They eat dogs in Switzerland

Ah, Kutteln - my grandfather liked those.

Mom did not approve, so we never had those.

Same for Saumagen, which grandpa also loved. Mom could never get over cleaning the inside of the stomach.

Now we know where you come from.

[rainer_d]

No, not what you think.
It’s also popular in parts of Baden Würtemberg.

Haven’t had it in decades. A filled breast of veal is probably a better choice and has less of a yuck factor.

Grandpa liked that, too. Was always on the menu on his birthday.

Tripe is readily available in restaurants in Neuchâtel.
Tripes à la Neuchâteloise is a very traditional dish here.

I used to eat tripe a lot as a kid growing up in Yorkshire, I loved it and my brother hated it.

If you’re lucky, you can find tripe even here in canton Zurich. It’s not a regular product you can always find in the general stores, but I’ve seen it a few times even at Coop. It is of course already cleaned and ready for use. We eat a soup made out of this stuff, I always liked it.

Menudo with guajillo chilis is a gorgeous dish.

Thanks, bossy baby!! This looks sooo yummy! Note to myself: menudo with chilis.
I’m also curious about Yorkshire recipes, I imagine tripe is cooked in the form of a pudding or a stew? (I love puddings and stews)
Good, we started the day perfectly: talking about food!

I’d love to agree, but if I’m going to spend a couple hours cooking something from home, pozole always wins

Pozole has a richer combination of ingredients, first flavor, 2nd flavor, easier to pair with beer or even wine.

[greenmount]

That too seems delicious. Thanks.

pozole always wins

I had it in Mazatlan one time. While I loved the flavours, I just couldn’t get past the mealy consistency of hominy…same thing with lima beans In 1977 OH and I drove a 1965 Chevy station wagon from LA to Cuernavaca, down the spine of Mexico. The way there is lined with memories of the freshest, tastiest, most honest food I’d ever eaten. The big surprises were prawn salad freshly made in Amecameca (of all places!) and the chicken gizzard-nopales stew in Cuernavaca.

@bossybaby

same thing with lima beans

How do you cook lima beans btw? I’ve compulsively bought some from the Mexican store in ZH and I have no idea what to do with it.

[bossybaby]

Use them to line pastry to blind bake. But seriously, here’s a pretty good recipe:Southern Lima Beans - Soulfully Made
