Tripe - the inside of an animal's stomach...

Does anyone else eat this?

Sure. Tripe is the main ingredient in menudo (along with hominy, chili peppers and assorted spices). It's supposed to be a good cure for hangovers.

A cure for hangover? Didn't know that! :D Do you eat it? I love it (if curried), which means I'll probably love menudo... :D

Yes, all the time-- whenever I have a hangover. :lol: Actually, menudo is a must for all Mexican family gatherings... served with tortillas of course!

Here's a simple and delicious little recipe for all you non-carnivores.

    Grilled Tofu Quesadillas

    1 package tofu
    1 package flour tortillas
    2 medium onions, sliced thin
    Monterey jack cheese, shredded
    2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
    Guacamole (for garnish)
    Salsa (for garnish)

    Grill tofu on a barbecue grill or in a skillet until brown and crisp. Slice into thin pieces. Sauté onions in a little olive oil until caramelized. Warm tortillas on both sides in a large skillet. Layer pieces of tofu, onions, cheese and sliced tomatoes on half of the tortilla. Fold over the other half. Heat on both sides until brown and crisp.

    Cut into wedges.

    Serve with your favorite salsa and fresh made guacamole.

Here people are divided into two groups... those who LOVE tripe, and those who HATE tripe... nobody inbetween... :lol:

I must say, if I didn't grow up with it, I probably wouldn't have tried it either! :) I know a lot of people who have never eaten it, and finds the idea disgusting! :lol:

Tripe doesn't seem so bad when you think of other delicacies in Mexican cuisine, like, say... seso or criadillas. :puke:

No...it's not chocolate... ;-P

Dinuguan - "Blood stew." It's made of pig's entrails, cartilage, and pork. The brown soup is pig's blood. I like it best with vinegar and green peppers. Yummyummyummyyumyum...

I don't doubt that it's yummy. It sounds no worse than morcilla, moronga (rellena), black pudding, blutworst, boudin noir or whatever blood sausage is called around the world.

Ah, you're right. It's not as delicious as sucking the life's blood out of a man, but it suffices ;-P

I'm really looking forward to the grape harvest in California -- so many varieties, for such a long time. I've been eating Concord grapes for the past week -- such an intense flavor! And the grapes I've had recently don't even have really sour skins, like I'm used to with Concord grapes.

Now... at the party to celebrate the fact that nothing can get Langcafé down... who will bring what to eat and to drink?
