Recently it was copied in this NG that Tampiquena is Flank steak

To correct the gringo mythology as copied from internet sources and badly
translated Newspapers, and other sources he failed to quote; Carne
Tampiquena,Carne a la Tampiquena, Meat in the style of Tampico is not one of
a certain cut, as translated in this NG but one of the many Carne Asado
recipe styles that abound through out all of Mexico from Campeche to
Sonora. It is no different than Polpette alla Napoletana ( Neapolitan
Meatballs ) can be made in NY or LA just as well in Naples if the similar
main ingredients can be had.

It can be any cut of Beef. Carne. Asado de Tampico is the branding of a
style in the region yet appears it is mostly meat from the top side of the
beef the Loin rather than the Bottom chest, the Plate. So Google for
recipes if you do not have cookbooks. Meantime her are a couple:

Stop it! You are losing whatever credibility you might have had by this
continuous and unending assault on forum members and others.

I don't know about the others, but I'm about to put you on my kill-file. You
are not much fun when all you can do is insult us.

Who, me? I seem to recall that you kill filed Gunner about two months
ago.

What's fair in this NG? Who gets to attack whom and get away with it?

Who gets to be the pedant and have his pedantry ignored?

Remember what I told you a few days ago about how newsgroups get
dominated by a few individuals that only want to socialize and have no
new information to add to the main topic of the group?

That's what has been going on here for the last two years. If you look
around Usenet, you'll find hundreds or thousands of newsgroups that
have gone extinct, as nobody posts anything but spam to them, after
the active participants gave up trying to share information and made
it into a chat room where the daily badinage gets archived forever.
