I love Tripe! One of my favorite foods growing up. My mother just boils it, chop it into pieces and eat it with a fermented fish paste/sauce. It's good to me. It really doesn't have much flavor, kinda like chewing rubber. I'm glad I was raised around eating organ meats. I'll eat anything.
I like it too, but clean, and I can't seem to find it.
I was lucky growing up, you could say. My Mother prepared brains at least once, sweetbreads, liver, we ate lung and marrow, she made tripe too I think once, we ate giblets and hearts, we ate them plain, not in gravy, nothing fermented except sour cream though, a leftover from unprocessed milk days. Lol, my Dad made sure we ate a little of a lot of different kinds of animals too.
Anyway, I bought more tripe now, but less pounds this time, and I explained to them first that again I want it only fresh not frozen but this time washed, even power washed; because the poopy-like stuff offends my household. They sent me frozen poopy stinking tripe in lots of water frozen. They charged less per pound. I complained verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry clearly. They said they will let everyone know at their company and this won't happen to me again. I wonder though, will they do it to other people?
