I have had Menudo which is a similar process.... and While I like the broth and even the taste of the tripe its soft texture is what gets to me. I have to pick out about half the tripe because I cant eat it... too rich.

I do LOVE Pozole.... Now that is made with pork and about the same broth as the Menudo... but its got more in it in the way of veggies. Usually homony and other available veggies. Often served with fresh chopped onions or pico degallo and cilantro Lime and Tortillas.... All arranged so you can make each bite different as you wish.

There is even a green Pozole.... and I hear someone up the coast is using that base to make Shrimp Pozole.... Oh yumm...

I dont see that as wing trimming thats feather trimming.. the pinioning thing is def wing trimming lol least to me... It's amazing how some ppl can be so very utilitarian over such stuff... pinioning, castration, branding, notching, tagging whatever it involves with bodily alterations...most stuff I get growing up with it and everything and of course experience and exposure... I dont mind doing soft tissue stuff usually but removin bones and stuff and it's alive still kinda creeps me a bit... I had looked into capon or whatever...........I dont think I could do that the involvement with the internal organs and the risk of doing it half way and all seems to out weigh my mind as something to do for processing..... I do very much admire those skills and abilities though...

Please don't mistake my clinical way of describing things as not caring. I would not do Pinioning, which is not trimming but amputation, without a great deal of thought. And I would never Pinion an adult bird.

Just like De-clawing a cat.... Its amputation of the first joint on every toe of that cat. I am horrified when ever I hear someone deciding to "de claw" but I would think hard about judging someone who did it... I may explain the process to them so they know what in fact they are doing.... I tend to suppress emotion during that discussion. It doesn't work to spew at people because they simply don't know.... its the ones who know and don't care that upset me.

Words have a lot of power and the proper use of words and phrases can empower you to no end.

Best I can do is clinically describe what is happening and reserve judgement and let their own conscience take over.

And I am speaking as a person who at age six held her moms poodle puppies while Mom Whacked off their tails with a butcher knife and a hammer. That was back in 1960. No stitches she gave the puppies back to momma dog to tend.

I searched out a breed of horse that normally has their tails docked... They leave four or five vertibre and Hopefully surgically remove the end and sew it up... But there are some Draft horse breeders that just Band the tails like you do goats or sheep... Because of that practice i have seen horses that have NO tail bone at all... infection took the rest. Thank goodness she came from a breeder that didnt do the tail docking automatically....

Castration is important and high on my list as are neutering for dogs and cats. But Castration of horses and cattle and livestock in general is a necessity. I have had one horse castrated. And would not hesitate to have goats and sheep done.... by a vet. Or someone who was very familiar with the process and needs of the animal.

Caponing is not necessary any more... Especially with the new breeds of chickens out there from Cornish Cross to the older breeds like Bresse. And with good flock management growth rate can be controlled inexpensively with using Fermented Feed.

I have never had Linquica..... Which is a form of smoke cured pork Sausage...

If you are talking about lengua.... the only tongue I have ever had was processed like corned beef....

Cooked it myself wehn I was about sixteen. But Lengua tacos are common street taco fare... and i havent had any yet. I have hat tripas tacos which is a street taco with pork intestines in it....

Had that homemade at a potluck....

soo rich sooo good I could only eat two. I need to try Cabeza as well... Brain tacos.... But again I need to try those from a place recommended by Mexicans not the local stands....

Or go to Tijuana and have them off the street vendor carts.... I have had beef tacos off them back when I went into Mexico occasionally ... OMG good.

Yeah it looks sooo easy on TV.... and I have on occasion by not "obsessing" about it flipped them quite nicely thank you... then i try it again and get the egg standing on end then the yolk breaks and another egg to add to my plate... I usually wind up with about one good well cooked egg and about three half hard half cooked solid cooked ones to consume... good think I can eat them just about any way.

so I fool my 'customers" by giving them the good ones... (customers being family)

What's this about flipping eggs? Sorry I was skimming... I start them in a cast iron pan on the stove top then I throw them under the broiler!!! Hahaha! Perfect eggs ( still taste like fried totally perfect for sandwiches and burgers )

Alaskan is famous?! Must be Sarah Pallin
