Authentic ethnic eating in Detroit

Tripe is an unpleasant texture. I've tried it a few different ways and I'm not a fan. I've had decent chitterlings before but that was many moons ago. You may like tongue [[tacos at lapita's are a great way to try it) and jowl bacon. Actually jowl bacon is amazing and I see it more often at grocery stores just like I see pork belly on every menu all of a sudden.

As far as French I stopped by Angelina's to talk with the owner today and he said there's a French restaurant opening in the Whitney building. I didn't ask him to elaborate but it sounds promising.

Now if I could just find a good peking duck.

Most likely ronaldj could direct you to good peking duck. Just realized I have never cooked duck either. My Dad liked to duck hunt and the last time Mom cooked it, it smelt like rotten fish. That batch went in the garbage. I do do loads of french cooking because I love sauces of all sorts.

Sorry didn't mean to imply my folks are still with me. Dad gone 23 yrs and Mom 3. Kind of amazed at grocery prices on what was considered crap food. Pigs feet, ox tail etc comand some interesting prices. Smoked turkey parts still cheap but don't tell the retailers.

I was going to make some split pea this winter and noticed how out of hand shanks, feet, bones and every other weird pork park was priced too. People are getting wise to how to use these cuts. I was happy to get half a ham bone for $5.

And ox tails practically cost as much as steaks now.

And thanks for the D'Mongo's tip, Llama. I had forgotten about that episode.

Well there's only one tail per oxen, perhaps that explains it ...... try neck bones!
