Frankly it surprises me that I hadn't freaked out anyone yet with the Menudo thing. :rofl2: Actually, truth be told, throughout the years, I HAVE started to lose my taste for ... get freaked out by / get grossed out a bit by the Tripe part of it. :eek: So, I try to get way more of the Hominy and the Spicy Sauce part.
Did you ever hear that it is a great cure for a hangover? I believe it IS true! I don't drink anymore, but I do recall an incident a long time ago, back in my drinking days when it was proven to be true.
One Saturday morning I showed up to work in bad shape. I wanted to go home almost immediately. I told my boss I was gonna go home cuz I was in bad shape. He told me, "Nah man. Stick it out till lunch and I'll take you to Lupita's Cafe for a bowl of Menudo and it'll fix you right up." After at least two more utterings of, "I need to go home NOW" and through sheer willpower, I stuck it out till lunch and my boss was right. A bowl of Menudo did fix me right up of my hangover and I was able to finish out the day.
