Commentator Shout-Out: Hungrymomma and Hungrypoppa

• Gotta love Homer and his pink doughnuts. Have gotten a few myself at 7-Eleven. I took my own field trip to Las Brisas de Apatzingan after reading Gustavo's review and wrote it up: http://ocmexfood.blogspot.com/2008/08/las-brisas-de-apatzingan-review-1.html Loved the soup but am interested in going back to see if the chicharones aren't mushy this time. Let's get a field trip to there organized.

• one more thing-I have neighbors on either side of me here in Happy Valley (Dove Canyon) who crave menudo/pozole-one from Phoenix, the other from Arkansas (of all places!) by way of Bakersfield...and believe it or not, we have run into real live chilangos here in Happy Valley also...

• I guess marrying a Mexican will eventually convert a middle aged Sicilian/Irishman from LonGuyland into a Latin food freak..there is nothing that warms my heart more than seeing my neighborhood full of gabachos (as Gustavo would say :) ) devour my wife's pozole (we never tell them what part of the pig is used, do we? :)

• Yes field trip indeed! Gustavo hungrymomma needs to prepare herself for the culinary expedition we are taking in a couple of months when we visit my viejitos in Guadalajara Jalisco AHUA!!

• Momma: Not even POZOLE?!?! Oh, but you haven't tried the <a href="http://www.ocweekly.com/2008-02-07/food/pozole-paradise"green pozole at Las Brisas de Apatzingan</a>. I smell a field trip... Frank: That's what I meant: mondongo, not mofongo. Mofongo is what Puerto Ricans make with plantains and pork, I believe.

• Gustavo: In northern Veracruz state (where my wife is from) it's called mondongo, not menudo...regardless, it's yummy (you should see my wife's scratch menudo/pozole!)

• Gustavo/Hungry Poppa - Just not a fan or tripe and hominy. blah.

• Momma: How can you not like menudo? Don't you Salvis eat mofongo? Poppa: I once wrote an essay about menudo that I can't quite find right now, but you got me thinking...

• I was pensando i can't recal a menudo review? i know of a couple of places if you are game. Menudo is about the only thing hungrymomma refuses to try and i am determined to turn this Salvi chica into a fan.

• trust me, you are bookmarked!

• Frank: As the hungry couple can attest, I will gladly pay a dinner or whatever I advertise when I plug it on this infernal blog�that's why you must read daily!

• Speaking about Bangkok Taste hungrymomma and I where just there on Sunday.. i am still licking my chops! it was a pleasure hablando con tigo. Asta la proxima ves.

• I wouldn't mind joining you sometime (of course with my wife and daughter) and compare notes on restaurants, OC, and your book...

• Hey Gustavo! Thanks for the shout out! AGAIN! :) We loved meeting you and chatting about our fave passion, or obsession rather, FOOD! Maybe we will take you up on the bloody mary offer, but I gotta check w/Poppa. :) -Hungrymomma 1 part of an awesome young latino couple!
