"It's very important to keep these traditions alive." 11/13/19 A Brotherhood in Portugal United by a Love of Tripes The people of Porto, Portugal, are proud of their Porto-style tripe. They've been eating it for 600 years. It's a hearty dish made up of tripe⁠—that's cow's stomach⁠—as well as chewy bits of pig's ear, cow's feet, beans and carrots. The traditional meal almost disappeared after the mad cow disease outbreak in the early aughts. But Manuel Moura, a restaurant owner, wouldn't let Porto-style tripe die. He started a gastronomical brotherhood to defend and promote it.  This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis. Mexico's Café de Olla Has Its Roots in Revolution When Giusy invites you to her home in Mexico City for coffee, you say yes. That's because she makes the sweetest brew. It's called café de olla, and it dates back to the Mexican Revolution. Giusy makes it the traditional way—in a tall clay pot with panela (raw sugar) and cinnamon. And just when you think this coffee date couldn't get any better, you find out she serves her café de olla with fresh tamales. If there is one thing people everywhere love, it just might be coffee. All week long, we'll be getting our caffeine fix from Vietnam to Ethiopia in our latest season of "Around the World."
