Tendon is the fibrous sinew that attaches muscle to bone. When we for example prep the hanger steaks it needs to be detached from the tendons and I keep all the scrap meat and tendons and use these scraps to fortify and enhance our beef stock in the process of making a sauce for beef on the menu. Basically just onion, garlic, tomato, herbs, wine sauteed along with the scraps then beef stock is added and reduced. The reduction takes a few hrs and transforms the tendons into unctuous gelatinous morsels that staff in the kitchen fight over. cheers

But that's not what vernplum was eating. I know what tendon is, I have them in my body, LOL! Also, you may not know this, but I was a massage therapist for over 10 years before I got married, so I am familar with tendons in that respect as well.

If you read the link I put in my post above, you will see that it is a Japanese dish. They call it tendon because it's a combination of tempura and donburi. Hey, I didn't know either, until karadekoolaid pointed it out. I had to google it.

That's right:

In essence, tendon — short for tempura-donburi — is a one-bowl meal of fluffy rice that's topped with a serving of fried vegetables, meat and/or seafood and is usually served with a drizzle of light soy sauce dressing.
