I cooked tripe for the first time yesterday. I found thy site because I was looking for other YUMMY thing to do with tripe.
I cooked it in the crock pot for 36 hours with beef broth onions hot peppers and s/p. Then I fried it quickly in a pan.
DAM it was GOOD.

I’ve eaten tripe in menudo and with marinara sauce. Here in southwestern Pennsylvania, the Italian Club in Muse offers a spaghetti dinner as well as one made of tripe in marinara sauce. It’s quite good. But this comes from someone who also likes liver, sweetbreads and kidney. I’ll pass on brains, however.

Ummmm…. yeah. That’s pretty disgusting. You did it wrong.
Many moons ago, as a young bride who didn’t know any better, I honored my husbands request to cook up some tripe for him.
“What’s tripe?!” I asked.
“I think it’s the inside of a cow stomach,” he said.
Me: “How do you cook it?”
Him: “In spaghetti sauce”
Me: “Oh. Okay.”
For some reason it came out very tasty. I don’t remember exactly how I cooked it, but I seem to remember boiling it in water for a long time, then slicing it into more or less bite-size strips, then cooking it in sauce for a while longer. It was kind of like eating a bowl of pasta - al dente, not mooshy. Tasted good. And the dead-animal aroma that filled my home from preboiling it eventually faded away. You just have to give it a day or two.

I had tripe & onions for dinner only yesterday it was delicious I cook it by adding water, onions, salt and cook for a hour or so then add cornflour to thicken the sauce it comes out firm but tender add a few potatoes with it and your off - wonderful stuff if I have not eaten it for a month or two I get withdrawal syptoms - but then you may think I’m mad!

I have eaten tripe all my life and love it my husband can’t stand it.

We now live in Spain and can freely by tripe but you have to soak it here for a minimum of two hours so maybe because some of you have to cook it for so long try soaking it for two to three days changing the water every day of course and it may save on electricity or gas bills.

Try: http://www.tripesite.com/lore.html

fascitnating stuff to find out about tripe … B’ZILLION ways to make it (SOMETHING’S gotta come out better than what you ended up with) and you’ll find out why yours came out so mushy.
I tried to find something about a tripiere online though, and could only come up with sites in French (which I don’t know) in spite of having specified only those in English.

Trust *you people* to ruin the best of basic ingredients by overcooking/boiling them and pretend you’ve made an effort by adding some butchered onions in the mix…tsk!

Try ‘Patsas’ soup in Greece with loads of chilli flakes and red wine vinegar, or ‘Ciorba de Burta’ with lovely crusty bread in the mountains in Romania..a bit like most people described so far (re: Italy, Poland, Taiwan etc) a bit chewy, but not any moreso than, say, baby squid.

Seriously, give it another go!
