Who's had buche?

I just had a pile of buche that I bought from a Mexican market.  In broken English, the guy told me it was pork neck meat.  It was flat, about the size of a paper plate, somewhat thin, and extremely tender.  It appeared to have been braised.  He told me to put lime juice and salt on it.  Salsa, too.  So, I did.  He only sells it on Sat/Sun, so this will be my weekend treat.  Next time, however, it will be given a quick chop, and crisped a bit on the flat top, and put in a taco, or five.  Google revealed buche to be esophagus/neck, stomach, or offal, in general.  Photos next Saturday! 
 
Jeez here I was about to chip in thinking "I've had my fair share of bush"  But then I checked:  hmmmm not the bush I was thinking of.
 
OK.  Move along swiftly.  Nothing to see here.
