Fascinating. I'd probably eat it if I didn't know what it was.

My first hubby was Colombian and I was introduced to some of my favorite dishes through that culture. However, there were a coupla freaky things I just couldn't wrap my head around.

Mondongo: Many Latin countries do their own versions of this. It's a tripe soup. I can't even stand the smell. *shuddering at the thought*


Bulls eye soup: I can't recall the Spanish name, but this soup is served with the cow's eye staring straight up at you. Too scary for me. Wish I could find a picture.

They also grill mollejas, which are sweetbreads. I didn't know what they were when I had them on a grill plate at both Argentinian and Nicaraguan steak houses. These are absolutely delectable!
