Hmong people use the stomachs of the cow that can be used to make the traditional beef soup, literally “cow-poo soup” which is made of beef stomach, intestines, and organ meat. Pictured below is a photo of the stomachs being cleaned out.
During Hu Plig events, fruits, eggs, and assorted candy and crackers are placed on a tray decoratively. In the middle, there are flowers, usually white to represent cleansing.
