Mmmm! I love tripe in all its guises. The Spanish callos a la madrilena; the Italian trippalunga fiorentina; the French Caen-style dish; the Portuguese dobrada a portuguesa and, best of all, tripas a moda do Porto, which you can only get in Oporto on Saturdays! Now I have to try that Mexican version, which probably draws on all these traditions...but where?

Awesome, this recipe is how my family makes it. As the last link points out, Mexican food can vary from state to state, and it's always depressing when I order something from a Mexican restaurant in New York or Texas and get something completely unexpected. posted by perplexed at 7:21 PM on July 15, 2002
After the fact, nothing beats pickles juice.
Sure the mere thought and the initial smell make you got all gooey inside, but dammit, it works. posted by Dagobert at 8:45 PM on July 15, 2002
Mmmm... Posole... It's definitely one of my favorite comfort foods. My family uses a little red chile and a lot of green. Maybe that's what I need to make for dinner tonight to shake this summer cold. posted by onhazier at 5:42 AM on July 16, 2002
It probably has a huge Vitamin B1 content -- better yet get a Anti-Alcohol Pill .. %60,000 percent RDA per pill, one pill per drink .. combined with lots of water youll be fine, works for me! Hand them out like candy at your next party. posted by stbalbach at 7:22 AM on July 16, 2002
