Does anyone still eat tripe these days?

[gregbrighton]

I hear some people eat it raw with vinegar.

Mostly it's fed to dogs nowadays?

I fancy some tripe

<--- it's made from cow

i had tripas in barcelona recently and that was quite nice.

 

[DavePage]

observations of comments pnly

Not at 3-33 in the morning, although i am peckish.

My mother gave us some once to show what they used to eat. We also had Brawn. The tripe made me gag. The texture was enough to put me off.

They bleach it in order to make it look in any way presentable.

Never ate it, but watched it at The Amex a few times this season

Tripe...the lining of a cows stomach...served with onions...popular dish up to the forties,as well as junket and rennet.

And the French.

I ordered an Andouillette sausage in Arras a few years ago which I didn't know at the time was partly made of tripe.

I was very nearly sick at the table. Disgusting.

My Mrs is from Manchester and she has it whenever we go up. They have shops and stalls that specialise in it.

It's absolutely gross.

I eat virtually anything except tripe and okra. They are horrible. On the TV programme Riverside Cottage he went to the abattoir and had to empty the grass out of the cows stomach to get at the tripe.

I love Andouillete. A real mans sausage!

There is a lot more written on here than you will ever see at the AMEX.

I've had before. It's not bad. I remember having some in a hot dog once in Santiago- it added an interesting texture.

Last time I was in London I walked through a market in Dalston and there was plenty of tripe on display. It was grey and looked extremely unappetising. No bleach in use there.

Tried it ages ago. I naively thought it would be a bit like Yorkshire Pudding. I can eat most food but did not enjoy the experience at all.

What made you think it would taste like Yorkshire Pudding?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

You thought tripe- that's cow stomach- would taste like a crispy batter made from flour and eggs?

What on earth did you think it was?

I can believe it - I once had a friend who believed the roe you get at chip shops (in breadcrumbs) was something to do with chicken. Diving out the way as he forcibly ejected from his mouth after I pointed out the truth is one of those golden memories of my youth

It looks like it.
