Dear Sir

I am writing to congratulate you on a truly excellent product. I have just dined on a can of your Butcher's Tripe Mix, which I had with a portion of Oven Chips, and it was quite superb. With a bottle of Beaujolais to wash it down it felt almost like I was back in the Dordogne. At long last a British manufacturer has succeeded in doing with offal what the French have been doing with it for years. Good bless you!

I do however have one minor criticism. Why do you refer to your tripe as an 'animal derivative' on the label? Tripe is offal, nothing more, nothing less, and to call it anything else is to pretend that it is something it isn't. There is nothing wrong with offal, believe me, I've eaten tons of it, and I shall be eating even more tons of it if you keep up the standard of your wonderful Butcher's Tripe Mix. A question though. Why is there a picture of a dog on the label?


Yours faithfully
