It's a "delicacy", which is just a horrible misnomer for "leftover
bits that you usually wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole".  :^)

Actually, menudo--i.e, tripe soup, not the erstwhile boyband, nor 
loose change--is seen often enough in Latino cooking.  The French
use tripe in various local dishes (consider tripe à la lyonnaise).
Or how about Luxemburgish Kuddelfleck?  Or Irish tripe with onions?

Of course, familiarity with tripe doesn't mean we eat it, even
on rare occasions.  :^)  And this, despite personally having eaten
brains, sweetbreads, liver, sow's ear, blood sausages, snails,
various mollusks and crustaceans.
