Last week it was chitterlings, this week it's tripas. According to the
USDA steablishment stamp "3D", these are packaged by the Swift Beef
company. You can look up the codes/numbers he

http://www.fsis.usda.gov/regulations/Meat_Poultry_Egg_Inspection_Directory/index.asp'

Soemtimes this is the only way to identify the manufacturer/packeger of a
product. And in this case, the species, too.

Behold, the Tripas:

These were fresh, but I froze them last night becausde I didn't know when I
was going to have the guts <cough> to cook them. I'm prewtty sure this is
just going to be one 10ft length of intestines when I unpackage. These
will probably require some serious cleaning and boiling in a few waters.

Any reicpe suggestes for these? Braunschweiger casings?

I think I'll make tomorrow "Stink up the House Day".

Well if you don't eat it, then it could be used as a siphon tube
perhaps 'cause after all it is the connecting tube between the two
sections of a cow's stomach. Enjoy your cow guts.
