Menudo is a classic Mexican meal of tripe and vegetables. Apparently, it is a brilliant cure for a hangover. While it is not for most people, the flavour of the tripe and the scallion, hot pepper flakes and corn create a filling dish that is ideal for those cold damp nights. Serve as a main dish with bread.
