I don’t do men, so I will not be celebrating this month, but I thought June was the month to celebrate those who do men. 😋

I thought this was about the mexican boys band,,,

[Robert DeLong]

Whatever it's about, I'm not into it. 😋

Besides that, a whole month of it? No thanks. 😋

Also, check out Juanita’s website, follow Juanita’s Foods on Facebook and use #NationalMenudoMonth or #Vivelatradicion to share on social media.

Nice ad for Juanita's. That's what FR is for, all right.

It is also rumored to be the perfect cure for hangovers.

No rumor; it's a fact. It's cured many a hangover of mine (in my younger, drinking days, of course). The heat and the spiciness clears your head in no time.

Also the salt and the proteins..............

[P.O.E.]

I blame them for all the boy bands that proliferated ever since Menudo first made it big.

"Life is Just a Bowl of Warm Menudo"

[Myrddin]

I've had decent menudo at a hispanic restaurant in Birmingham, AL and in San Diego, CA. A new restaurant in Pocatello offered menudo on the weekend menu. I ordered it in hopes that it would be par with the prior experiences. It was gross. Nasty, slippery organ meat floating in a broth with nothing else. I struck the place off my list of acceptable places to eat.

Can’t say that I’m a big fan of tripe.

Neither the literal stuff, nor the figurative stuff served up by Big Media.

[Red Badger]

Nothing worse than a bowl of BAD Menudo!..............

The heat and the spiciness clears your head in no time.

A green curry with chicken at a Thai restaurant will do that just fine. Crank up the spicy level to the point you need a bath towel to deal with the perspiration if that suits you. I enjoy that level, but my sinuses run freely under those conditions. Lots of napkins required.

[Red Badger]

I wasn’t either, until I tried it!...The Menudo that is!.....................

[NorthMountain]

I've had entirely enough of the figurative variety. Do Not Want.

As for the literal variety ... de gustibus non disputandum.

[Myrddin]

Nothing worse than a bowl of BAD Menudo!..............

Absolutely. I order a bowl of pho (rice noodle soup) with sliced rare steak, briscuit, tendon, tripe, beef balls at the local Thai Paradise restaurant in Pocatello. The Dee Kitchen in Idaho Falls makes a decent bowl of pho as well.

[fidelis]

That works too.

[A strike]

Reconquista complete ! -fJRoberts-

[dljordan]

If I wanted chitlin’ soup I’d go back to Tennessee.
