Last Sunday, during my visit to the awesome Buen Retiro Park in Madrid, I came across the Monument of the Ángel Caído (Fallen Angel), a bronze statue dedicated to #Lucifer and located 666 meters above sea level (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuente_del_%C3%81ngel_Ca%C3%ADdo). A few hours later, my stomach full with Madrid-style #tripe, #jamon serrano and baked Iberian suckling pig, I began my monthly #fast, which I've broken today, weighing 66.6kg, with 666g of pork rib.
Coincidences? I don't believe 😈
Tonight shall be Trippa alla Romana. I love tripe when it is cooked properly. Always order it at dim sum, but have never actually had this dish.
After this add some white wine and then chicken stock to stew for one hour.

“After a battle, the Aztecs would take a captured enemy warrior and make him fight until he inevitably lost and was killed. The fallen warrior’s body was then used in a stew that would be consumed by religious leaders, kings, and Aztec warriors.
Thankfully, since then, the main ingredients in pozole have changed.”

Noticed a sudden irruption of visitors to my website looking for tryophobia triggers and information about the condition. I have personal experience of this as well as what I'd suggest is the opposite effect - ASMR...
Needless to say, I've updated my blog

Clubland by Pete Brown, a popular social history of working men's clubs in the UK, relates an episode during Eartha Kitt's week long residency at Batley Variety Club, Yorkshire, in 1969, when she visited Batley market:
"Stunningly beautiful, fully made-up and wearing furs and an elaborate headscarf, she soon attracted an audience of less elaborately head-scarved housewives, and young men who had clearly left their shops and offices to gawp at her. She visited a tripe stall, because - understandably again - the American megastar whom Orson Welles once called 'the most exciting woman on earth' had never encountered tripe before. In the video, Eartha Kitt fails to completely hide her disgust at both the tripe itself, and the serving suggestion of smothering it in industrial quantities of salt and vinegar. She eats a small piece and retches just about visibly, looks as if she's about to vomit, and finally swallows. Then - unbelievably - she reaches for the salt and vinegar, hammers both, and goes in again. Somehow she recovers, says she's been singing all week, and asks her rapt audience what they like to sing themselves. A minute later, the multi-award-winning TV, movie and Broadway icon is leading the whole of Batley market in a hearty rendition of On Ilkley Moor 'Baht 'At."
You can watch from 22:30 to 26:00 in this documentary about Batley:

"Thank god you're here - the tree just fainted!"
@tripe With pleasing symmetry, this post appears in my TL immediately above one about Graham Hancock's #Netflix series, #AncientApocalypse, which is -- and I'm sorry that there's really no other way to put this -- a load of #tripe

I was lucky enough to receive my copy from @tripe free of charge, but YOU TOO can enjoy the largely probably true Forgotten Yorkshire
(and Parts of North Derbyshire and Humberside) for the near giveaway price of 99P!! The perfect Christmas gift for those who like Yorkshire, but can’t be bothered to visit.
A laugh on every page. Not sure that’s intentional but there you are. Buy it, you won’t regret it.
