Had a tripe burrito for breakfast this morning. When properly marinated and prepared this is a severely under-appreciated cut of meat.

All the tripe and pickled pigs foot eaters rise up and unite!

Tripe is one thing I don't really care for. Had some in menudo at that taqueria on Siegen, and the chewiness/texture along with the hominy just didn't agree with me.

I did eat the smothered pig tails special at Delpit's Chicken Shack yesterday though

My dad made tripe a few times when I was a kid. Smelled awful while it was cooking, but I loved the flavor and texture.

Yes, I have been that drunk and hungry.

Nope. I'll pass out before I'm that drunk and hungry.

Marinated, sautéed in onions/garlic, and shredded for a burrito will change you doubters' minds! Vive la tripe!

Perhaps... unfortunately I don't know to buy it like that, and I'm surely not going to make it myself.

cut of meat.
I'm not sure I'd call it meat. More like organ.

I like it but preparation is crucial. I grew up on menudo where it was very tender. Most places I've had here do it wrong and it is too chewy.

The pho I've had with tripe was not very good. The tendon is much better in pho.

My departed Italian grandma used to do a version in a tomato sauce that was tender and not chewy. It's definitely an acquired taste, but I grew to like it. A Mano in the WH District does a version pretty similar. So does Babbo in NY.

I actually like the chewy pieces in Pho as well, though. But maybe that's just cause it's so trendy and I'm swept up in that and just kidding myself that I really like it.

I'm not sure the stomach qualifies as an organ. Then again, I regard the heart as a tasty-yet-in-need-of-tenderization muscle.

Bottom line, folks, is that all it takes to turn boot leather into fois gras is the proper treatment. Tripe is an under-appreciated cut of meat. And my breakfast was freakin awesome!
