Now you're talking, Bruce! Except we "Texans" call it Menudo(may-nu-doe). My brother had lived a number of years in NM and W TX, and when he was dying in Meridian, MS several years ago, I took large containers over there to him with enough to share with the nurses. Then one day, I stopped at a restaurant near the hospital and found the owner's son-in-law was from the interior of Mexico and made the best menudo we'd tasted in many years. My Mother knew how to fix it and I have no idea of how/where she got the recipe, but the taste was perfect. She grew up, lived & died in mid-S MS, the area we call "The Oil Capital of the South." And no, it isn't good for a person to eat on a regular basis, but a treat ever so often. I haven't eaten any since my brother's death. BTW, I told my DS, a nurse practitioner, & his wife, a pharmacist, about this discussion and they laughed and said, "We've bought it at the Post Exchange in both MD and SC. He and wife are actually "real health-food addicts", most of the time, but eat a small can ever so often to remind themselves of their childhood. I thought that was hilarious, knowing her propensity for eating healthy. However, they don't give it to DGD. Nor do either of them eat menudo. Emily
