I say attempt because it didn’t turn out quite how I think it should have.

Anyway, I tried the menudo recipe in my little Filipino cookbook, but my problem was that I didn’t follow the directions to the letter. Plus, another knock against this attempt is that its pretty different from my mom’s version, which uses beef and much bigger chunks of potato. The end result was still edible, and not terrible — shoot, I ate it up — but I still have a yearning for my mom’s version of menudo. Ah well. Check out the whole process in the Flickr set.
