It's the Menudo!

You white people refuse to eat it because it's 'too gross!'.

Who's sorry now?!

The only thing that SUCKS about Menudo is making it. Ugh. I hate...HATE making it.

smurfx, how could you hate posole? Omg. If there's ever an LA GAF meet up, I'm forcing you to eat posole.

Posole > Menudo.

I love how sometimes a house will redundantly have both 'clear carbonated cure-alls'.

"Any soda, grandma?"

"Chu wan' espry or sebenah?"

"Do you have any Dr.Pepper?"

Pozole is basically the exact same thing as Menudo except with pork chunks instead of tripe.

There are variations of it though like Pozole blanco which uses a tomatillo base. Chicken pozole is a good alternative if you can't eat pork for health or religious reasons.

Bleargh. Gross.

The one I remember a lot as a kid was:

Bah! My dad was part of the local charro organization, so we'd go there every weekend. And on Saturdays, people would cook tripas on an open flame outside so I can't stand the smell. Yuck.

Every weekend till I was about 12. We even had a few horses, Arabe and Tobie. Needless to say I'm a bit bored of it. I do want to go to one more before I leave Texas, though.

I have heard about that, BUT in my case everyone would always say it can happen to you when you're all warm and suddenly go outside in very cold weather.

Hahaha, that's seriously a trip!

When we were sick my dad made us a concoction of Orange Juice, Worcester sauce, and cayenne pepper. It was fucking foul, but cleared your sinuses and sore throat in seconds.

Actually, my dad, who came here from Mexico, I rarely ever see him sick. He probably is going to live to 120 or something.

Both of you don't have to feel alone because I'm Dominican too (3/4 Dominican, 1/4 Cuban). I think it is the Vapor Rub and the rice and beans that's doing us good also the platano (plantain). Plus the family must stick together ideology although I barely see my family save for my 2 bros and my mother but that's because I live with them. Off topic but does anyone get annoyed when people on the internet say for example "k lo k?" I hate when people don't type in proper Spanish because it's the internet. The only downside to being Latino/Hispanic is that we get racially profiled easily because most of us are brown skinned.

dominican too!

* room – Spanish: habitación, cuarto – Dominican also: aposento (a Spanish archaism also meaning "chamber")

* good, fine – Spanish: bien – Dominican slang: tató (shortened from "está todo (bien)")

* wild – Spanish: agresivo/-a – Dominican also: guapo/-a

* passion fruit – Spanish: maracuyá – Dominican also: chinola

* papaya / pawpaw – Spanish: papaya – Dominican also: lechoza

* money – Spanish: dinero – Dominican slang: cuartos (this is an archaism seldom used in standard Spanish also)

* a bit – Spanish: un poco – Dominican slang: un chin/chin chin (possibly of Arawak or African origin)

* coach / bus – Spanish: autobús – Dominican also: guagua (this term is also used in the Canary Islands (Spain), Cuba, Puerto Rico; it originated in the Canary Islands)

* motorbike taxi – does not exist in all Spanish-speaking countries – Dominican Spanish: motoconcho

* scooter – Spanish: ciclomotor – Dominican also: pasola (a genericized term deriving from a trademark)

* jeep / SUV – Spanish: (vehículo) todoterreno – Dominican also: yipeta (a genericized term deriving from a trademark).

* farm/agricultural field – Spanish: granja – Dominican also: conuco (Arawak origin), finca

* convenience store – Spanish: tienda de ultramarinos – Dominican also: colmado (this is an archaism seldom used in Spanish also), and pulpería

* trash can – Spanish: bote de basura – Dominican also: zafacón (used also in Puerto Rico; possibly a corrupted anglicism of safety can)

* tree – Spanish: árbol – Dominican also: mata

* disposable diaper – Spanish: pañal desechable – Dominican also: Pamper (Many Spanish-speaking countries use this term, including in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and in Central America. It is also believed to be a genericized term deriving from a trademark.)

BRILLIANT.

Have you guys seen that e-mail chain that shows some official Dominican IDs with ridiculous names base on English words pronounced in Spanish?

On some guys ID, his legal name is Usnavy...which was take from a naval ship (U.S. Navy) :lol

[SuperAngelo64]

The more I think about it, the more I realize that Hispanics are just plain hardy folk. Like Dwarves but brown, and real.

On topic, sort of:

My grandfather is from Nayarit, Mexico and he is hardy as fuck. He does things that I don't even really understand and try not to wrap my head around.

One time he caught a bee in mid flight and forced it to sting him in his radial artery, claiming that it's venom is good for you. What the shit?!

Someone once accidentally cleaved his hand with an axe. He wrapped it in a cloth held together with barbed wire and just let it heal on it's own.

He never went to see the doctor his entire life in the United States until everyone basically forced him to see one 2 years ago. Turns out he had fucking colon cancer. He ended up going into remission very quickly after chemo. He didn't think anything of it.

A month later he went back to work. Manual labor. He's 80.

I can't even fathom being that physically resilient.

 

[Nizz]

Oh man! I still get that sometimes, and I'm in my thirties. :lol :lol More like "don't take a shower after you eat because you'll get cramps". Kinda surprised at how many latino-GAF there are. I think I may be one of the few, if any, Puerto Ricans here.

actually in the play "in the heights" one of the main characters name is Usnavi.

Usnavi, the owner of a bodega in Washington Heights. He was named after the first boat his parents saw when they arrived in America which actually said "U.S. Navy." He dreams of going to the Dominican Republic, his parents' homeland. That dream was almost a reality until he realizes that the barrio is his true home. Abuela Claudia, the neighborhood matriarch, practically raised him. He is in love with Vanessa.

Well, we refer to it as confleis, which is essentially the same bastardization. :lol

That's not Hardy my friend...That's just being thirsty...thirsty for life!

Stay thirsty my friends.

Hispanics live longer because they aren't slaves to fast food like white and black americans are. Their traditional food is healthier than soul food.

Ah, I always bust up laughing when I see a Burger King on the road... It always makes me remember the time that I was living at my grandma's house. She was going to take us to eat for the afternoon...

"So, kids! Where do you want to eat?" - Spanish, btw.
"McDonald's!"
"Wendy's!"
"Burger King!

"Okay, we'll go to Martin Luther King's!"

:lol :lol :lol

[PoliceCop]

It can be a fact and offensive at the same time, you know. Many sterotypes are from real things, and because they are offensive, we try to change it.

So we should ignore facts because they're offensive? Alright. I think a lot of Hispanics should have less kids. I think the same thing about a lot of Irish families, and I'm of Irish descent. Don't make me no racist.
