Menudo and nopales?
Forums
Hello to everyone. What's going on with all this talk about menudo and nopales? I thought this was a genealogy group, not a cooking book................................I'm just kidding. By the way, in Jalisco we also cook white menudo, not only the red one. The last messages brought my attention because menudo as well as pozole is closely related to my family history. You see, my mom Margarita Tapia lives in Jalisco, Zacoalco de Torres, and she owns a restaurant where one of her specialties is menudo. Fonda Dona Mago, if you ever go to Zacoalco. A generation back, her mom, my grandma Manuela Martinez, was also known because of the delicious menudo she made. Even today, some old folks refer to my mom's menudo as "el menudo de Manuela", even though she has been retired for more than a decade. And this doesn't stop with my grandma, because her mother, my great- grandmother Ambrosia Frias Aguilar, was also famous for her restaurant and especially for her pozole. A couple years ago, my mother saw an old photograph from Zacoalco's old mercado. This photograph belonged to someone else outside our family, but my mother bought it from this person because in it there's a sign that reads "Cenaduria Bochita". That was the name of my greatgrandmother's restaurant, and up until then, my family did not have any picture of it. Well, it is just a comment. About the poll, I think it shoud stay the same. I submitted my family tree a while back in pdf format, but I have found new ancestors, so I'll put an updated version of this file soon. I don't know if you agree, but I think pdf is a cool format if you want to show your tree to other people. It lists your direct ancestors, the surnames, the places of origin, and you can move around it with the little hand tool. What do you think of this format?
