Tripe is an iffy product. Some folks do love it. Others are extremely turned off by it.
My wife loved it and other things as a child. She ordered it a few months ago thinking she would still like it, and after one attempted bite had to order something else.
She just couldn’t do it.
I'm thinkin' it's like Forest Gump said:
Tripe is the fruit of the cow. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. There's, um, tripe kebabs, tripe creole, tripe gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple tripe and lemon tripe, coconut tripe, pepper tripe, tripe soup, tripe stew, tripe salad, tripe and potatoes, tripe burger, tripe sandwich... That's, that's about it.”
