*Menudo

For those of you who don't live in the Western US, "menudo" is a Mexican soup made from beef tripe, hominy and chiles, garnished with onion, oregano and more chiles.  It's also a word for "a little bit of everything, all mixed up".  So this is the page for all the records that don't fit into any major category.  No rhyme or reason, but didn't want to pass them up.
