How about some Menudo, the Mexican equivalent to grandma's chicken soup. There is some really good menudo out there and some really bad also. I like it, but the wife can't get it down. I guess it's the thought of what's in it.

I wish you New Mexicans would stop talking about your chiles. Either that or send me some.
We can't get New Mexico-style food around here in Georgia and Alabama. All the Mexican restaurants serve a different kind of "Mexican" food. Don't get me wrong - I like it. But it's not like what you get in New Mexico.

mavapa: Since so many people don't know New Mexico is part of the united States. I would share with you but it might not pass customs, there might be problems getting our really hot chile past Home Land Security as well. You know native New Mexicans swear an oath not to reveal exact receipes, always leave out at least one ingredient. The State Motto is "Red or Green" refeering to the color of chile sauce on our food, I like them both.

Menudo the true breakfast of champions, a widley used cure for a hangover. I used to go to a Menudorio in Nuevo Casas Grande, Mexico, only place open all night. A bowl of their menudo with a side bowl of shreaded cheese and chopped onions was about $.50. A great way to finish a late night or start and early morning.

Growing up in the Deep, Deep South of the eastern Carolinas during the late 1940's and 50's all we ever had to eat was ETHNIC foods..
But you know what .?... when you grow up eating ETHNIC foods, you grow to love them and really miss it when it's not redily available anymore..
Our ETHNIC foods were...
Grits
Collard Greens
Turnip Greens
Mustard Greens
Rutabagas
Lima Beans
Sweet potatoes
Cracklings
Chitterlings
Fried Chicken
Chicken Dumplings
Pork Chops
Corn Bread
Collard Sauerkraut
etc..etc...etc...
ahhhh... those wonderful ETHNIC foods... I sure miss them

TWO CENTS WORTH
The story goes that a man died and was approached by the Devil who told him that he could buy his soul back for a dollar. The man searched his pockets and could only come up with 98 cent. While begging the Devil to forget the two cent he was short, an Angel happened by and hearing the Devil laughing, asked the man, "Would you mind if I put in my two cents ?" The Devil got so mad that he exploded in a puff of smoke and the man's soul was saved.
The moral: Sometimes putting in your two cents worth makes a difference.

John;
I grew up in east TX. We ate the same foods as you. But you missed black-eyed peas. Also had fried marrow gut. Crackling cornbread was the best. I still make it from time to time. In Mexico they make a breakfast dish called Chicharonies which is cracklins cooked in a sauce, not bad.

Awwwww ... man, how did I forget Black eyed peas and Cracklin Bread...
We also had a couple of other peas that we loved ...
"Field Peas" ..usually mixed half-n-half with their shells and called "Snap Peas" or "Snap Beans"..
and "Crowder Peas" ... also made with some of it's "Snaps" ....
both peas are first cousins to the Black Eyed Peas..
Did you ever notice how "Yankees" mispronounce our southern delicacies ...?
For example... it is ..
"Chitlins" .. not Chitterlings
"Cracklins" .. not Cracklings
"Pe-CAN" .. not Pe-CAH-n
Confound it Yank..!! .. there ain't no letter "H" in the word Pecan...
Do people go to the store and buy a "CAHN" of peas or do they buy a "CAN" of peas...
I remember as a kid that Mammy ..(my grandmother).. always kept a "PEE CAN" under her bed ..
heheheheheheheeeeeeeee..........
John
