tripe recipe: Menudo Mexican soup (hangover remedy)

A large saucepan (see note below)
1 calf's foot (about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds)
2 pounds honeycomb tripe
1 large onion
3 cloves garlic, peeled
6 peppercorns
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
4 quarts of water
A comal or griddle
3 large chiles anchos
A spice grinder
A large chile poblano, peeled or 2 canned, peeled green chiles
The calf's foot
1/2 cup canned hominy (1 pound) drained (see note below)
Salt as necessary
1 scant teaspoon oregano

Have the butcher cut the calf's foot into four pieces. Cut the tripe into small squares. Put them into the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Lower the flame and simmer uncovered for about 2 hours, or until the tripe and foot are just tender but not too soft. Meanwhile, toast the chilies well. Slit them open and remove the seeds and veins from the chile poblano, cut it into strips, and add to the meat while it is cooking. Remove the pieces of calf's foot from the pen, and when they are cool enough to handle, strip off the fleshy parts. Chop them roughly and return them to the pan.

Add hominy and continue cooking the menudo slowly, still uncovered, for another 2 hours.

Add salt as necessary. Sprinkle with oregano and serve (see note below).

This amount is sufficient for 7 or 8 people. It should be served in large, deep bowls with hot tortillas and small dishes of chopped chile serranos, finely chopped onion and wedges of lime for each person to help himself, along with Salsa de Tomate Verde Cruda to be eaten with tortillas.

You really dislike anything or anyone who is different than you, or who disagrees with you.

There is a word for people like you....

Mid-forties and you play the old 'I know you are, but what am I' game?

Every post of yours screams prejudice, yet you deflect as if you are then embarrassed by what your posts clearly say about your character.

There is a word for that, too.... hypocrite.

I dont have any Finn recipes
I have a recipe for a......
Mickey Finn was a notorious Chicago tavern proprietor in the city's South Loop, then as now a nest of hardened desperadoes. In 1896 Finn opened a dive named the Lone Star Saloon and Palm Garden, where he fenced stolen goods, supervised pickpockets and B-girls, and engaged in other equally sleazy enterprises.

Around 1898 Finn obtained a supply of "white stuff" that may have been chloral hydrate. He made this the basis of two knockout drinks, the "Mickey Finn Special," consisting of raw alcohol, water in which snuff had been soaked, and a dollop of white stuff; and "Number Two," beer mixed with a jolt of white plus the aforementioned snuff water. Lone Star patrons who tried either of these concoctions soon found themselves face down in the popcorn. At the end of the night they were dragged into a back room, stripped of their valuables and sometimes even their clothes, then dumped in an alley. When the victims awoke they could remember nothing.

Don't bother, Jusuh... chancre is probably too busy building a 10 foot wall around America to respond in any cognitive way beyond saying 'Everybody but Americans suck!'

EDIT - BTW chancre, I am from Missouri, about as American as you can get.

Hey, I admit that I type faster that my brain somtimes, and if you've read some of my past posts, you would have seen this. I have no shame about my character. I sometimes am ashamed for what I post, but I am quick to apologize once i realize that i have typed faster that i have thought. Character flaw...do you have any?...care to share?....
