Menudo The soup menudo is a traditional Mexican dish; a frequently spicy soup with tripe. It is often thought of cure for hangover. The word "menudo" in mexico can mean the raw stomach meat as well as the stew. the tripas(tripe) normally refers to small intestines rather than the stomach. Tripas are also eaten, but normally in tacos rather than stews. In New Mexico and Texas menudo is eaten for breakfast and is known as "Breakfast of Champions". Menudo also refers to an entirely different dish in the Philippines. This dish, in contrast, i made of garlic, onions, diced pork chops, pork liver, diced potatoes, diced carrots, green bell peppers, soy sauce and tomato sauce, and seasoned with salt and pepper while it is cooked. Filipino menudo usually contain tripe though common variants will include chickpeas, red peppers and raisins. I only already taste the Filipino style menudo and it tastes really good. Afritada It is a Filipino cuisine which is a pork or beef simmered on a tomato sauce with vegetables like potatoes. Like menudo it also have a great taste. Mechado This cuisine is have common of afritada because it is also a pork or beef cooked in tomato sauce. So that it also a delicious dish. I love them all! And we usually them almost every week. Do you already taste them? Did you already prepare them in your meals? How often?Happy EATING....
