When selling a boat, I always work hard to avoid dealing with brokers
and advertising in "boat" publications. The best way to sell is via word
of mouth or through a lead supplied by a boat dealer or marina where you
do business.
Tripe, anyone?
I have always loved cow stomach, may I have some more?
I freakin' knew it.

Weirdo... :)

I was in shopping in a supermarket in Spain , I thought I was buying
sliced chicken breast, it ended up being tripe (they shrink wrap
everything and did not have it labeled). Talk about something with no
flavor and is a chewy as shoe leather. But when you are hunger you can
eat just about anything. I found I just needed to sprinkle more curry
on it.


I'll bet there were *lot's* of people speaking Spanish in that supermarket!

(SSSHHH! Don't tell Jimmie I said that!)

That tripe must have been well-cleaned, very often it smells really bad
when cooking.

Kinda like chittlins. Sometime I'll tell you the difference between
hand-slung and machine cleaned...




It was cleaned well, it just did not have any flavor. I think it is
like Tofu, it takes like whatever you season it with.

Not only was everyone speaking Spainish in Spain, but it isn't the
Spanglish that I am used to. I would order a common Puerto Rican, Cuban
or Mexican dish, and they would have no idea what I was talking about.
And don't get me started about what they consider Pizza.

On a positive note, I love the concept of Tapas when you order a beer.
If the bartender liked you, you got the good Tapas, if not, it was a
dish of peanuts.
