Gak. I've tried the authentic stuff twice (once just to make sure the first wasn't a bad batch) and I can't even stomach the "good" stuff. That makes me want to hurl. I had a roommate at college that got sick when he opened a can of their canned tamales. I thought it was funny. He didn't.
Some Goya stuff is great- seasonings, etc... but I cannot see that CANNED menudo could be in any way be acceptable. Isn't it banned under the 8th Amendment?
Short of "Haggis Helper" I can't think of anything I'd rather not eat.

ReplyDeleteI've reached the conclusion that "local delicacy" is code for "food we natives won't eat but are willing to foist off on the tourists."
