My neihbor just brought me a pan full of it. Eating it now. Kinda funky. I donno about the texture of it.

and following my instincts I will now be avoiding tripe in the future. I recommend you do the same. Brussel sprouts all the way!

roflmao!

Perhaps a nice prairie oyster is more to your liking.

I don't know about the tripe soup that you had but I like Menudo which is a mexican soup made with tripe. Good for hangovers...not that I'd know anything about that...

Tripe.

Is that the stuff with the ground up peckers in it? In a soup? :no:

Tripe, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripe

Thank God I went shopping today at the local German butcher shop / smoke house. Venison kielbasa went great with the Triscuts on the ride home. Tripe redemption I do have. My neighbor is an old Yugoslavian lady, Natasha. Guess in harder times any food was acceptable.

Good Menudo :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Make sure its the "honey cone" tripe and don't eat the fake corn called "Hominy"
Or like I do, just do the juice.

There's an old expression: "tougher than tripe." IIRC, tripe is the lining of a cow's stomach, or at least of one of them (cows have four).
