    I love tripe. It is popular in parts of Italy and so I grew up with it in my immigrant Italian family. Whenever I see it used in other national dishes anywhere in the world, I always get it and the dish is always amazing! Look past what it is, and just eat it. It holds onto the sauces really well so each bite is a flavor bomb.

    If you have time, it's worth to spend some time learning spanish. even 1-2 weeks of learning, helps you to interact better and understand what people say/ask in spanish. this can really help to understand, what you experience in a country - and that's worth a lot
