December 8, 201114 yr Someone I work with brought potted meat for lunch. I had never heard of it before and she thought I was crazy. What kind of meat IS potted meat??? What the crap is potted meat? Sounds as gross as goetta! :puke: Made of cow lips, chicken toes, pig snouts ... you know, the good stuff.
December 8, 201114 yr Had a tripe dish in Mexico once, it was really good and spicy but they wouldn't tell me what was in it until I tried it. Once I got used to the idea I had another bowl.
December 8, 201114 yr Made of cow lips, chicken toes, pig snouts ... you know, the good stuff. I don't care what it's made of as long as it tastes good.
December 8, 201114 yr And if you really want to know what beef tripe is, here you go: Beef tripe is usually made from only the first three chambers of a cow's stomach: the rumen (blanket/flat/smooth tripe), the reticulum (honeycomb and pocket tripe), and the omasum (book/bible/leaf tripe). Abomasum (reed) tripe is seen much less frequently, owing to its glandular tissue content. :cry:

December 8, 201114 yr If you want a gourmet potted meat treat, take a can of potted meat, mix it into a brick of cream cheese and put it on Triscuits. I'd rather eat broccoli! :ohbrother: Btw, what exactly IS potted meat? I've never seen it. Is is just like Spam?
December 8, 201114 yr Is Potted Meat a regional thing? I'm surprised that a lot of you haven't even heard of it.
December 8, 201114 yr Oh, you have GOT to be kidding! :eek: All that fat you see in there helps keep it fresh.
December 8, 201114 yr This thread should be required reading as motivation for anybody wanting to lose weight.
December 8, 201114 yr I could eat Vienna sausages regularly, lol. With crackers, great late night snack. Used to eat them all of the time. They were great with Doritos. I owe my life to them, too. They caused the attack that persuaded me to changed my eating habits. That was almost six months and 70+ lbs ago. Haven't touched them since.
December 9, 201114 yr Someone I work with brought potted meat for lunch. I had never heard of it before and she thought I was crazy. What kind of meat IS potted meat??? To paraphrase an old adage, there are two things you never want to see being made. Laws and potted meat.
