How Was Menudo Created?

Several places claim Menudo came from farmers accidentally creating it by using leftover parts of the cow, but nothing has ever been confirmed. There are also claims that it didn’t come from Mexico. It’s older than dishes similar to it, and theirs more accounts for this soup being around at the time of its creation, so it is likely Menudo derived from central Mexico. The Philippines has a comparable soup with the same name but different ingredients, such as pork, sliced liver, carrots, and potatoes.

When is Menudo Traditionally Eaten?

Menudo is typically eaten in colder months and is likely to appear on Thanksgiving and Christmas. You can find this dish brewing in the early morning until dinner, as it takes quite a while to prepare.
