My mother made it for party snacks and they were always popular; people who have eaten them always ask what they’re made of, as they’re delicious. We called them “chicken balls”!

1 large bacon

2 cup mashed potatoes

1 teaspoon mixed herbs

1/2 teaspoon each pepper and salt

1 egg

flour for dusting

Method

1.Mince the tripe, bacon, onion and potatoes.

2.Add mixed herbs, pepper and salt.

3.Bind with the egg.

4.For a party snack, roll into balls and then in flour, and deep-fry in oil in a large pot – when they rise, they are done.
