I'll be honest: I couldn't stand you at first but now that you've written about Tripe, main ingredient of menudo, a personal favorite, my opinion has changed. Bravo for the bold choice of speaking out in support of our responsibility to eat the "entire animal."

I'm sorry, Patrick, but tripe is the skinless chicken breast of offal. Head out past 60th and seek out some real guts if you feel the need to assuage your guilt by eating the whole beast.

Thanks PAC. I've always wondered about the different kinds of tripe.
