Gary and I saw it when we were out doing our "Sunday Dinner" shopping. We decided to bypass the "Menudo". It just cracked us up. We bought stuff to make chili instead. Glad we did now that Steve B. has informed us it is made out of some sort of intestines. It seems that wasn't advertised too clearly on the can.
I am a fan of menudo (the dish, not the band)! Nothing like fresh menudo on a Saturday morning at the local mexican restaruant! They usually only make it for Saturday. Fresh spices, hot sauce, hominy, onions, pepper, and of course tripe (intestine). I guess I enjoy it because I had all the time growing up in SoCal! Maybe I'll have it next Saturday.....of course you all know the golden rule, can't knock it until you've tried it!
I am a menudo girl. My family is of Mexican heritage. We do not have it often, but this is good stuff. I think my family held off telling me what it was for a while. We also ate beef tongue, but I drew the line at eating anything when they cooked the whole cows head.
I had never heard of it til I happened upon it in the grocery store on Sunday. I'm usually a pretty fearless eater, but I don't think I'll be trying this now that I know what is in there!
