While I don't think I'll have the time to 'kill off a young steer' anytime soon, I really enjoy your recipe backgrounds. Thanks!


I didn't name it LOL


I must say my eyes bugged out when I saw the title of this recipe. Then I was intrigued. I found the story behind it fascinating. I have a book written by Bret Harte called Gold Rush filled with short stories such as "The Outcasts of Poker Flat" and "The Luck of Roaring Camp" and so on. It's about life of miners and pistol packing preachers and iron willed women. This is what this recipe reminded me of. Thanks for the chuckle JoyMarie.


I must say the recipe title made me do a double take... more so because it was yours..LOL... love the back ground info...


Don't think I could eat everything in this but love the history. Thanks M.


LOL! IM FROM LOUISIANA AND LOVE HOT SAUCE BUT DONT THINK I COULD EAT IT OVER THIS! LOVE THE HISTORY LESSON THOUGH! THANKS!


Foxes will eat just about anything. If you cook it I will eat it. Might want to let it sit out in the hot sun about 2 weeks to mellow out before chowing down. Your creative. Later-----Nosey :)


Back then nothing was wasted!!!!!!!!! I asked hubby if he knew what sweetbread was and he had no idea (he,he).
