I just say that when you have to clean something that much to make it edible, that's a pretty good clue for getting something else...

I'm currently in Mexico and for the first time in my life yesterday I tried fried cricket and grasshopper

along with Pulque Pulque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(All native Mexican cuisine). I would rather have Mondongo any day than fried grasshoppers and crickets.

Is it in Mexico that they have chocolate covered grasshoppers? I would try one for fun!

Blood sausage, called Kishka during my childhood, brings back memories. Not all of them good ones. They even have a song about it:

What part of Mexico are you in? I've never even heard of such and I have spent a few months overall in Mexico.

Right now in Puebla. This is very common all over Mexico. The thing is obviously you won't see this in higher end restaurants, malls, etc...you have to get out onto the streets and hang out with the common folks. If you go to a fair for instance you'll see many people selling these.

This is indigenous cuisine.

In terms of tripe they use it in menudo, but you can also find it in other forms. For instance "Chistorra" - Fried entrails - is very common at steakhouses and some of the poshest restaurants as well.

Aguaita: Yes I have seen those as well. In addition you can find worms or other little critters in spicy "suckers" - Paletas.

The crickets were not bad at all. It tasted like a salty snack. The grasshoppers I didn't care for and the pulque either (slimy consistency).

I felt like Andrew Zimmern...:laugh:

Black pudding in the UK or Boudin Noir in France is delicious, breakfast isn't the same without it. Why can't they make it here?

You folks missed my little book, titled, "It's a DELICACY in Japan!!!"

A short compendium of observations dealing with how gringos react to all things Latin, compared to their enthusiastic exclamatory SHOUTS when customs and traditions from industrialized nations are discussed.

If mondongo was Swedish, they'd be singing its praises. Otherwise, it's "Yuck! You gonna eat that?!"

My dogs love it...the tripe then, but not cleaned because you wash away all the good stuff (enzymes). I can slice it for the dogs but the smell turns me off to try it myself. Nothing new for me because in Belgium we eat a lot of blood sausages, liver and kidneys, but no tripe. My father loved to eat baked pork brains which even got my mother out of the kitchen.
