Category : Tripe

Tripe is the edible lining of the stomach from various animals, most commonly cows (beef tripe). It is a traditional ingredient in many cuisines worldwide, valued for its chewy texture and ability to absorb flavours from other ingredients. There are different types of tripe depending on the stomach chamber it is sourced from, such as honeycomb tripe (from the reticulum) or blanket tripe (from the rumen). Typically, tripe requires thorough cleaning and extended cooking to become tender. It is used in dishes like soups, stews, and curries, such as *tripe à la mode de Caen* in France or *menudo* in Mexico.
