And the Cowboys out on the Texas Range took this to their hearts using most of a
unweaned calf. From memory I think they called it Son of a Bitch Stew,
(the secret Ingredient there was Marrow Gut fiiled with part digested milk),
although I would like to think it was the Chiles that led to the name..
(Vision of cowboys squatting on haunches around the chuck wagon, tasting a spoonful
and yelling out "Son of a Bitch" after biting down on some small red or green
objects)..
With the Recipe I have, the small amount of cooking water, the cooking time, this
sounds like it would end up as more of a meat loaf than a stew..
