Got Tripe

[SAMIAM]

Pickled tripe is not everyones favorite food,but several regulars have asked for it and we finally got some in.
I'm saving a piece for tis.

[Chickie]

I haven't had tripe in a hundred years. I tried it for the first time at Bill's Diner, which was a popular eating place in downtown Laconia back in the day. Always used to turn up my nose (with an accompanying "yuck"} at the mention of the name before that time. Once I tried it, I found to my surprise that I really liked it. It has to be fried to a crispy golden brown to be good, though, and Bill's knew how to prepare it to perfection.

[tis]

NO WAY!!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!! I can't believe you finally were able to get some! We will be there ASAP-in the next few days!!! Could you save more than one for my friends and family????

[Happy Gourmand]

Back when I was in the food business, we used to get it in about a 6 gallon wooden barrel. Does it still come that way?

[SIKSUKR]

You guys are a lot braver than me.I'll pass on eating stomach.For wholesale it typically comes in a plastic 5 gallon bucket.

I never said I ever ate it!!

[Flyfisha]

OK help me out here where are you located?? I have not been able to find pickled tripe in years!! Would love to come and get some this weekend!! Thanks

[tis]

It looks awful like that, but when it is served with the batter, it doesn't look bad at all. And it is SOOO yummy!! My mouth has been watering all day. We are working on coming Thurs night with friends. My brother wants to come but he is sick from chemo so he might have to wait until next week. So I guess I will just have to suffer and come twice in a few days. Oh well----------

Phantom,we buy it in 10lb pails.....very hard to find.Comes from Bean and Sons from Bangor Maine.I believe they are they only people left in the country that are still making it.
Flyfisha,we are on rt 25 in Moultonborough.We serve it during lunch and dinner,thursday-saturday.

Does the tripe that you serve come from a certain animal?

The only way to eat tripe (pronounced ta-ree-pay in central Sicily).

I will stick with Canoe's version of Calamari!

[jmen24]

Tripe falls under a similar category for me as Red Flannel Hash and Salmon Pea Wiggle! At some point in your life (as a child), you had to eat it, but as an adult you know better.

For those that love it, enjoy!

I Am going to have turkey croquettes at the VK and leave the tripe to Tis!

[tis]

You just don't know what you are missing! Phoenix, it is funny you mention fish because the waitress at the VK would tell you after you ordered the tripe that it is not fish. Apparently people that don't know must think it is fish from looking at the menu, is that right Sam? Vita, if you want to meet us there, I will gladly give you a taste of mine to try. You too, Jmen. IMO the tripe itself doesn't have a lot of flavor. It is the vinegar and the coating you really taste I think. Anyway, if you guys don't like it, it is more for us!

[Greene's Basin Girl]

All this talk about tripe, haddock, salmon, and calamari is making me sick. I don't eat any of those things. I would eat turkey croquettes if the turkey was all white meat. I think you can sense that I am a picky eater. I will eat any vegetables along with white meat chicken, white meat turkey, pork, and beef. Oh- and of course I eat all pasta's and rice.

I have to agree...That and a few pieces of crusty Italian bread...Yummy!

[SIKSUKR]

Google "tripe for sale" and see that most of the first page is tripe food for dogs!I used to buy thousands of pounds in my former meat manufacturing life.I'll leave it for the dogs thank you.More for you!

[Rusty]

Any food product that has to be thoroughly scrubbed, scalded with hot water, and soaked in a peroxide/acid liquid to turn it white from the naturally greyish color of "washed" or Grey" tripe, isn't something that I would want to eat.

Hey tis, would you take some pictures of the tripe for us?

[tis]

You know if you think about what is in hotdogs would you ever really eat one? Much of our meat I wouldn't eat if I thought about what is in it or how it is prepared for us.

It looks just like a slab of haddock when it is served to you one the plate, Rusty. I will try to remember to take a pic tonight when I go.

You're right tis.

Enjoy the stomach tonight and I'm looking forward to the pictures (if you can).

[Chickie]

There seems to be a stigma associated with eating and liking tripe. Ya don't know what you're missing.

[tis]

It was SO yummy! You are so right, Chickie, they don't know what they are missing!!!

Way off base here tis. I purchased and formulated hot dogs for my family business for 10 years. There is NO offal(any by product not being skeletal muscle) products unless it is listed in the ingredients. A typical formula consisted of 90% lean bull meat, 50% lean pork trim and 95% lean veal to finish with a 28% fat content. That's what you will find in a quality frank. If there is soy, lips, hearts, tongues, or heaven forbid tripe it would have to be shown.

[tis]

Yes, sik, you had GOOD hotdogs! I love YOUR kind of hotdogs. But others???? Who knows? Worse than tripe? And besides, is stomach and worse than rump?

Yes, tripe is worse than a good rump steak.

My Wife and her sister and I love fried Tripe and had it as children growing up, I personally liked mine rinsed off and raw.
Anyway my question is, we have always had it fried which is out of this world. But some Italian friends of ours say that they have only had it in a sauce over pasta(like your photo), now when it is fried you can taste the vinegar flavor from it being pickled, but our friends say they cannot taste the vinegar when served in a sauce. Do you find this to be true?

I can't remember ever seeing pickled tripe growing up. Tripe was always bought fresh and then cleaned, boiled for some time before a long braise in garlic and olive oil then added to the sauce to simmer with the rest of the meats. It's not eaten as much because, like all organs, it's loaded with cholesterol and it takes a bit of work and time to prepare.

[tis]

Riverat, take the trip up to the VK then to have some. IT is so good. I would like to have it again tonight! The waitress who was great by the way, told us that she had a lot of people asking for it this spring.

Awful looking stuff...It looks like the sea sponge that some people use when they take a bath.

[phoenix]

Tis you are probably right but by the way generally they don't regularly have grilled haddock and was told they plan to start having fish tacos so I think I will stay away from the tripe

[riverat]

I don't remember it pickled either but it all seems to be nowadays
