Menudo..?

[mapsedge]

According to Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern last night (Discovery Channel), "menudo" is a stew made of beef entrails, specifically the inner lining of the stomach and bits of heart.

As a child of the 80's, that answers some questions for me.

That makes sense, tho. Small change=small bits of stuff most people consider worthless, like tripe and beef heart. Nothing in menudo is really prime stuff, but put together with the right seasonings, it's quite edible, especially if you don't have much else to eat!
