Bizarre Foods From the Past

Tripe is the name of the meat. Unless it is cooked with great care, it can be very rubbery. Probably not a good dish to eat in a restaurant, unless you have a couple of hours to spare while it is freshly cooked.

High Blood Pressure

 

Having now read your reply, you already seem to have the answer.
Heart functions are powered by 3 chemicals in the blood that activate nodes as in a simple battery.
They are Calcium, Potassium and Sodium, the last of which western society overdoses on in the form of Sodium Chloride, (common salt)
Low sodium salt (Magnesium Chloride) will help with cooking and food seasoning.
LOW potassium is also a major problem that can be resolved by eating potassium rich vegetables. However never take any supplements without checking with her doctor.
Even then, it is VITAL not to exceed the prescribed dose, since an excess of potassium WILL cause immediate heart failure once it enters the bloodstream.

There's something about the name "meatloaf" that's always turned me off, that, and the fact it always looks like it's been scooped out of a catfood tin.

 

Nanna used to make her own mint jelly like that.
