    Here's all of last week's stuff from when Doc's main portal was down.

    Glad to see you back. I gather from talking to Dave that it was a
    problem with the html link.

    This is a soup I used to like, but have not had in ages. I wonder if
    tripe is available to most/any of us here. I certainly don't recall
    seeing it in a regular grocery store. Perhaps in an Asian market?

    I have no idea what "pot herbs" means. Also, I do not see where the 1
    bun is used.

    Title: Philadelphia Pepper Pot
    Categories: Penn dutch, Soup, Stew
    Yield: 1 servings

    2 lb Honeycomb tripe
    2 lb Tripe, plain
    1 Veal knuckle
    1 Bun
    4 md Potato
    1 lg Onion
    1 Bay leaf
    -salt
    -cayenne
    1 c Beef suet
    2 c Flour
    -water
    -salt
    -parsley, chopped
    -pot herbs

    Cook the tripe the day before using. Wash thoroughly, place in kettle
    and cover with water. Boil 8 hours. Remove the tripe. When cooled, cut
    into pieces about 1/2 inch square.

    The next day wash the veal knuckle, cover with 3 quarts of cold water
    and simmer about 3 hours, removing scum as it rises. Remove meat from
    bones and cut into small pieces. Strain the broth and return to
    kettle. Add the bay leaf and onion and simmer about 1 hour. Then add
    the potatoes, which have been cut in squares, and the pot herbs.

    Add the meat and tripe and season with salt and cayenne pepper (if
    desired).

    Make dumplings by combining the finely chopped suet, flour, salt and
    enough water to permit rolling the dough into dumplings, about the
    size of marbles. Flour well to prevent sticking and drop into the hot
    soup. Cook 10 minutes, add some chopped parsley and serve at once.

    I can get it from two places here - both butcher shops. Magro's Meats
    which slaughters on premises and Humphrey's Market. At both places it's
    a "request" order.

    Most stupormarkups, being retail generalists, do not carry tripe or much "offal" at all. It simply doesn't move out of the gondolas. And retail
    is all about what "turns over".

    I have no idea what "pot herbs" means. Also, I do not see where the 1
    bun is used.

    Title: Authentic Pepper Pot Soup
    Categories: Soups, Offal, Pork, Vegetables, Herbs
    Yield: 10 servings

    1 lb Honeycomb tripe
    5 sl Bacon; diced
    1/2 c Chopped onion
    1/2 c Chopped celery
    3 Leeks; chopped
    1 bn Fresh parsley; chopped
    2 md Bell peppers; cored, diced
    2 qt Beef stock
    1/4 ts Dried thyme
    1/2 ts Dried marjoram
    1/2 ts Ground cloves; (opt)
    1/4 ts crushed red pepper flakes
    1 Bay leaf
    1 ts Ground black pepper
    1 lg Potato; peeled, diced
    2 lg Carrots; diced
    4 tb Butter
    4 tb A-P flour

    Place the tripe or other meat that you have selected to
    use in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a
    boil, and turn off the heat. Allow the meat to cool a
    bit in the water, and then drain and rinse. Cut in 1/4"
    pieces.

    In a large heavy kettle, saute the bacon until crisp.
    Add the onion, celery, leeks, parsley, and green
    peppers; saute until tender.

    Stir in beef stock, thyme, marjoram, cloves, red pepper
    flakes, bay leaf, and black pepper. Bring the kettle to
    a boil, and turn down to a simmer. Cook, covered, until
    meat is very tender, about 2 hours.

    Add the diced potato and carrots, and cook for an
    additional 20 minutes.

    Prepare the roux by stirring the flour into the melted
    butter and cooking for a moment on the stove. When the
    soup is done to your liking, stir in the roux. Simmer,
    stirring all the while, until the soup thickens a bit.
    Correct the seasonings.

    Yield: 8 - 12 servings

    Categories: Sidedish
    Yield: 1 recipe


    You hard-boil your eggs, cut 'em in half, longwise, and then take the
    yellow and toss it out. Throw in some Hellman's mayonnaise, pickle
    juice, lemon juice, and celery salt (that's the secret). Mash all
    this up well and then stuff it back into the whites; if you want to
    be fancy, put a dash of red or black caviar on top.

    yolks. Mickler beat me by years - Burt)

    I figured that a real butcher shop might have tripe, but I have not seen
    a real butcher shop in decades -- only meat markets who get their meat
    in primal cuts wrapped in cryovac.

    BTW -- that recipe mentioned tripe and honeycomb tripe. Do you know the difference?

    I have no idea what "pot herbs" means. Also, I do not see where the 1

    Sounds decent. Thanks.

    Title: DEVILED OXTAILS
    Categories: Beef, Stew
    Yield: 4 servings

    4 lb Oxtails
    1 Onion; quartered
    1 Celery stalk
    1 Bay leaf
    1/4 c Mustard, dijon
    1/4 ts Cayenne
    4 tb Margarine; melted
    1 c Beef broth
    1 Carrot
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 c Sour cream
    2 ts Worcestershire sauce
    2 c Bread crumbs

    In a kettle, combine the oxtails, two cups water, the beef broth,
    onion, carrot, celery, salt, and bay leaf; bring to a boil and
    braise, covered, in a 350 F. oven for 2 1/2 hours. Let the oxtails
    cool in the liquid uncovered. Transfer the oxtails with a slotted
    spoon to paper towels and pat dry, and trim any excess fat.

    In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mustard, Worcester sauce,
    cayenne, salt, and pepper. Have the bread crumbs ready in a dredging
    bowl. Spread sour cream mixture over the oxtails, coating them com-
    pletely, and dredge in the bread crumbs. Drizzle the margarine over
    the oxtails arranged in one layer on a roasting pan and broil under a
    preheated broiler about four inches from the heat, turning them, for
    15 minutes or until golden brown and crusty.

    It depends on which chamber of the stomach the lining (tripe) is taken
    from. Tripe from the first chamber is "blanket or flat" tripe. The lining
    of the second chamber gives us "honeycomb" tripe. There are also tripes
    from the third and fourth chambers.

    A lot of tripe is used in the Latino soup/stew called "Menudo" which I
    don't care for because it invariably contains hominy.

    I have no idea what "pot herbs" means. Also, I do not see where the 1

    You'll not likely find ox-tail in a regular stupormarkup except by
    "special order". Humphrey's carries ox-tail - but not in the display
    cases. Just ask the meat cutter waiting on you and he'll dart into
    the big walk-in and come back with a tray full, ready to fill your
    order.

    Categories: Beef, Stew
    Yield: 4 servings


    We found ox tails in the commissary on Schofield Barracks, HI. They're
    used quite often over there for ox tail soup or stew. IIRC, I tried
    making it once and we were less than impressed. I do have the recipe in
    at least one of my Hawaiian cook books if you're interested. (G)
