Before I go to a Mexican restaurant, I always ask, if they serve this.....

Menudo !!!

This a spicy Mexican soup, made from beef tripe with or without hominy (corn), boiled for hours with herbs and spices

The soup is fat, very rich

The richness can be "cut" with lime juice, salsa. I usually add onion, cilantro, extra salsa , squeeze lots of lime and add just a pinch of Mexican oregano.  It goes ideal with beer, tequila ext.

For lots of people, this soup is not everyday food. So, if I see on the menu in a restaurant this soup, then I am  absolutely sure, that Mexican and  people from Latin America go there to eat.  

Buckwheat with mushrooms -fast side dish or a dish of its own

Ukraine, Russia, Belorussia boiled   buckwheat   is a popular breakfast dish. It's popular in North America as well.

So, if we have some of it left after breakfast, it can be really good side dish or vegetarian full course.

All you need :

1. Boiled buckwheat 

2. 1 can of mushrooms

3. Veg. oil for frying

Fry the mushrooms, add the buckwheat , stir and serve. You can add butter if you like
