Swell up your hands and feet???

Well I guess you just cured me of my desire to go out and buy some bacon today, for REAL

ZombieKitten said:

thanks!
And they put stuff like maple syrup in bacon. The stuff is actually gross by itself.

Ottensen said:

Yup..yup. It will do that quite quickly. It takes a day or so without eating it for things to go back to normal. You can't eat this shit too much.

PurpleJedi said:

OH yes..with some fresh beans and tortillas!!!

NDRU said:

And when have you stuck your tongue in a pig's ass???

ArielB said:

you forget our last encounter, dear?

MoniGram said:

I like all of that but with a little bit of cottage cheese added to it. Mmmmm...

Moonstar319 said:

What do YOU consider "menudo"?
To me, it's ground beef with potatoes & olives.
...or is that "ropa vieja"???

MoniGram said:

There's a typical Honduran dish of "Yucca con Chicharrón" that includes "repollo" (that's a dill cabbage slaw to you anglos") that I've been craving for the past 20 years!!!!

PurpleJedi said:

My consideration of menudo is a soup w/ tripe and white hominy.At least that's what my mama says it is when she makes it and mi abuelita when she made it and how it comes when we order it from restaurants. Mmmm... Menudo con cilantro, cebolla y limon! Oh! And a corn tortilla w/ butter to dunk. Mmmm... My favorite winter and hangover food.

What's ropa vieja?

Moonstar319 said:

To me, (and the rest of Honduras) tripe is "Mondongo".
To my wife, (and the rest of Puerto Rico) tripe is "Pansa".

Ropa Vieja, to me, is this;

Shredded beef gizado.

...damn...I'm hungry now.

best website ever.

I started this thread because I was being a total fat azz and blowing my points by eating that damn crack/bacon all day.

Now we have gone on a Latin American dish recipe swap, to a husband analysis, to a pigs ass.

And I'm still a fat ass for eating all that SHIT!

KatSkrizzle said:

You see? Bacon brings out the best AND the worst in all of us!

PurpleJedi said:

Ahhhh... that makes sense. I think Mondongo sopa has more ingredients than menudo. When the tripe is in the soup, it's menudo. I think when it's on it's own, it's tripas. I'm not sure. My background is native american/mexican so that's our version. Filipinos call it the same as the Mexicans too. We call the tripe in the menudo the pansitas. hehe

That ropa vieja looks pretty tasty and it's my dinnertime! All this talk of food has got me HUNGRY!!!!! hehehe

i rarely ever do bacon. It's way too bad for you and too salty. I can feel my blood pressure going up as i put a slice in my mouth.

I'll admit it. I once ate a pound of Bacon.

It takes so long to cook, I'd munch on what was done while I was cooking more, then before I knew it, I had no more bacon.

That was a good day.

Once you cook it, it goes from being a pound to a quarter pound anyways.

You remember the story about the guy who was like 106 years old? He was asked what his diet was, his secret to longevity?

He ate bread fried in fatback and a quart of wine every day.

PurpleJedi said:

Can I please come to your house for dinner

Mars23 said:

good grief, that sounds like someone from my grandmother's generation

Ottensen said:

I think I remember something like that. He was on the Italian country side and he basically ate bread, cheese, and wine. And it was all produced on his farm, so he ate his own veggies n stuff too.


I have been seriously working out twice daily since this bacon accident.

Ottensen said:

Sure! Come on over!
My wife doesn't make THAT, but her arroz-con-gandules is to die for.

Mars23 said:

That sounds good!

PurpleJedi said:

May I come too??? I'll bring homemade tortillas!!!!

The other night, my extended family had its semi-weekly get together, and somehow the topic of bacon came up. I mentioned to my mom that I never really liked bacon all that much. I'll eat it, but it's not something I seek out.

She said, "Oh, you always were our sausage boy."


I didn't say anything. But I was cracking up on the inside.
