Tripe

My mother was a dreadful cook. She fed us tripe boiled in milk, and we all absolutely hated it.
My husband taught me to cook tripe with lots of onions and fresh parsley and a cheese sauce. Acceptable but uninspiring.
A pub meal cooked by an Italian peasant taught me that it was possible to enjoy eating tripe. She treated it like pasta and added lots of tomatoes, herbs and chili sauce. Yum!

What have others done with tripe?

I have never tried it, don't think I ever will.

Interesting thread though.

We got the brains too. Definitely not a fan. My late husband was, though, he'd order them in restaurants.

I tried it before. A Greek guy cooked it and told me if you don't cook it properly, ir's not desirable. His was Ok.

But I wouldn't go out of my way to find a place that serves it.

I invariably talk it, but never eat it.

I ordered tripe by accident in Portugal. It is okay, but I wouldn't buy it or order it concsiously.

My mum cooked it, very occasionally, and if done “properly”, with the appropriate accoutrements, it is tolerable but like liver it must not be over cooked.👍

Eek! Can’t imagine eating the stuff.
It was recommended for feeding to my German Shepherd dog back in the 80’s. It arrived in frozen blocks in a sack. As it thawed it had a most unappetising grey colour with a wiggly pattern

Has anyone ever eaten sheep brains? I was fed it as a child. It was pale, very soft and sweetish 🤢
Poles eat all sorts of stuff. We loved fried ...[text shortened]... into pieces, salted and cooked until crisp in butter. They actually moved in the pan as they fried 😮
