I started laughing because of the comedy of the whole thing, but I won't eat menudo.
With you. Not at you. It's the second step on the freshly implanted nail that really gets your attention. I got very used to Tetanus shots as a youth. 
Coming from the Ag side of the world, we grew accustomed to sharing lunch with the amigos. Somebody's wife or mom always shows up in the field and sells lunch out of back the van. Sometimes soups of varying origin and or burritos of unknown origin! Food and fellowship was best in the world. Many a fine meal, totally agree with previous post. There is a red and a white version both are yummy done correctly.
I was a meat cutter for too many years, you would never get me to eat it.
My mom makes it. I love hers! Restaurants are a hit or miss @ best. Yes it smells bad when initially cooking it. But once it's done yumm yumm!!! I like it with lots of onions and chopped serrano peppers.
And there you have it. A professionals take. Good enough for me.
The stomach is honey combed, there are actual stomach washers, you can wash it several times and still find feakle (****) to the laymen. Stomach and trepus or tripe are the two worst things you can produce from a cow.
Far as I'm concerned brisket is third, then. Can't understand why anybody would cook something for 12 hours to make it fit to eat. And I've smoked a few. Again, way better stuff to smoke. Just don't get it.
This is true . Brisket is tough but also comes from the front quarter which is a heavy muscle and should not be put in same category as gut product.
Pig ears? There ain't much there but 2 layers of hide and hair
My wife loved lengua tacos from Taco Cabana until I told her what lengua is. lol
