I've never used cow sinew but it should work. Folks that have use it say it is very greasy and hard to seperate.

I just had some a few days ago in some Thai beef soup.  Kind of like jello but a little more firm.  Not  tough, though.  Very good.

Wolfsire, beef flavored hide glue.  ;)  I'd bet it was good. Was it Thai hot? :o

Well, I love Thai food, but I wouldn't try to eat sinew!
Actually had some cow sinew collected and gave it to my landlord for his dog the other day...

BTW. I hear totally controvers saying about ostrich sinew; what do you guys think of ostrich sinew??

Cow akille sinew is for dogfood and as already sayed - itīs "very" greasy and short in length but works fine as a backing (2 - 3 layer as minimum). Ostrich sinew is some of the very best you can get - long and strong!

It was hot as  >:D

I ordered at 10 on 1-10, cuz I'm a chili head, but watching the carbs i went without out rice.  But they had counted on the rice in measuring the heat, so it was much hotter than I expected.  My eyeballs were sweating! :o

It might not have been sinew, but that is what it said on the menu.  When I looked at it, I though that it might look like slicing of the casing, rather than the inner fibers, but I don't know.
