Ok, so this may sit on the 'comedy' side of things... Years ago, I remember my dad used to eat 'tripe and vinegar'. I never tried it, but I like vinegar, so I always said I liked it! Oh yes, tripe and vinegar ~ never had it, but being a brave little boy , I said I loved it! Well; years of 'talk' has caught up with me; I have just collected one and a half pound (lb) of tripe from my dad, and I will HAVE to eat it tomorrow... Hmmn, in reality, the idea of 'tripe' makes me feel a little sick, but... maybe after tomorrow I'll feel different.... I hope In fact, do people outside of England and Italy eat 'tripe' at all???

To be honest I never heard of it until today. I had to look tripe up to know what it was. I know some people when they make sausage take the intestines, clean them then use them to hold the sausage. Let us know how it tastes. Blessings Lisa

I can tell you h ow it tastes. Tripe or tripas as it is known in southern California is the most foul-tasting, slimy, yucky mess you will ever have the misfortune to put in your mouth. There you have it in plain language. Of course you must remember this is just one man's opinion. There are people who actually like it and much to my dismay actually eat the stuff.
There is a Mexican meal that is a big deal in this area. It is called Menudo. The primary ingredient is tripe or tripas. It is such a "thing" the local restaurants that sell it only make it on certain days (usually the weekend) and they have lines of vehicles at the drive throughs when it is available. (Turns my stomach just thinking about it.)
Menudo is best known for it's folk-lore like powers of curing hangovers. Hence the propensity to sell it on weekends,
If you get it passed your nose I shall say a prayer for you.
In Christ, George

Brother George, Your post made me just laugh...growing up on a farm, we were used to "innerds" being disguised as hamburger or swiss steak, if there was no white package around we knew Mom was up to her invention of a new way to fix "innerds" we kids were onto her....I think the worst thing she made was squirrel spaghetti...
Now, at 51, I still refuse to eat peas of any kind, won't touch innerds or any type of meat I deem as an innerd nor will I purchase it....I think I am old and set in my ways..
My Dad, bless his hear loved calf brains and scrambled eggs...oh my those would never in a squillion years touch my taste buds...

My son bought some Menudo (tripe,) in a chicken soup base and told Darlene, "Mmmm, Mama, I had some really good chicken noodle soup!" When he showed it to her at our local grocer, we got a kick out of it. "Those aren't noodles, son." But's he's pretty stout and it didn't phase him. I remember my dad eating pickled pigs feet. He'd also eat scrambled eggs and ... gulp...brain. He'd say, "Mmmm, have some, son, it'll make you smart." ;D

I'd forgotten about this thread!
I did manage to eat that tripe. I had it swimming in vinegar. I cut it up into small pieces and just swallowed it! I never really tasted anything but vinegar.
I don't think tripe will be on my regular shopping list...

Well, I'd heard of tripe but didn't really know what it was. I'm not a very big fan of eating 'innards' either but my grandmother used to make the best steak & kidney pie which I loved. My grandfather says he loves eating lamb's tongues and I believe him as he eats them quite a lot.
I don't think people eat tripe in Australia. I think my father's probably eaten it before as his family raised animals for meat when he was a child. Every time I go back to England my relatives make me eat something that they think I've missed out on living in Australia - like kidney, nettles, or pheasant. Actually, the pheasant was quite nice...

No Sister Debbie, tripe is the lining of the inside of a cow's stomach. Now if that doesn't make your stomach turn I don't know what would.
In Christ, George
