I had my sights set on a bowl of menudo, but lord and behold they sold out and it was still early :-(
What to do? Went to check out a Carniceria (Meat Market) close to the laundromat I always go to but they were out too! Darn, it wasn't even that late.....I have purchased menudo up until 10:30 a.m. before!
I could have probably gotten some in town but I settled for some barbacoa instead. If you have never tasted barbacoa...you have no idea what you are missing. I know this picture does not do it justice and it might even make it less appealing but trust me...it tastes delicious. I cooked me a scrambled egg, chopped some onions, jalapenos and cilantro...warmed up some corn tortillas and had me a scrumptious breakfast. :D
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
Was the Barbacoa from beef, goat or sheep? Do different shops/restaurants use different meats? I need to try some when I'm in Del Rio.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea Ed, will have to inquire at the meat market.
DeleteAbout the only food I don't like is coconut and that is because as a kid I was not allowed to have for medical reasons. So I learned to detect the faintest hint of coconut in things and thus, taught myself not to like it.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a coconut allergy, which I'm assuming was the medical reason. However, there are probably some people that are allergic to everything that we who are not eat all the time.
DeleteDizzy, while I am not allergic to coconut...I just don't like it. I refuse to eat anything with coconut in it!
DeleteWell, NOW i'm gonna get out my frozen Mexican food dinner,,,lololol..
ReplyDeleteLol , Trouble :D
DeleteHowdy Ms B,
ReplyDeleteSome say the VERY BEST BARBACOA is cabeza de vaca... I don't care what it is as long as it's got plenty of 'heat' to it... Around here, with all of the wild hawgs, I think all of the TEX-MEX is pork... FREE MEAT... If I was in better health I'd be out there with'em...... None on my ranch, but a bunch across the hiway....
I surely do hope you find some MENUDO, boy, I like menudo..... Up here they only make it on Saturday, to calm hangovers !!! hee hee hee and it's gone by 10am.
(spell-checker don't like Mexican words)
Eating barbacoa is having a HAPPY DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!
Howdy Mr. Butterbean :)
DeleteYeap cabeza de vaca is the best and as far as I know the only one I have ever tasted...though you never know...jajajaja!
Mom does not like menudo, says it is only for drunks trying to get over their hangovers. Told her then there were a lot of drunks because people love the stuff and they always run out :D
Thank you for dropping by and leaving me a comment.
