I don't see why it would not work, IF you enjoy tripe.

I have yet to work up the courage to try it, and I'm adventurous with
food. <g>

I sometimes type faster than I think. Doesn't have to be tomato.
Tripe is interesting, a chewey tooth. I still have no actual new
information in the last four minutes.

I'm thinkin' ginger? Raisins? of course garlic. Some kinda
carribean/african kinda vibe.

Don't hold me to anything, I'm just spinning.

I think tomato sauce is as plausible as anything.

I've tried menudo. I liked everything *except* the tripe. I can't
get past the texture, yet I'm all over escargot and "sweetbreads"
whenever they're on the menu.

It should be kinda gummy like well cooked gristle?
I generally like that kind of texture.

Maybe that's what it could be if I liked it but that's not the texture
I remember. A combo of styrofoam and slime is more like it.

sf -

Menudo without the tripe isn't menudo. Pozole maybe?

Om - If some dead animal's foot presents in my market, or somehow
comes to my kitchen, I'm happy to eat it, but mostly, no. My menudo
is tripe, hominy, tomato then whatever. A recent thread here had me
add garbanzos to this last batch. Eh. Take 'em or leave 'em.

Ok, thanks. but personally, I've hated Hominy all my life!

The local Menudo recipes generally include split pigs feet, or maybe
calves feet.

In the context, yes. However, there is also Filipino menudo, which is a
different thing and contains no tripe of any kind. Here a recipe I once
posted. It is from
