I work at Walmart in the meat department, and we recently got a new product: pork stomach.

None of us know how you're supposed to use it to cook with, and I was just curious.

What say ye minds of TexAgs? How do you cook pork stomach/what kind of recipes use it

Pork haggis? That's about the only thing that comes to mind.

Hagis is sheep...



this also came to mind, GTFO

let the pigs keep them!

talked to a friend today, she said as a child her abuela made tacos out of the estomago...her description was.............colorful. Senoras would find the estomago in tubs and they would pick over them until they found and smelled a good one(everyone touched them). People were poor and with enough help it was a decent meal and her Daddy said back then, they ate everything but the squeal.

It was washed and scrubbed vigorously, soaked in vinegar, drained, rinsed then boiled. Abuela said the "meat" would be tough if it wasn't boiled before cooking. Then it was cut into small pieces and fried like diced bacon, onions, peppers and spices, sometimes tomatoes were cooked at the same time to "flavor" the "meat". My friend said you had to do all that to hide the bile scent and taste...made me want to hurl.

Her Daddy said he told his Daddy when he was a grown man he would work hard and save money so he never had to be without food or eat estomago.

I'll eat damn near anything, but intestines do not make that list. Someone on the outdoors board said a few months ago that a lot of cultures have made great dishes from what was left in the gut bucket after selling the meat to the wealthy. To me it's fertilizer or hog bait.

my inlaws, heck most everyone in Fredericksburg use casings(intestines) for homemade link sausage. I learned how to clean and prepare them from some of the cleanest Germans ever born but they didn't eat them. It was a free(the pig was already dead)container for meat to be held for smoking and drying and it was pealed off and thrown away(composted). If it stuck to the sausage it was eaten but they didn't intend that to happen

When my friend finished her lesson for me, all I could think of was WHY? and her Daddy stood there and said REALLY! too much work for something that still had an off funk to it if you weren't very careful. If that pig was older, wilder that estomago was bad news.
