menudo is heaven on earth when done right. Key things is to get rid of the smell by using the right spices and procedures like put in a head of garlic when it is boiled for a couple hours ( im still searching for all the secrets here about menudo - theres all sorts of versions on how to do this; I know restaurants have it down pat ) A friend I just met told me he is a cook and it's all about the spices used in preparing and cooking the tripe. but he didnt give me a recipe. he was busy being a cashier at the moment.

I live in New Jersey and most stores don't carry tripe.The last time I found it was when I lived in New York. That was over 25 years ago and loved it in scotch broth soup. I am going to try to find it today in a new Spanish - Mexican market.

In reply to Kirby!. In the southern US...we boil it until tender, cut it up, dip in milk and egg, then roll it in flour and fry. Delicious!

In South Africa we eat tripe. The african folk call green tripe strong tripe.
I do not enjoy it. It is popular in a good curry sauce also using a lot of onions and some garlic. Cook in a pressure cooker for about an hour. Cut the tripe into 1 inch strips. Then when soft drain the liquid and add cornstarch to thicken it. Once thick stir it back into the tripe. withwith boiled rice

It's a fantastic thing to add to beef stew, actually more soup than stew. Try it with some fattier cuts of meet and a tendon and stew up some awesome beef soup. =)

I've had tripe in my Pho before but, must admit, I couldn't "stomach" it! (ok, horrible pun!) :) On the other hand, my friend orders extra tripe in his Pho!

I've always been curious about tripe... I see it whenever I stop by the Jons in my neighborhood, but it just looks too crazy to buy!! Maybe I should give it a try... I've heard menudo is so tasty...

I'm with Gazel...whatever happened to at least *trying* to use the whole animal? Sheesh.

That said, I always order it out of my Pho. I always knew what it was, but I think I owe tripe a try.
