Buseca

Buseca is a type of cazuela de mondongo, or tripe soup. I don't think I've ever eaten stomach in the US, but I have had it in Ecuador and Mexico. Saturday, was the first time I'd eaten it here.

Organ meats are very common in Uruguay; I was told they eat everything but the mugido. (Mugido is Spanish for "moo".)

I liked the buseca and I'd recommend it. For adventursome eaters you could try this recipe.

    I was in Poland some years ago and I remember there was an importation of mondongo from Uruguay!
