<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GaleriaGila, post: 107754, member: 993&quot;]In the Mexican border area where I grew up, low-end swap meets and flea markets were called&nbsp; &quot;menudo ventas&quot;... menudo sales. Menudo is a hot Mexican soup, enjoyed at all hours of the day.&nbsp; What goes in it you Anglos don&#039;t want to know, but suffice to say it&#039;s a mix of inexpensive meat and vegetables.&nbsp; So I guess a menudo venta has just that... a little of everything, nothing too expensive. </p><p>Now, if you&#039;re ever in a border town, you can authoritatively ask &quot;Hay Menudo Ventas hoy?&quot;&nbsp; (Are there Menudo sales today?)</p><p>Expect lots of taxidermy frogs, ristras (wreaths made of dried red chili peppers), gigantic paper flowers, and corn husks for making tamales!&nbsp; Bring American cash, amigos, and...&nbsp; watch your pockets![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
