Tripe soup that argues, convincingly, that hangovers can be eaten into submission.

means A Mexican soup made from beef tripe simmered in a red chile broth, traditionally eaten as a weekend or hangover-curing dish, often with hominy, onion, oregano, and lime stirred in.

from From Spanish menudo, meaning 'small' or 'minute,' from Latin minutus (the same root that gives English 'minute' and 'minuscule'). The name comes from menudos, the old Spanish term for the small, lesser cuts of the animal — entrails and other butcher's odds and ends — that were considered leftover parts rather than prime meat. Cooks turned those humble, inexpensive scraps into a slow-simmered broth, and the dish kept the name of the parts it was built from.
