Hmmm…. the original madrilenos recipe has ox hooves in it. I think, that’s why it’s named callos?

Callos was love at firts bite the first time I visited my husband’s Bacolod origin. Had tried several recipes since then and had pretty good success. This is very similar to the Mexican menudo soup and also what they call caldo de res. Lately, I had tweeked from just using honeycomb tripe to adding some chopped cooked beef tendons. Because of the time it takes to prep the tripe, would usually cook a big batch and portion half of it in smaller freezable containers so anytime my hubby or I get the callos craving, we can just defrost and heat and enjoy it. Never last more than a couple of weeks though.

Now, I’m craving for callos esp when I saw the photo of that spoonful with chorizo. Yum!

I love callos and actually, I like tripe very much…I am drooling over this dish now! When I make callos it takes me 3 days! Although the 3rd day is just to make it “rest” :)

Cool. Just had callos I made over the weekend for lunch. I will try cooking it with the bread crumb topping and cheese next time. Great idea!

I love callos!
The slow-cooked kind is best, of course, but any shortcut that keeps the wonderful flavor works for me :)
I’ve been bugging my mom to teach me how to cook the family recipe (really old-school stuff, she even remembers they used to tenderize the tripe at barely simmering). She said she will – when I get around to coming home for more than a weekend visit.

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word callos is kalyo (sa paa!). It is for that reason that I have never tried eating callos!

Curious if they served this in Malolos on June 12, 1898, though I think they served French food then.

Had a good laugh over that boiled-“kalyo” bit. Am not partial to callos but still was a good read for me :)
