Does anybody like MENUDO, The dish (tripe soup).?

Question

I tryed it the other day at a mexican restaurant.

I was quite surprised, It's actually pretty good

with all the fixings. It tastes better than it looks.

Give it a try.

Answer 1

Delicious!!!

When it is properly prepared it is so good!! But if not... stay away from it!

Answer 2

UGH!!! I think I just puked in my mouth. Gross

Answer 3

since i'm always willing to try something at least once - i tasted it but wasn't impressed

Answer 4

I love Menudo, but I only like the one that my mom makes. It is delicious. I agree with you. It taste better than it looks.

Answer 5

I'm not a fan of Menudo, however...I LOVE Pozole, which to me is pretty close, minus the cow innards (it's made with pork).  It's not only the idea of what Menudo is made of that turns me off... I have tried it, and just didn't appreciate the taste.  If you like Menudo, then give Pozole a try next time you have the opportunity.

Answer 6

i do admire your honesty ,rick , although no one else seems to have the vague idea as to how to prepare it correctly,when menudo is cooked ,it is a long and tidious chore, thats why most of us really appreciate the so-so soup so all say , even though everyone say's it's a hangover cure it is really not ! (surprise,surprise !! ) what's actually the ( relief ) is the chile and it all depends how hot you make the soup !! ( plus the ease of lemon and soothing warm soup that coats the stomach ) anyway a good menudo with actually very few ingridients and a lot of time is the best ( its moms home cooking if you get my drift ) love and time heals -so they say !

REALLY GLAD TO HEAR YOU LIKED IT ,HOPE YOU GOT THE RECIPE FROM THE PLACE
