    When I lived in Spain almost every bar, and most homes cooked tripe -

    Clean well and simmer in salted wated (add a few drops of vinegar) for a couple of hours - then cut into strips of 1 x 2 cm.
    Seperately saute onions with garlic and celery and when softened add a tin of chopped tomato and whatever herbs you like - add tripe and cook for a further hour or so. By this time it should be tender. Lots of my friends adore it this way - but although I know how to cook it, tripe is about the only food I really don't like at all.
    As for cooked in milk
    UUUUUURG horrrrible :eek:

    MWDog has a cushier life than the Fleago dogs and they would like to move in with MWDog :rotfl: They just get theirs raw! :D

    As an aside, donkey's years ago when I was at school the science teacher had the lights of a cow to show us how the lungs inflated etc. At the end of the class he asked who had a dog. I did, so the lights were wrapped up in newspaper and I proudly carried this haul off home, where my Mum cheerfully cooked them up and they were served to the dog :D Waste not, want not after all!

    I bet nowadays there are rules against giving children the innards of a beast to take home for the dog :rolleyes:

  • Sorry but the best recipe for tripe is "Nail the Tripe to a stout board, season well then bury the both of then in the Garden for at least two weeks" After that excavate the board and tripe - Eat the board, I cannot stand Tripe, makes me sick to think about it.

    Sorry.
    The quicker you fall behind, the longer you have to catch up...
  • I am a dedicated moneysaver but I would rather go into Boots tomorrow and pay full price for Time Delay than eat tripe .......urghhhhh....had it once as a child (we were very poor!) the memory will be with me forever. I will not eat it 23_146_31.gif but good luck to you! (surely Liver is a better option ??!)
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

    hi

    i hear on farming today that scotland is trying to bring back tripe...

    When i was small there used to be a whole tripe market in my town,

    but now no one seems to eat it...

    I have never tried to cook tripe but fancy the challenge....

    any suggestions?

    Hi artichoke,

    As your thread has fallen from the front page of Old Style, I've added it to the existing thread on tripe recipes which may help.

    Having been fed it when I was little (in those days you had a choice eat it or go hungry)I personally would wrap it tightly in clingfilm and newspaper and put it in the deepest dustbin I could find the furthest away from where I lived.
    Disgusting stuff I wouldn't even inflict on my worst enemy.But different strokes for different folks I guess
