Sonofabitch stew (or son-of-a-bitch stew) was a cowboy dish of the American West. == Recipes == A beef stew, various recipes exist, and some sources say its ingredients may vary according to whatever is on hand. Most recipes involve meat and offal from a calf, though, making sonofabitch stew something of a luxury item on the trail. Alan Davidson's ''Oxford Companion to Food'' specifies meats and organs from a freshly killed unweaned calf, including the brain, heart, liver, sweetbreads, tongue, pieces of tenderloin, and an item called the "marrow gut" and lots of Louisiana hot sauce. This last item, the "marrow gut", was a key ingredient. Davidson quotes Ramon Adam's 1952 ''Come An' Get It: The Story of the Old Cowboy Cook'', which reports that this is a tube, between two of the calf's stomachs, filled with a substance resembling marrow, deemed edible only while the calf is young and still feeding on milk. This marrow-like substance was included in the stew and, according to Adams, was "what gave the stew such a delicious flavor". Davidson says this "marrow gut" probably was the passage leading to the abomasum as well as the abomasum itself (said to have a "distinctive flavour of rennin-curdled milk"). The stew also contained seasonings and sometimes onion. Frank X. Tolbert's 1962 history of chili con carne, ''A Bowl of Red'', discusses sonofabitch stew as well.〔This according to Link, Roach, and Sewell (1992). ''Eats: A Folk History of Texas Foods''. TCU Press. ISBN 0-87565-035-X〕 Tolbert suggests that the chuck wagon cooks borrowed the idea for the stew from the cooking of the Plains Indians. He also specifies a recipe that never includes onions, tomatoes, or potatoes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sonofabitch stew」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
