My favorite recipie is Menudo. Menudo is a traditional Mexican soup and it has always been my favorite thing to eat Even in 100 degree weather. This is my favorite dish becuase it was a speacial meal that we only ate on the weekends it was something that I always looked forward to it. Menudo reminds me of family and makes me think of happy memories. Whenever I would eat it I would be with all my family just sitting around the table in the morning eating and talking. You can add lots toppings such as Chile, dried oregano, lime, onion and cilantro which are my favorite, you also eat it with tortillas on the side. Many people don’t like it becuase of the texture of the tripe but the broth is so full of flavor.
