Tripas recipes (Intestines) ?

The Italians do wonderful things with innards. Google trippa ala romana and check out Mario Batali's recipe, or trippa alla fiorentina. Both versions cook tripe in tomato sauce to great effect. And lampredotto on a bun (stewed tripe) is a Florentine mainstay, kinda like roast beef poboys in NOLA, an essentially working class food held dear by many.

But first, you need to identify the sort of tripe you have: book/leaf? honeycomb? Etc. Many cultures around the world use the different parts in different dishes.

My dear departed Italian grandmother used to make it. One of these days I'm going to take a stab at it. Problem being, I'm sure I'd probably be the only one who'd eat it.

I've had Batali's at Babbo.

The only place in New Orleans I know where you could get it, is recently closed - A Mano.

Both were really good and really close to my grandma's version. So if I try, I'll use Batali's recipe.

i can only eat it ina corn tortilla with a shite ton of grilled onions
