Tripe the recipe
"In a large pot combine the tripe, vinegar and enough water to cover the tripe by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the tripe is tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 days "
There are actually lots of recipes for tripe. Susan Mangigian, an ActiveRain member in Pensylvannia and I were chatting about tripe on Inna Hardison's featured post:
Swimming in the Rain takes BALLS - deal with it...
Terry a member in British Columbia called Inna's post tripe? Or perhaps Terry was not calling Inna's post tripe. Perhaps looking for a recipe for tripe? Calling something "tripe" is not complementary?
Tripe the food is stomach... or guts? from a cow, sheep, pig. Perhaps other animals? Offal? I think so.
Tripe the recipe - Haggis
Did you know the Scottish taste treat Haggis is tripe? Trawling for tripe? Paul Slaybaugh in AZ may know his tripe. The Scott... Scotts in Scottsdale is related to Scottland the country? I had not make a connection. Someone from Scottland retired to AZ? Paul was offering Haggis on Facecbook recently... Haggis is cooked in a sheeps stomach...
According to the Wikipedia listing for tripe the food, not the insult... there are lots of different ways to cook tripe... lotsa recipes, Kenyan, Pensylvannia Dutch, Nigerian, German, Polish, Romanian, Spanish, Portuguese, Irish, English, French. Scottish.... Haggis is there.
Tripe the recipe - cut and paste content for your blog
Did you know if you cut and paste a recipe to ActiveRain you can NOT take points for it? Haven't been able to since sometime in 2008 (?) Seriously! It's in the guidelines... there is a guidleline link on the bottom of every page of ActiveRain.
From the AR guidelines about posting recipes, jokes, inspirational quotes:
"The point system is intended to encourage and reward genuine effort. Points for blogging will only be awarded for your own majority original content. Examples of what doesn't qualify for points: jokes, recipes, inspirational quotes, poems, re-published marketing materials like newsletters, press releases and news articles, information from government websites, bible verses, large copied sections of the MLS, or posts that only contain links and keywords, but offer no value for consumers."
ActiveRain is for majority original content... not for cutting and pasting something someone else published somewhere. I think pretty much from the very beginning but at some point they looked at it and added a guideline saying in effect "don't take points for recipes, jokes, etc."
Jon Zolsky (Inna's father, did you know that?) wrote about recipes recently... Jon's post got featured. Will you Reblog a Recipe?
Well actually Jon if it was a tripe recipe how could I resist Re-Blogging?
Tripe the recipe - turns out there's lotsa tripe recipes
So if you came here looking for a tripe recipe you are going to have to use this link to get to the recipe for Roman-Style Tripe Trippa alla Romana on the Food Network, from Mario Batali. I am NOT cutting and pasting a recipe here.... I don't believe I have ever posted a recipe to ActiveRain.
I was sure Susan's mother cooking tripe was a Pensylvannia thing not an Italian thing... even though I don't know where Susan grew up...I assumed PA. First tripe recipe I run into is Trippa alla Romana..
