Where I usually shop I have noticed over the years that fewer and fewer cuts of meat are available. Now mostly just muscle meats. But there is a lot of nutrition in the other parts..

According to one story "son of a gun" refers to when sailing ships would pull into port. Ladies of the night would come on board and lay under the ship's cannons....
I enjoyed your wonderful story and wish I was there to try the stew!
Thank you, Cristina! And thank you for ther introduction to the foundation. I' never heard about them and what I've read so far has been truly interesting.
I now have an image in my head of those poor ladies under the cannons.
Wild! I guess it makes sense that the pioneers didn't waste anything. Did you have trouble finding ingredients? You must have a butcher that you are friendly with. My parents owned a number of large, heavy cast-iron pots. Now I know who we can sell (give) them to!
It was sort of a all day facinating tour through different neighborhoods where there were predominantly Peruvians and Dominicans, and Blacks. I wrapped everything in a white shopping bag so the household didn't freak out. I'd be surprise if you didn't get a stampede to your door!
You sure about the brains?
What's a stew without them?!

Imagine the sailors - probably rotten stinkin' from their sea journeys!
