Nicaraguan HANGOVER CURE!! Beef Stomach Stew + Furniture Craftsmen in Masatepe, Nicaragua!!

VISIT NICARAGUA: https://www.instagram.com/visitanicaragua CARLOS: https://www.instagram.com/carlostapiapineda MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG: https://davidsbeenhere.com/ My road trip through Nicaragua continued with a stop in Masatepe, a small town outside of Masaya. We were there to try a special dish called mondongo, which is made from calf tripe and feet! Come with me as we eat the Nicaraguan delicacy called mondongo and explore Masatepe! You can’t visit Masatepe without trying mondongo, and the town is also famous for its furniture makers! They make chairs, sofas, rocking chairs, and more. But first, we were starting at El Rancho del Mondongo to eat! DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/davids-been-here The restaurant is rustic and open-air, with high ceilings. There, my guide Carlos and I met with Judith, who would walk us through how to make mondongo. First we saw the vegetables they use: corn, cassava, ginger, lettuce, squash, and more. I saw them cooking the tripe and beginning the soup. It contained a couple of different types of corn, calf ribs, cabbage, and more. It also contains calf feet, which I normally don’t like because there’s no meat on them! I’d be trying the mondongo and the ribs soup, along with rum plata, which is the official mondongo drink in Nicaragua. First, I started on the tripe, which was incredible and spongy! I loved the earthy, iron-rich flavor of the meat, as well as lots of fat and vegetables. I even liked the feet, which had some meat on them! The ribs in the rib soup were so tender, they fell apart in my mouth! On the side, we had tortillas, avocado, lemon, salt, cheese, and rice. The rum with the lemon and salt was great. Then, we put the cheese and avocado in the tortilla. It’s great, but if you dunk it into the soup, it’s even better!
