Shit Chinese People Eat: Beef Junk

The only things we can't eat from the air, land, and sea
are planes, cars, and boats.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another delicious dim sum dish is "beef junk" or beef mix, but I like junk more so we'll just call it beef junk.

Yes, green onions are meant to make this look appetizing

Within beef junk, you get a trio of goodies which are from top to bottom: beef tendon, beef tripe from the cow's second stomach chamber (reticulum or honeycomb), and more beef tripe from the cow's first stomach chamber (rumen or smooth).

I like to otherwise call them tough shit, white shit, and fluffy shit

Beef tripe from the cow's third stomach chamber, called omasum or bible, is more easily found in Vietnamese pho, which we'll get to at another date.

PS Breakfast Sausages — Most commercially produced sausages in the United States contain pork and beef tripe as filler (Wikipedia for the win).

Bet you won't look at another sausage the same way again! =D
