That's sad. I was just eying a can of menudo in my pantry and telling
myself that I should consume it ere the can bursts. (The current can
isn't that old and looks fine, but I did once have a can of Juanita's
Menudo explode in my pantry.)

I also wasn't raised on tripe. Mom was an adventurous cook, but I don't
recall her cooking that. On rare occasions, I encountered an iota of it
in Campbell's pepperpot soup, but that was it. I rather like tripe and
have been known to cook it. I also order it at some Chinese restaurants
(as part of fu qi fei pian) and love encountering it or its relatives in
pho or in a Korean stew.
