Mary-Anne, There are several dishes from different heritages with similar ingredients. The Mexican flavoring of the Tripas was exceptional. It's funny that people will eat hot dogs and gag at tripas or haggis or giblet sausage. Ever watch hot dogs being made? (They don't generally allow it, but I had a friend who worked for a packing plant and let me watch. Whoooo-eeee: not for those with sensitive stomachs.)
