Tripe

[Equus5O]

Does anyone have a good tripe recipe to share?

I have heard of folks dredging it in flour and frying with salt, pepper and garlic.
We always ate it cold from the refrigerator, especially on a hot day outdoors working. The noon meal would consist of switchell, tripe, pickles, baked beans and bread. It kept you from dehydrating, ginger would keep away the nausea and with molasses it was rich in potassium to prevent cramping.

Do you pre-cook it before the frying, and snacking cold from the fridge?

When I've made it with red sauce and ziti, I've boiled it first. I still don't have it down to a science. I don't know if I'm over- or under-cooking it, because it's usually still tough.

I don't even eat tripe

<gag>

My gram used to bread it and fry it. It was pickled tripe though...

What we get is pickled, never fresh, and its eaten cold from the frigerater like you'd eat pickles. To be honest I have never heard it being cooked until I'd gotten older! I don't believe I'd like it either, especially being cooked- only because I've never had it that way.
