Prepare for Thanksgiving with a big bowl of menudo

Menudo, the traditional Mexican soup made from tripe — the lining of beef stomach, if you haven’t tasted it — can be prepared in a clear broth or a spicy red chili base. It’s a legendary hangover cure too.

On November 21, the Sunday before Thanksgiving, the non-profit organization Azteca de Greater Kansas City will host a fund-raising menudo breakfast from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine at 1015 Avenidad Cesar Shavez in Kansas City, Missouri.

And yes, there will be other breakfast items besides menudo.
