What I don't particularly like is the dish called "beef
tripe," often found in dim-sum restaurants. This is usually
an assortment of various internal organs, only one of which
is tripe. I'm not fond of most of the others.

In Chinese it's called "beef mixed", meaning a mix of organ
meats. The
translation is at fault.

The restaurant that I have mentioned, Bob's Shabu-Shabu, has
some interesting things in addition to its namesake dish, like
"Pork Intestine over Rice" and "Spicy Pig Blood with Tripe",


I've never had pig blood, but I've had duck blood. I like it a lot.


that I've not had the nerve to try but the dishes I have had
were good. Those who have memories of the bath time scrubber
might like to try "Loofha with Clam".


Loofah is a zucchini-like vegetable fairly commonly seen in Chinese
markets and restaurants. It's pretty bland and doesn't taste at all
like bathtub sponges.
