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.


The worst pizza I've ever had was in Italy. Even the Turks in Germany made
better pizza than the Italians. The best, for the money, is at Costco!
