Tripe, onions and mash was a favourite of my mothers. I can't stand it but cook it very occasionally as a treet for my OH.

I used to eat chitterlings with a bit of vinegar as a child but don't think i could eat them now, not that many shops sell them.

Viktoria's comments brought back memories. Yes we had tripe just as it came from the shop with vinegar and salad. I was always told that tripe was very good for people in poor health and those whose stomach was a bit delicate. I had an aunt who used to make cow heel stew though, happily, I never had to eat it. I couldn't eat anything like tripe now - it looks disgusting and I'm not a great meat eater anyway so the thought of it is not pleasant.

The unappealing Mrs Booker in George Orwells Road To Wigan Pier was a Tripe dealer.   Read Orwells description of her, the premises and the conditions of how the tripe was kept.  It would make todays Health and Safety conscious consumers shudder with disbelief!

WOW!!
Thank you all. I didn't expect such a rich and informative source of information. i think my 3x great grandmother sold tripe as a 'take away' - already cooked and sold to the navvies who were building the railway in Bangor in the 19th c.
I have tasted it on a cycling trip to Normandy in the autumn. It was called Tripe de Caen and it was knee deep in cider and calvados! The chef explained that the windfall apples were eaten by the cow before being slaughtered and this added to the taste.
Thank you all so much.

I used to love tripe and onions, or the other kind of tripe eaten cold with vinegar when I was a child.  However, I couldn't stand chitterlings or pig's trotters or cow heel (too slimy), brain was OK, tongue I like and still do.

I asked for tripe in a restaurant in France once, and it was disgusting.  I think it might have been chitterlings, anyhow I sent it back and ordered something else.  Being French, they didn't mind and didn't charge me for two meals either.

In 1977 I was advised to feed my kitten tripe cooked in milk.
I used the pressure cooker, but I remember how much I hated the smell.
I only did a few times as it was so awful!!  :P

Quite a few years ago we were travelling in the South of France France and booked into an Auberge or small inn. We decided to have the dish of the day each night during our short stay. Dinner that evening  arrived which looked like tagliatelle or strips of pasta in a creamy sauce. I remember tasting the sauce and finding that it was absolutely delightful. I then cut a strip of what I thought was the pasta and found the taste to be truly disgusting, greasy and slimy. I called over the waiter and in my broken French asked him what it was. "Les tripes monsieur" , he said gesturing his stomach as if to indicate that it was entrails. We then upgraded ourselves from dish of the day to the a la carte menu!

Tripe can also be treated to make handbags as this advert describes:
