that is kind of how I discovered huitalcoche in Mexico City - we were in a restaurant that had been highly recommended to us by some natives of the city - and I did not see one thing on the menu I liked ( mind you , I'm from texas - and I know a LOT of great mexican food - and I'm not talking tex-mex). I looked over at the next table - and having a little altitude sickness and probably a wee bit much tequila at lunch - spied some great looking black bean and cheese tacos. WHOOPS ! One of the few times, I have almost thrown up in my plate ! I will just say that the translation of it's name is apropos !

NOTHING could be grosser than the sausage we had in France last fall-- it was served as an appetizer by the chef on the barge and he even came out himself with the tray, saying this was a special treat, a regional classic. He stood there beaming proudly while we tried it, and then proceeded to tell us the ingredients as we bit into it, which forced us to sidle over to the railing and spit it overboard as surreptitiously as possible, though some never made it that far. Thank God for cocktail napkins.
I think it was called andouillette- and is made from tripe, which is a nasty thought to begin with.
