"Rueda" in Argentina
I have bought some "rueda" in Argentina -- not round steak but a kind of innard looking like intestines (chinchulines) with a very large amount of fat and a small fleshy tube. Any idea what it is? Nobody I know here has eaten it before. I can always use the fat for frying, but what on earth is this?
I have found rueda listed on cooking sites under the heading "achuras" along with the usual innards, but never a description of what it is. Ron Smyth, Buenos Aires

Hello Ron! I'm Argentinian and I can tell you that chinchulines are great! We always have them when we eat "asado".
You should pour some milk on them and let them rest for at leat an hour. This will tender them. Then you light up a fire and using a grill you cook them untill they are well done.
Then you can have them!
Good luck!
