Seymour M Hersh Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 My mum used to enjoy tripe occasionally and if I remember correctly she simmered it in milk with salt & pepper and that was about it. Used the cooking broth as a sauce over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Tripe is up there with Balut, Century Eggs, Casu Martzu, Hakarl and other such things. Nobody actually enjoys them. Eating those vile foods is only ever some sort of pathetic attempt to prove something to someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairneyhill Jambo Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 My mum used to make tripe with milk, onions, and plenty of black pepper served in a bowl with floury potatoes such as golden wonder.

My mum then chopped it up and boiled it I think. Stunk out the house. Then it was put in another pot with onions, boiled potatoes, milk and seasoned with salt and pepper. Served like a soup and I ate multiple bowls of the stuff. Delicious. This hmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had only been there a few weeks and had started to recognise basic characters. Recognised 炒 and 牛 on a menu, and knew it was 'fried' and 'cow'. Thought I'd ordered some kind of tasty fried beef dish with - in my mind - strips of lovely lean beef. Got fried tripe. Very quickly learned the relevant character for stomach and never made that mistake again. I also ordered it by mistake in a bar in Barcelona. There was no menu, so I just pointed at what I thought was potatoes in a tomato and pepper sauce; it wasn't potatoes though... Another time, Spanish friends ordered-up a plate of grilled lambs' intestines for us try as a dare. They were actually OK, as they were wound around a skewer with herbs and grilled until they were crispy: they really just tasted of lamb.

Cade Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Potted Hough is beef jelly containing beef shreds, usually shin. Brawn is pork jelly containing pork head meat.

I hated that place, to a kid everything they sold looked disgusting. That shop belonged to my grandad William Aikman. I would be sent there as a kid every Saturday morning to get meat inc tripe . You are right it looked disgusting and it was. If you thought it looked bad in the shop window you should have had a look in the back where the cows heads were hanging on racks. All skinned ready for the tongues to be cut out and the cheeks to be bared of meat. Their eyes wide open staring at you . The tripe was kept in cold water in two sinks near the back window. Nothing went to waste. The scraps were chopped up and mixed up in a steel bath and sold for dog meat. It was stinking right enough . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnrazor Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Raw, green unwashed tripe, the best dog food there is, bloody expensive now though, I used to get it for £1 per full ox tripe from the slaughter house at Saugton, ****in stinks mind!!!
