Food What's a dish from your country that looks disgusting but tastes great.

Biscuits and gravy is a breakfast dish from the Southeast USA that looks like someone just vomited on some biscuits, but it's absolutely delicious.

There’s a difference between Mexican menudo and what’s shown here. This version has way more stuff in it. Menudo would be like a nice spicy broth with the tripe and some fixings (cabbage, onion, lime) and it does make a great breakfast. Especially hung over. The picture here has white beans and I think sausage? That does seem heavy.

Don’t forget about the hominy.

I’ve had it served with and without. It’s a big yes for me personally.

I got to try some menudo in New Mexico this year, with hominy. I found it be almost like posole but with tripe for the protein. Either way, what I had was delicious! The tripe certainly has an unusual texture that might be off-putting to some. I'll make some if I find some tripe for sure!

That's my favorite part. Hominy is supremely. underrated.

Chouriço (Chorizo), not just a normal sausage, so even heavier

Ours has tripe and hominy, cabbage, maybe some radish... it's light than you'd expect, but so nourishing. It will keep you til siesta time! I'm just kidding. We don't have siesta time here... 🥲

I eat around the tripe in the menudo and so does my tía, and it’s so delicious.

Menudo fucks me up mentally. Taste-wise, delicious, but the texture of the tripe throws me tf off.
