tripe and spaghetti sauce
 

Our local newspaper mentioned a nearby Italian organization that had
dinners on Sunday afternoon which featured spaghetti sauce made with
tripe. I have made soups with tripe in it before, and figure that for
spaghetti sauce you would just substitute the tripe for the hamburger
after having cooked the tripe for awhile to make it tender. Any
thoughts on this.

Thanks

I don't see why it would not work, IF you enjoy tripe.

I have yet to work up the courage to try it, and I'm adventurous with
food. <g>

I have thoughts, but no information.

Just finished off a batch of menudo - like most stews it ages well. I
would do that - make menudo or your regular tripe soup, dump a bunch
of tomato into the leftovers. You know how to make soup, you know how
to make sauce, just do both at once.

Tripe Di Calabria is my favorite tripe dish. I never make it because we
have some great mom & pop Italian places in the neighborhood that make
it. I have asked how to make it and this sounds pretty much like was
described to me:

I sometimes type faster than I think. Doesn't have to be tomato.
Tripe is interesting, a chewey tooth. I still have no actual new
information in the last four minutes.

I'm thinkin' ginger? Raisins? of course garlic. Some kinda
carribean/african kinda vibe.

Don't hold me to anything, I'm just spinning.

I've tried menudo. I liked everything *except* the tripe. I can't
get past the texture, yet I'm all over escargot and "sweetbreads"
whenever they're on the menu.

I think tomato sauce is as plausible as anything.

It should be kinda gummy like well cooked gristle?
I generally like that kind of texture.

Maybe that's what it could be if I liked it but that's not the texture
I remember. A combo of styrofoam and slime is more like it.

sf -

Menudo without the tripe isn't menudo. Pozole maybe?

Om - If some dead animal's foot presents in my market, or somehow
comes to my kitchen, I'm happy to eat it, but mostly, no. My menudo
is tripe, hominy, tomato then whatever. A recent thread here had me
add garbanzos to this last batch. Eh. Take 'em or leave 'em.

Ok, thanks. but personally, I've hated Hominy all my life!

The local Menudo recipes generally include split pigs feet, or maybe
calves feet.

In the context, yes. However, there is also Filipino menudo, which is a
different thing and contains no tripe of any kind. Here a recipe I once
posted. It is from
