Tripe Connection

Today is Cinco de Mayo, a day of celebration for Mexican-Americans, and among the foods found at fiestas today is a dish called menudo, which is prepared from tripe. Tripe is the inner lining of a cow's stomach. NPR's Ina Jaffe sent us this report about a California company that manufactures menudo in a can.
