As long as they’re not the reason you’re a vegetarian…
What I mean is that it would be sad if you limited yourself purely because of an encounter with one single dish that didn’t agree with you. And I’m saying this as a vegetarian myself. There is nothing wrong with vegetarianism, it’s just not for everyone.
Having said that I think serving rocky mountain oysters to someone unaware of the nature of the dish should be punishable by law…
I worked in a couple of pizza stores. And everyone who ever had to handle anchovies always washed their hands immediately afterwards, because anchovies stink.
Dunno if you’ve ever smelled chitlin’s / “chitterlings” (deep fried pig intestine) but they literally smell like shit. Since menudo ain’t too far off being sheep/goat intestine stew, I would imagine they would smell the same. And then when you cook stuff for a long time the smell lingers everywhere.
Actually, the few times I was lucky enough to have menudo I remember it smelling great. Lots of spices were used, so I doubt there was any way of smelling the individual ingredients. Plus my allergies tend to deaden my sense of smell…
.. I’m a bit scared to ask. XD
It’s got tripe (intestine, I think)
Just like sausage casings!
Tripe is tongue. Usually cow tongue, to be specific.
Tripe is not tongue, it is the lining of the stomach. It can be gathered from any animal, as a food source it’s taken from any farm animal.
Do you expect us to just accept that tripe?!?
It’s delicious. almost as good as rocky mountain oysters. if someone offers those to you eat it BEFORE you ask what it is, they’re delicious trust me.
I know what those are, and they make me glad to be vegetarian… 😐

It’s almost never a good idea to ask what a dish is that’s being served to you, generally because they will most likely tell you! 😱

i’m glad of all the things my step-grandfather passed to me through my mother, menudo was not one of them, now that i know the non-band version
Now that I know what menudo is (thx wiki), I have to wonder why you would name a band that.
Because of the cultural significance, stuff Grandma would cook up.
