    A guy from youtube asked me to make a instructional cookin video for him so I did. The video is not for the faint hearted or dial-up'ers..Heavy bandwidth..... I only make these like once a year at the most. Not my favorite dish.. These turned out killer though...

    surfinsapo,

    Thanks for posting the link to the vid, which I found very informative. I don't think I've ever seen tripas being made, and though it's maybe unlikely I will ever follow this recipe, it was fascintating to see this guy's (your?) technique (I like the dog in the background, too -- a tripas fan, I assume). This is the kind of chow you'd never see being made on the Food Channel -- fine documentation, full of helpful tips, and real.

    My favorite quotes:

    "When you make it picoso, you don't have to worry about people eating all your food."

    [to a stray tripa}: "Get out of the oil, dumb ass."

    "Trick #1: Bacon"

    While I found the video interesting, I don't think I will be making tripas myself anytime soon.

    They sell tacos de tripas at El Pueblito in RP (I don't know if the other locations do also). They are actually not that bad, if you don't think about them too much. I had assumed they were pork chitlerings. Now I think they may actually be tripas de vaca. I will have to ask the next time I am there. I am not so familiar with guts that I can tell which belong to which species.

    Great video. Those tripas looked really good at the end. You should put these videos on itunes. Much better than most of the instructional cooking ones on there.

    Hi,

    I watched the German Potato Salad video, another great quote during the final assembly, "Just mix that crap in there." Fortunately the crap was onions, bacon, sauerkraut into the potatoes. :)

    My mother used to make tripe Argentine-style, but I'm darned if I remember anything about it other than seeing it raw - she used honeycomb tripe. What kind of tripe did you use?

    ....Mmm-connective tissue fried in bacon....

    I was poking around the web, and found some amusing historical tidbits on tripe at Soupsong

    Mhays,

    The "tripas" in the video, I believe, are intestine, like chitterlings.

    The honey-comb tripe your mom made was probably stomach, right?

    (PS. Pattypans are dominating garden, which is fine -- just thought you'd like to know).

    I used tripas. It's the intestines. Tripe is stomach.

    Hi,

    It is entirely possible I heard it wrong. It just sounded like a guy thing plus it made me laugh.

    What's the deal, surfinsapo write his msgs with decaying electrons or something, the e-version of disappearing ink? This is pretty frustrating...

    Sooo, you like wine and are looking for something good to read? Maybe *this* will do the trick! :)

    surfinsapo, a guy who delivered highly entertaining and instructive videos and a street-smart jungle-chef persona I greatly enjoyed, decided this was not the forum for him. Why? Draw your own conclusions. He effectively "overwrote" all his posts.

    Am I sorry to see him go? Yes.

    Was his response reasonable? I don't think so, no.

    Is what he did vandalism? I'm afraid it is, yes.

    I don't think he can come back here now.
