There's nothing wrong with
tripe. In fact, cow's tripe is very
tasty. I had some yesterday for
lunch. Just like the
liver,
heart and other animal
organs that are prepared for
human consumption, they are thoroughly cleaned before being cooked. Yeah, I eat
goose kidney too. You know what's been inside those?
In any case, before cooking tripe myself, I usually soak it in hot water and scrub it a bit for an hour, just to make sure it's clean. Tripe is actually very tasty, especially when spiced up with vinegar and peppers. You should go and try it yourself.
In fact, all these taboo foods are so very tasty. Brain. Tripe. Liver. Tongue. Kidney. Pigeon. Quail. Dog. Cat. Mouse. Snake. You people are missing out some good food. Oh well, not my loss.....
Here's a joke about us Cantonese people: They work hard at any job, but they would suck at zookeeping.
