Hi Stuart, I'm loving these eat like a local videos. Thanks for sharing. That place looked quite nice and it was good to see you enjoying those callos. I'm very adventurous when it come to food and I've tried callos on several occasions and every time I've had an almost instant reaction and been violently sick. I can only guess I'm allergic to callos. Next time I try them I will have to ask for callos con chorizo y morcilla sin callos.😂😂👍
Callos is a traditional Spanish dish, particularly popular in Madrid (Callos a la Madrileña), and is made from beef tripe, which is the lining of a cow's stomach. The dish typically includes beef tripe, chorizo, blood sausage (morcilla), and pig trotters (optional), all slow-cooked with ingredients like paprika, garlic, onions, and chickpeas. The texture of tripe, combined with the rich, savory flavors of the other ingredients, makes callos a hearty and flavorful dish. It is often enjoyed in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries, with variations depending on the region.
I remember my Grandmother making it minus the morcilla; there are so many hearty traditional dishes while different in name, are shared with African American culture especially from the South.
Seems quite a fancy place, Stuart! In living memory, tripe was a dish that could be found easily enough in London chophouses, along with jellied eels. Both were/are delicious, real workers' food. Easting tripe is like eating a mixture of macaroni and octopus; it does not have much flavour of its own and needs something savoury to go with it. There are _mesones_ and restaurants around the Plaza Santa Ana and the Plaza Mayor which do it really well.
I just love tribe. My mouth was watering all the time while watching you eat. My mom used to make (cook) sheep tribe but with a curry base (not spicy though). The curry was more for flavour and added some colour to the dish. It was normally served with white rice. This was really nice, thanks for the video.
Congratulation for the explanation and video. Although I am spaniard and have tried lot of time our popular 'callos', never had watched it as good eaten. Good profit!
Tripe is not to everyone’s liking. It used to be popular many years ago in the UK in poorer parts as it was cheap. Tripe is the lining of the stomach from cattle sheep or pig. I personally I love callos especially made the traditional way, but many restaurants just use pork as opposed to tripe. I prefer my callos to include garbanzos (chicken peas) but that’s just the way I like it.
25 years in Spain. The callos in Madrid have chickpeas. No es una sopa, cada callo se acompaña con un trozo de pan. Cuchara o tenedor y en la otra mano un trozo de pan
The sauce is usually a sofrito which contains tomato puree or guindilla paste with cooked softened onion and little cut strips of jamon curado or chopped chorizo. There are many variations of the sofrito but that's what gives callos that texture and hearty taste.
That’s a ganga! Callos aren’t my thing but it looks like you got a great meal at a fair price. Mrs Stu is going to be disappointed she didn’t tag along. Thanks for taking us along the journey Stu. I love your videos.
From Austin TX I love your videos @ UA-cam I wish I can be there with my family and have delicious Spanish Food. That is a very nice restaurant and the wine, bread etc look very enjoyable 🎉
Love these videos Stuart you've changed my mind on tripe I look forward to trying Callos next time in Madrid. To disagree with a lot of other comments we spent 5 nights in Madrid in Summer 23 my wife's neice brought us to a different restaurant each night and the quality quantity and choice of food was above excellent. Had the best roast chicken ever in a restaurant near the Prado at lunchtime.
Stu: we’re not having a meat dish. Also Stu: we’re having tripe with chorizo and blood sausage… Spoken like a true Spaniard! 😂 jokes aside, great content, keep it up. Thanks!
Although I was born in Spain I must have been very Americanized. Mama cooked some delicious Spainsh foods like Paella and tortilla, we called it Spanish omelet. I told Mama what you were eating and she made a face like yuck! She refused to even look at it. I asked her if my Aunt Carmen would eat it when she was alive and she said no. I've never tried it and simply have no desire to. I know a chef and he says I have a limited palate. I am a very picky eater but I know what I like and in the last few years I lost about 40 kgs. by doing intermittent fasting and Keto. Also, I don't like to share dishes with anyone.I grew up in New England in the USA which is known for their seafood and if it's from the water I don't like it. Mama would make fish when I was young and force us to eat it. I don't like the smell, taste, or texture of seafood. I love tenderloin steak, lomo, and chicken or turkey breast. I enjoy vegetables a lot and that is how I lost so much weight, by swearing off carbs and eating vegetables I cut up myself with chunks of medium well filet mignon. Extra virgen olive oil, apple cider vinegar, vitamin B flakes, black olives, and celtic or pink Himalayan salt. I was pre-diabetic for many years and everyone in my immediate family got it. I am so thankful to have better health and be thin for oncevin my adult life. Going on 5 years of maintaining it which is very challenging since coming to Spain. This is carbohydrate heaven! The smell of pan must be piped out to the highway. I can smell it when driving on the N332 in Gandia. I cannot seem to find a restaurant with a great tenderloin or even a grocery store so I can buy it and make it at home. I've been here since June 2023. I think the only reason I didn't get in trouble for more than 180 days is because I am technically a property owner. When my Uncle dies, I will be able to move into my apartment in Madrid. I hope I can be proficient in Spanish so I can support myself teaching English. Right now I have zero income and life is very hard. I try to fast so I don't burden my Mama. She doesn't like to eat by herself and is always complaining she wants me to eat. Eating is over rated and fasting is a healthy discipline.
Stuart, that looks delicious. That definitely goes on my list to try when I am next in Madrid. It is similar to a Mexican soup, Menudo, which can be made “claro “ or with seasonings like tomato and chile to turn it red. It is not hot chile just mildly spicy. It is served all over the Southwest. It is a traditional soup for Sunday mornings served as an antidote for hangovers. The saying is “ Menudo para los crudos”. 😂
I agree with the other comments: more videos about dining or even where to find decent cup of coffee in Madrid. I still haven't gotten used to the 'torrefacto' coffee and I'm afraid I'll never will.
Great video Stu, there's a tasty callos in Mercadona for around 5€ and enough to feed two. (It might have been the one they served you, but don't quote me on that! 😂)
Hi Stu. That meal looked fantastic, great value as well. We are back in Almeria in a couple of weeks, wonder if I’ll find this dish there? All the best, John.
❤ Love callos a la madrileña. Whenever I go to Madrid, that's my first meal. Same thing when I go to Normandy, I always have Tripes à la mode de Caen! My mother was a great cook but I daren't cook tripe for myself and none of my friends like tripe so have to go to a restaurant on my own. Sad!
@@spainspeaks you can find tin of callos a la madrileña in Alcampo. It’s Very tasty, they are not spicy. There are also them with chickpeas . Very good too.
Glad you enjoyed your meal Stuart. I’m not altogether sure about tripe, but I’d give it a try if someone else ordered it and they’d give me a taste! I think I’d prefer the Madrid version with the delicious sauce
Enjoying these menu/food vids.. breakfasts, Lunches, Wines. Having recently been in Europe, the meat prices seem a little expensive, though I am only comparing to Italy, France and Croatia. With regards Tripe (like it too), I see blackpudding was on the menu, BUT not Whitepudding. Whitepudding was new to me a month or 2 back in Belfast, Ireland. It's made of 'the other offal', Tripe. It's delicious. My surprise then is that this restaurant offers both Tripe and Blackpudding but not Whitepudding (Tripe sausage). It's even better than Blackpudding!! Anyway...Love ya work Wazza!! This food and wine stuff, it's right in my zone! Cheers. Z 😎
...looks tasty; not a fan of the texture (or lack of texture) of tripe. Dipping the bread is my fave. The guy pacing behind you is funny. Thank you Stuart.
Looks delicious Stu. I love callos and the last time I had a bowl was in a great bar/reastaurant in Palencia. A husband and wife job with the lady in the kitchen. I put my head in the kitchen to thank her because it was so good as were her home made croquetas. I think $14 euros is too steep for callos though. It's meant to be a poor man's meal.
Love your video , the last time I had a callos was in Galicia , it was fabulous and I’ve always tried to the same flavour in UK ,, somehow they don’t seem to have it. How envious am I watching you eat that . I would to know how o make callos with chickpeas , but its the sauce .
I am craving for "callos a la madrileña" now, but I never ate them. Somehow, being a child, I refused to eat it because I did not like its looks. Big mistake, I put that on my To-do list. Other typical dish in Madrid is "cocido madrileño" (it is comprised of two courses). Actually, I have to say the latter is much more common than callos. Both are more enjoyable in winter, not in our scorching summer.
I will never understand why most English speaking regions of the world have such a problem with food, or at least knowing what they are eating. sigh.... I was truly salavating over that meal !
I’ll never understand how none English speaking regions of the world are so closed to embracing alternative foods from other parts of the world. Just back from a region of Italy and although the food was fine, it would drive me crazy to be so limited to the insular choices available to the locals. And that’s Italy! Not the overrated garbage available in Spain.
@@anthonyferris8912 overrated garbage? did you somehow have your taste buds surgically removed? American Food is crap, Italian and French food cannot compare with Spanish Food.
It looks good and for 14€, that's a fair price. Italy does a very "vegetabley" tripe. I don't particularly like it. I like how I do it, the white part of one of the cows stomach, well cleaned and well cooked with lemon pieces, drained off and incorporated in a rich bechamel sauce, ground pepper with finely cut parsley. Nothing quite like it. Plain and simple. Mashed potatoes alongside. I wonder what it would be like to add cooked artichoke hearts?
Extensive menu, but the prices are not the Spain I visited during my student days in the 1960s or even when living in Germany in the 1980 and 1990s. Inflation in Spain seems terrible! No wonder the restaurant is empty. Enjoy it, knowing the Spanish, if there are no tourists around the area, it will not be open long! Any way, buen provecho, and a nice siesta after that heavy dish! Again at the end, if the quality was that good, the price was excellent for callos!
You should first try the canned cooked dish ones sold at supermarkets. They aren’t bad but, mostly saying so you know the difference or… no difference so you know they gave to you… a less than 2 euro canned dish for 14 😂.
My gran used too make tripe and it came with onions and was white….. oh my goodness it was awful but she loved it.😊I lovetosee someone enjoy their food. That v erosionounds interesting. s
Hi Stu! Just wondering do you take your partner and son to these lunch videos of yours? As well, i see that you had your security guard watching over you in the background! 😅
Think you can't beat a good menu del dia at lunchtime. Lunch time a la carte at these new style restaurants are pricey. If you are ever up around "Barthelona" area, I can give you the name of a very nice restaurant where the menu del dia is 16.90€ for 3 courses, bread, glass of wine and that menu includes callos, finalistes championat nacional de callos 2024
Enjoyed the video and it seemed like a bargain meal, but no thanks. I think that "offal" is "awful." My Mother and other relatives would occasionally make it Galician style, with garbanzo beans, potatoes and cabbage but no tomato sofrito.
Could you or anyone on the channel recommend some medium to small cities within 50 kilometers or so of metropolitan areas? I'm still trying to decide where to make my home in Spain..Dont want a place that's only alive during the tourist season ... Thanks
Could be frozen. Even it could be some pre-prepared one from a chain. Worst case, it was a canned one. Best case, they do a pot, serve for the day as long as there is left.
Stu, please do more of these meal recommendations, ive seen plenty of tapas vlogs but sometimes a proper meal is needed when eating out.
Excellent video Stuart, I enjoy watching people enjoying their food, one of life's wonderful pleasures. Take care!.

Delicious! And a bargain! We recently had grilled pig’s trotters in Girona and snails three times, different ways each time.
Never thought to poke the cheese with the dried bread. I’ll have to use this as my idea for the family haha. Thanks stu.

Isn't a pretentious but honest dish, like many wines in Spain.
Sorry Stu, one of the Spanish favourite dishes I really can't stand .
Sorry but Tripe is horrible I remember eating it because we were poor, it was a very cheap buy way back in the 50s and 60s.. Tony cuenca
Callos on its own in santa pola is €6 in cuenca a Callos 3 course meal is €12 bread and wine included.. Tony cuenca
