My pen wasn't working too well, and I was writing with the paper held
against the window, so I may not have gotten the words spelled correctly.

Molida is in fact ground beef. Seso is brains. I'm assuming that
tripita is tripe, but I'm just guessing here. I have no clue what
"buche" is. The first few had English translations, but the last ones
didn't (maybe they didn't want to scare off us gringos?).
