I loved tripe because of the taste and because it lasted a LONG time, no matter how good your teeth were. Dunno how cow guts could taste so good, but they sure did.
On the other hand, I tried some menudo made by one of my school ladies in Encinal once, and I REALLY couldn't handle that. Menudo is a sort of soup/stew stuff made with chopped up cow stomach and corn and some other stuff. YUCKetty-YUCK-YUCK!
