So i found somthing i dont enjoy eating today at all. Theres not alot of stuff i dont like to eat but this was one of them. Im pretty adventurous when it comes to food but eventually this is bound to happen if you try things that youve never had before. So ive heard alot about menudo, all good stuff, but ive never tried it before. I wasnt very hungry so i figured that soup would be perfect...wrong;) i was at a mexican restaurant and as we all know you always get way more food than you need at mexican places. This bowl of soup was so big that i could have never finnished its contents even if it was good, which it wasnt. The red broth that was really gelatenous was pretty good actually but the honeycomb tripe wasnt. And there was sooo much of it! Id say 7/8ths of the bowl was tripe. There also wasnt anything else in it besides tripe and broth. It came with a couple corn tortillas and some parsly and onions and chillies on the side but seriously this was just a big bowl of guts that tasted awful no matter how many limes you squeezed in there. I even caught the employees watching me eat it to see how i was doing. When i ordered she looked at me like i had three eyes and said oh no, thats stomach lol I said hell ya, ill take it :) I force fed myself over half the bowl but the guys just kept coming, i was hoping the bottom was coming soon but it never did. To save face i got the rest to go so i can feed it to my dog but i dont know if hell even enjoy it. Ive eaten tripe before in pho but at least theres other stuff in there to mix it up a bit, i couldnt believe this was just a pile of guts, anyway the taste is still on my face and tongue and i cant get it out of my mouth, poor dog lol look how big the chunks are too, thats a big ass spoon. Gross! :):):)

Oh my Dr., there was just a...well musky, old grass taste to it that i didnt like. Ive enjoyed it in a bowl of Pho though. It ws the size of the chunks and the amount of them that turned me off. Like i said it would have been easier if there was more stuff in the bowl besides stomach and broth. Hows it done over there? Whats it all come with? :):):)

Lmao ninja, nightmare!

Reminds me of a time I went for dim sum and ordered or thought is ordered 5spiced honey comb. Right next to it on the little order slip was tripe. But hey I thought looks a bit soft for honeycomb but ill give it a go..... :spew:

Ill eat haggis no prob but intestine is just nasty, however you dress it up.

Real Chinese on the table opposite were chowing down on chicken feet. I was speechless. Chickens rut about in crap all day ffs and its hardly like there's a mountain of flesh on them lol.

Tonight. Cheese pizza on toast :(

I love the chicken feet at dimsum. I just bite off the toes and then strip the meat with your teeth. I just followed the lead of the asians i was there with. Everybody just biting toes off and spitting out little bones onto side plates without even leaning over. Some of them hit the plates, some of them hit the floor or table. Whatever. Hot with rich dark sauce good, cold with vinegar sauce bad :):):)

Tonight was a special treat from my second oldest brother. He made and brought over vegetarian Swedish Meatballs. I don't know how the hell he did it but he did and they are absolutely delicious. He had them layered with rice so it was like a casserole. I really enjoyed it. :)
