Actually, the
Basque cook a dish like our menudo but they don't mix chile in it. My wife
cooks a great kettle of menudo and she is from Jalisco.
Also, I voted to
be less strict since many of us have parents or grandparents from different
Mexican states.

Poll
well it looks like a tight
race in our Poll. I still need quite a few to vote (remember only those
that have submitted their genealogies can vote) for this to be a valid
Poll. Looks like the "More Strict" rowdies are starting to catch up to
middle of the road "Stay the same" yahoos and have actually blasted by
the "Less Strict" Liberales. If I had known a vote would stir the pot
as much as its been stirred lately I'da had a poll every week. . .let me see
how about next week I have a poll on if its okay to talk about Nopales some
more as long as its Jalisco, Zacatecas, or Aguascalientes Nopales that are
prepared using recipes handed down from at least a G-grandparent? Actually I'm
so so so badly needing a big plato de Menudo that I can just imagine the
taste. But I can't introduce a topic on this because my favorite Menudo was
cooked by my Mom and she came from Chihuahua along with her roots going back
to Spain. Seems to me that my dad's side [Jalisco, Zacatecas] of the family
couldn't touch Chihuahua when it comes to Menudo. But let me not stray to far
off topic just say look on for the Poll results -
You can only vote if you have already submitted your
genealogy, but even if you haven't you can still influence by
giving your opinion via an email to the group (freedom of speech).
Question: Should the requirements for being a member of Ranchos be
More Strict (have your genealogy in hand to submit before being
accepted into the group); the same as now; or less Strict? I will
not change anything unless 75% of the permanent members vote and
if I get 60% of those voting to vote for one of the choices.
Your vote is shown above. You can change your vote
until the poll is concluded.
