Kinda like the tacos de cabeza I see in LP. With choice of lengua, sesos, cacheta, or ojo. Yummy but no thanks.




US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Lengua is my favorite. Anthony Bourdain said it is the best pot roast you will ever eat. Grandpa loved it as well. Used to be inexpensive everywhere, now not so. I guess we can thank Bourdain, DEP.

Muleskinner would be scrambled eggs and brain.

We had an employee in Guadalupe, Felipe, pre appellation madness, who made the best cabeza de vaca I have ever ate. He cooked the entire head in a huge pot using a red chile base made from dried chile Californas, dried chile gujaillos and a touch of chile cascabels.

The cabeza would be simmered for 8 hours in this red chile base with onions, cumen and other goodies added. It was delicious!

Felipe is now Malagons foreman in the new Valle de Guadalupe.

Thanks for the info, I had no idea what Muleskinner style was. Since no one drives a team of mules anymore, should the term be upgraded to "Teamster Style"?




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

I would suspect that it refers to a type of salsa.

La Costena markets a style of salsa cocido that they call Arriera.

There are various recipes for creating this salsa. Some use specific types of chiles and some add the ubiquitous Magi seasoning, which seems like a Mexican version of Worchestershire sauce.

The term is arriero (a fem.). There are lots of people in Mexico and Latin America using mules/pack animals. And lots of people in usa use mules/pack animals.
Arriero is used more often to describe drivers of pack animals, not so much for drivers of wagons.
Mule skinner is usually used to describe someone driving wagon drains by mules, but can also refer to someone driving a mule pack train…

I have not had cow brain before. I have had monkey brain masala. Texture was sort of a turn off for me.
Later in life I learned that eating brains can give you some freaky diseases, so I stay away from that chit now!
