So you partied a bit too hard last night and woke up with a dire need for…a steaming hot bowl of menudo. But where can you buy the best menudo in Orange County?
For those of you who have no clue, menudo is a traditional Mexican soup that is said to be especially good when you are, well, hung over.
But Gustavo Arellano, over at the OC Weekly, says there is more to menudo than meets the eye, “menudo is so much more than boiled cow guts or something to soak up the booze that fueled your previous night. Menudo is a socio-historical lesson in a bowl: the fat, pale kernels of pozole have nourished Mesoamericans since time immemorial; the use of tripe and not the better parts of a cow a testament to its status as a poor person’s meal. Menudo is delicious, the trinity of firm pozole, chewy tripe and fiery, blood-red broth producing a comforting, fatty flavor.”

excellent post! thanks
“menudo is so much more than boiled cow guts”…. Wrong Pedroza!
It is actually the tripe which is a type of edible. one of four cow’s stomachs.
Same like the BEER, MÚSICA NORTEÑA the MENUDO was introduced to Mexicans by the Germans. It is popular dish all over in the Europe and was before the Mexico even existed.
Like any such food it will make you fat, unhealthy and you will die sooner than others.
Please do not eat MENUDO no matter how good it is.
Fiala,
I rather eat menudo than borscht. And most Eastern Euro food is known for being heavy and fattening. No thanks!
#3 I agree!
I am not promoting any East European food Pedroza.
My brother died in 61 eating that garbage and I am 64 so I must do something good.
Talk to me when you are 64 Pedroza, Mill, Martinez and Tinajero!
Fiala,
Silly man. I cook all sorts of food at my house. I cooked roast beef and baked potatoes last night, with a side of broccoli. Served the beef with Au Jus.
Tonight I served baked chicken thighs with white rice and green beans.
I cook Mexican food at most once or twice a week.
As for Mill, he is training to run in a Marathon. And Martinez works out regularly.
So what do you eat Fiala? Your wife does the cooking, doesn’t she? And is she not a Mexican immigrant? I am guessing you are having Mexican food most nights – not Czech offerings…
This is a very interesting post and it makes me hungry. Regarding the Mexican diet I have a question. I once read a study that Mexican’s have lower I.Q.’s because of all the corn in their diet. Has anyone ever heard this theory and is there any truth to it? If anyone knows of this study please post it for discussion.
Actually Pedroza,
I love Mexican food and since my marriage in 1988 I have gained about 50 pounds. Manly in my abdominal area…. As you know.
I am emailing you my pre-Mexican pictures of me. You can use and abuse them as you wish. I am heading back to my pre-Mexican looks.

Do your own research.
as to:
“As for Mill, he is training to run in a Marathon. And Martinez works out regularly.”
Mill will make news in that marathon – not positive one prediction #1,000,001.
Martinez is still Mamacita.
Look my photos in their age.
It is true #6 but there is no possible discussion on this subject here because the Mexicans will accuse you of the hate. Mainly Dr. Lomeli.
Do your research on goggle. It is all there!
Well, this post sure did test my gag reflex right after New Year’s Eve! Urp! And, Corn Husker, the way I heard that story it was about Nebaskans, not Mexicans. 🙂 Have a Happy New Year, y’all…
Art, that food sounds good, but you’d be even better off without the white rice, baked potato, and other simple carbs.
“Well, this post sure did test my gag reflex right after New Year’s Eve! Urp! And, Corn Husker, the way I heard that story it was about Nebaskans, not Mexicans. Have a Happy New Year, y’all…”
“Nebaskans”?
So diet does not impact I.Q.?
#8,
Very true. But I have four kids and they need to eat a balanced diet. They are all in good shape.
My wife and I try to eat more veggies and avoid the starchy food.
“This is a very interesting post and it makes me hungry. Regarding the Mexican diet I have a question. I once read a study that Mexican’s have lower I.Q.’s because of all the corn in their diet.

Should of been in #13 above.
If the corn myth is true then Corn Flakes the breakfast of champions should me recalled …..don’t you think????????? It is a USA dietary tradition and inherent as a food source for athletes, how controversial !!!!!
From WIKIPEDIA:
[edit] Race and intelligence
Main article: Heritability of IQ
Researchers have reported differences in the average IQ test scores of various ethnic groups. The interpretation, causes, accuracy and reliability of these differences are highly controversial. Some researchers, such as Arthur Jensen, Richard Herrnstein, and Richard Lynn, have argued that such differences are at least partially genetic. Others, for example Thomas Sowell, argue that the differences largely owe to social and economic inequalities. Still others such as Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin have argued that categories such as “race” and “intelligence” are cultural constructs that render any attempt to explain such differences (whether genetically or sociologically) meaningless.
The Flynn effect is the rise of average Intelligence Quotient (IQ) test scores over generations (over time), an effect seen in most parts of the world, although at varying rates. Scholars therefore believe that rapid increases in average IQ seen in many places are much too fast to be as a result of changes in brain physiology and more likely as a result of environmental changes. The fact that environment has a significant effect on IQ undermines the case for the use of IQ data as a source of genetic information.[92][93]
From your references Dr. Lomeli, it appear that you are mixing up the Intellect and Intelligence. These are not same!
The “Intellect” is learn i.e. an intellectual.
The “Intelligence” is genetic i.e. Einstein who was miserably educated himself.
Therefore, you can have a well educated moron. Left Socialists are usually in that group. They will always point out your spelling as an argument. Where in fact Einstein, was miserable speller. Right Socialists will try to manipulate the gene by a selective breeding and now by DNA manipulation.
This can clearly be seen among the Blacks who were bred for savory and these who come directly from Africa. (see sports)
Because of the political correctness, the real truth can’t be found by the science. Same as in the earth warming, the science is a fraud.
According to Dr. Lomeli we all have same IQ.
Fiala,
You are stupid beyond belief. There is a variance of genetic intellect amongst individuals. There is not a variance in genetic intellect amongst races or nationalities. There is a variance within the human race. Researchers conclude that group variances is a complicated mixture of environment with many specifics within …..stereotyping,nutrition,socio-economic etc…
All native Americans from the USA to South American are decendants of Asians that migrated into North American during the ice age.
You expose your stupidity further when you argue Mexicans are genetically inferior in intellect to others by misunderstanding that Mexican is a term given by place of birth. Asians and northern Europeans which you argue are genetically above Mexicans intellectually can be Mexican if born in Mexico. Mexico like the USA is a melting pot of races,nationalities and cultures. Your theory is corrupt as you are.
Intellect is the ability to learn. Intelligence is the ability to apply or use the knowledge to reason. This is what you lack making you the moron.
Einstein’s intellect gave him the ability to learn physics. His intelligence gave him the ability to reason the physics into E=MC2.
The more you write the more evident it is that you lack both a intellect and intellegence.
#11, nope, it affects typing skills! Nebraskans – sorry about that!
[Einstein’s intellect gave him the ability to learn physics. His intelligence gave him the ability to reason the physics into E=MC2.] End of Dr. Lomeli’s Citation
Dr. Lomeli you are a clear example of the educated moron. If the above would be true than Einstein would not be unique and your intelligence would gave you the ability to reason my statement above.
Since you are unable to do that your IQ is therefore limited and you should stop eating Corn.
FYI, Einstein acquired his formal education after his E=MC2 so he can present his hypotheses to the educated morons of his era.
[We should take care not to make the intellect our god: it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.] Einstein’s Citation
[Nothing in the world makes people so afraid as the influence of independent-minded people.]Einstein’s Citation
[Let us not forget that knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. … I claim credit for nothing. Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, forces over] Einstein’s Citation
Please notice that statement “Everything is determined” above which hints the genetic structure. He clearly states that you can’t learn beyond given!
Learn more Dr. Lomeli get intellect if chalenged by IQ. http://www.iwise.com/AZ6Ls
“Intellect is the ability to learn. Intelligence is the ability to apply or use the knowledge to reason. This is what you lack making you the moron.”
It’s sad that the Doc has sunk to Fiala’s name level of calling.
“Dr. Lomeli you are a clear example of the educated moron. If the above would be true than Einstein would not be unique and your intelligence would gave you the ability to reason my statement above.”
what ??????????
Fiala, you are blabbering.
Dr. Lomeli, excessive use of question marks indicates a dead end in your reasoning. By doing so you are indicating that your IQ needs outside help.
You are indicating that the only think your IQ was able to detect was a “blabbering”…. white noise…… static…. causing a crash of your limited central processing unit.
The corn may be wrong fuel for gray matter.
Fiala,
You continue to blabber. If my use of ???? you associate with IQ then your problem with spelling and blabbering I believe is an indication of your Mexican wife feeding you too much corn.
It is not a problem of my brain interpreting it is a problem of your brain blabbering, see below:
“Dr. Lomeli you are a clear example of the educated moron. If the above would be true than Einstein would not be unique and your intelligence would gave you the ability to reason my statement above.”

Fiala says menudo was introduced to Mexicans by the Germans? None of my German friends eat menudo. Strange.
Fiala you make me laugh. You sound like some 12 year old trolling on message boards trying to upset people just to get your jollies. If you are a grown man, act like it.
