My kids would love it if I gave them job with a video camera. They would record anything, including guts. My husband would do it too with only a small amout of grousing about "having better things to do".
We are all just such a visceral family.
When I first bought tripe, I was prepared for some overwhelming stink (I'd heard all the stories)--but I don't find it all that intolerable. It's a definite "eau de barnyard"--but there are lots worse smells in the world.
I use both the Xkaliber and regular tripe from greentripe.com. I have to say the regular tripe smells 10x worse than the xkaliber blend. I try to mix it up for them and they don't seem to have a preference. We call them stink rolls.
XKALIBER: Green Tripe, Muscle Meat, Heart, Tongue, Trachea/Gullet and Ground Bone
It's purpleish with some maroon and white. There used to be oxtail in it but I guess it's gone up in price or something.
I'll take a picture of it the next time I thaw out a roll if y'all like. I had one but have since deleted it. Took some pics of raw trachea (looks like a lobster tail in the pic), a raw gullet and the blends. I was grossing out my friends who don't have pets.
Tripe can be different colors. Usually green, brown, olive drab, or kinda' grayish.
I've found that what they ate affects color some.
This video REALLY sucks. For some reason, I cannot for the life of me find someone to go with me to hold the camera on "tripe day". I apologize and will get better.:wink:
Ok, that looks like it stinks - bad! Tell me you were a mouth breather.
You bet your ace I was mouth breathing. If you listen closely, past the splashing and gurgling, you can hear me doing a little "Darth Vader" in the background.
Its amazing how much smell one good freeze knocks off the tripe. Anybody know why that is?
