We used to make this when I was a kid:

I think this is pretty close to the recipe:

Mmmm, that sounds tasty. Still the best ingredient ever IMHO is in "Potted Meat Food Product":

"Partially Defatted Cooked Beef Fatty Tissue"

Yum, yum!

Check the "sodium" on the label too.

How bad can it taste with that much salt?

It's the milk gravy that makes it special.
Really, you guys make it seem like you've never eaten this.

Hey, at least you wouldn't have to share it on the pad.
But if you dropped it, the Hazmat Squad would have to be called in to avoid another Cal-Osha bust for the Ditch.

How would you like to work at that factory?

Still against illegal labor?

Sure, I come to work with a massive hangover every monday to the pork brain place.
Frequently.

Once, at the end of a 4 month stay in Khumbu (with a piddly 5 day climb in the middle – my typical and preferred gig), my bestest buddy Anoli and his wife Kama make me a special going away dinner.

It was a variation on Kama’s most excellent soup/stew that typically was vegetarian – all manner of potatoes, wads of garlic, limp chard from Namche, and enough of the local high test chilis to make one stand up, gasp, then salute. In all, truly outstanding.

Only this special version had a few bits of meat boiled into it. Tastes the same as the excellent vegetarian variant, but I recognize that yak meat is expensive and that they have dug deep into their limited finances to get some. (funny how every other Friday – the day before the Saturday market in Namche, a yak accidentally falls off a cliff… these folks are Buddhists after all. They won’t kill, but they will eat most anything that falls off a cliff. Ah, another story for another time).

So I suck up many, many servings of this excellent soup served over rice. I hardly noticed the few random pieces of meat. But at the end of the meal, I thank them both in my toddler nepali for the kind gift of the yak meat in the soup.

At this, Kama says “hoina yak, curcur.” (my lame transliteration – but all such transliterations are lame)

Even I know what this means, “Not yak, dog.”

In that moment I realized that I had unwittingly become a cannibal.

sheesh…

If you're thinking along those lines Tami, and I was as well, then the answer is:
