Also I'd like to see some more about the history of menudo =) - Shai-kun 19:20, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Part of the problem... and this applies to burritos as well... is many of the culinary traditions of Mexico were oral, trying to find decent written references might be difficult. I think I need to sit down with some books by Diana Kennedy, who has written the most thorough English language documentation of the subject of Mexican cuisine, she probably covered this in one of her books.

text: I think it's due to the extensive preparation time required. Most Mexican restaurants that serve menudo that I'm aware of in the U.S. only serve it on Sundays. Mike R (talk) 17:44, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Menudo on the Weekend? 

message: This article states: "Menudo is eaten with corn tortillas. The tortillas are placed on the hand flat and rolled with the other from the tip of the fingers to the back of the palm (or vice versa) and held with the hand not using the spoon. The rolled tortilla can be dipped in the menudo and a bite taken or bites taken as the menudo is consumed." Geez, maybe I should check out the Wiki article on urination to get instructions on how to...Jmdeur (talk) 17:14, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, yes, this is very helpful.   I have never tried menudos, and think that this is valuable advice.   216.99.201.204 (talk) 08:37, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does Someone Really Think This Is Necessary? 

message: I guess it goes without saying that prices of menudos vary, but what is considered a good price at a Mexican restaurant, and when is it not so much of a bargain?   What is a typical price for a bowl of menudos?
Also, is it ever served on plate instead of a bowl?216.99.201.204 (talk) 08:39, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Do prices vary? 

message: A local restaurant by me advertises menudos, plural.  In Spanish, does it have the weight of a plural noun?   Or is it supposed to be a singular?
Does one order a bowl of menudo, or a bowl of menudos?   216.99.201.204 (talk) 08:42, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is menudos considered a plural noun? 

message: No, menudo is singular and plural, it refers to the less valuable parts of the animals, it's viscera (guts). 
The name of the dish is menudo o pancita, simply because that is the name for the stomach of the cow in México. In Spain, the stomach is called callos. See http://rae.es/menudo
The etymology of menudo is the same as minute, it means something detailed,small pieces. It also means small value coins, but the dish is not named after this meaning of menudo as said in the article. it is called menudo just because it is the menudo of a cow. 
I am an spanish native speaker.
The name of the article should be Menudo o Pancita, or pancita redirecting to menudo or vice versa, because pancita is the diminutive of panza, which means stomach.
I suggest to eliminate the etymology section, just tell that menudo is the name of the stomach of the cow in Mexico in the introduction of the article. Also to mention that menudo is called pancita in other regions of Mexico.
In ordering menudo in Spanish.  For one bowl of menudo, you say, "dame un menudo."  If you order two bowls of menudo, you say, "dame dos menudos."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.251.157.180 (talk) 04:09, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The name is menudo, the etymology of the name for the dish is wrong in the article 

message: I looked for this article, because I wanted to see a recipe, because I know one that uses Chile Guajillo and oregano. As I know it, it does not have too much garlic. I know the variant of the center of Mexico, not the way it is cooked in Jalisco. 
In the part about the variants of the dish, in my home we prepare it with ram meat and maiz (pozole+pancita+birria), but I do not know the origin of this style, maybe it is from the northwest states as told in the article.

thread_title:  A clear recipe is needed 

message: I deleted the statement: 
"A positive first experience will invariably lead to a greater appreciation and understanding of why the like ofMexican Menudo Recipe ranks high in the world as a renowned and traditional culinary experience." 
Because it seemed more "opiniony" than fact. The ref there, is of course, a link to a recipe. I see in the above conversation here: "Wikipedia is not the appropriate place for recipes. You want wikibooks:cookbooks" So I'm guessing that link should go too, but I haven't exactly read the orificial wikipedia policy on links to recipes in articles about food, if such a thing exists.. I imagine that a positive first experience in editing wikipedia articles will invariably lead to a greater appreciation and understanding of why the likes of wikipedia ranks high in the world as a renowned and traditional encyclopedic experience, but I'm not sure how informative or important that statement is, and I'm pretty sure it could be easily modified to apply similarly to just about any subject matter.
