brawn, (a sort of terrine that uses up the pig's head), chitterlings, (pigs' intestines that are sometimes plaited before cooking and serving), and faggots, (made with pork offal, such as liver, lungs and spleen, and wrapped in caul fat, the membrane found around internal organs)....."

I did methyl. No idea to which series you refer.

I am referring to the fact that she won the 2006 London EPT.

And I said good poker player, not great.

Offal is the innards. "The edible internal parts of an animal" (Collins Dictionary) That includes the tongue, heart and, of course, stomach.

Lites? Doesn't exist. Lite does. It's the adjective, a deliberate misspelling of 'light', applied to foods and drinks.

[Mamyalynne]

Aye
