Incorrect

I THOUGHT TRIPE WAS COW VAGINA.

Haggis

Removed reference to Haggis - haggis is heart/lung/liver/oatmeal cooked in a cleaned sheeps stomach, but the stomach part (the tripe) is not eaten.

dialectical use

i'm certain this isn't a Yorkshire-ism in any way but a slightly outmoded usage in standard English. i haven't got instances on hand but i will find them W guice 16:32, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed -- I am from New York and I have heard (and used) this word as a synonym for ‘crap’ enough times to be sure it isn’t limited to a region of the UK. It’s not a common word in my experience but I think most people at least know what it means here. 209.6.18.196 00:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

nutritional info

The information on tripe is missing the nutritional benefits for people and pets. Please provide them. I see tripe added to high end dog food, but would like to know why. - Laurabutler23 12:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

In an analysis of a sample of green tripe by a Woodson-Tenant Lab in Atlanta, Georgia, it was discovered that the calcium:phosphorous ratio is 1:1, the overall pH is on the acidic side which is better for digestion, protein is 15.1, fat 11.7 and it contained the essential fatty acids, Linoleic and Linolenic, in their recommended proportions. Also discovered, was the presence of Lactic Acid Bacteria. Lactic Acid Bacteria, also known as Lactobacillus Acidophilus, is the good intestinal bacteria. It is the main ingredient in probiotics.

I don't think we can use this if it isn't referenced? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.79.208.77 (talk) 08:42, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Phở

Phở does not contain tripe and should not be in the list, nor should haggis and I'm unsure about butifarra.

I disagree, the most elaborate form of pho contains five forms of beef, including pale white honeycomb tripe

The Pho in Philadelphia may contain tripe....

Pho CAN contain tripe, it is a personal preference as Pho Bo (Beef Pho) can contain several different types of beef and beef parts or be as basic as noodles and broth with vegetable condiments (bean sprouts, cilantro, ngo gai, and other greens, fried onions, and sweet soaked shallot). It is not uncommon to find tripe being eaten with Pho Bo in a traditional Vietnamese family.

Exactly, Phở should be taken off the list. Phở refers to the noodle soup, whatever you add to it, such as tripe, is just an option. Otherwise, why not include pasta, rice, etc? --Kvasir (talk) 17:07, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Honeycomb Tripe

I've seen beef lungs sold as "honeycomb tripe," though I am not at all certain that this is what the term is supposed to mean. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.224.244.181 (talk) 03:03, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

References

C'mon, Wikipedia is getting ridiculous. Does tripe need references or sources? Tripe is tripe. This is where Wikipedia completely falls apart. You can't even trust a simple fact, something that's part of cooking in every country in the world, because there are no "references or sources" on tripe. How about the Merriam-Webster dictionary, or an episode of A Cook's Tour, or how about somebody just frickin' accept that tripe is what it is WITHOUT having to have PROOF of what it is. PS: Phở was made with tripe on A Cook's Tour. 68.229.184.37 02:27, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Only Phở sách bò refers to tripe specifically. Phở by itself is too generic for this article. --Kvasir (talk) 17:24, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Partial tidy

Probably every exponent of cultural vanity will howl but I've tried to systematize the list of tripe dishes. At least it's easier to read as far as I have got so far--SilasW 20:11, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

That book link at the bottom...

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with tripe; it looks like it's a sort of "philosophical memoir," and the only reference to tripe is the title, which is using the word in the colloquial sense of "low-quality material." There *might* be some reason to leave the book here, so I'm hesitant to delete it outright (especially with how little I do on Wikipedia) -- but could someone more experienced take a look at it?

accuracy questions

I added "deer" to the list of animals tripe can be made from as I've seen cat/dog food that is labelled as Venison tripe (and by Venison they meant deer, which is another question as wiki has venison = cow, but that's a question for another page). What I wonder is whether that means that "domesticated animals" should actually read "ruminating animals," since to the best of my understanding deer aren't considered domesticated (I unfortunately don't read italian so I couldn't check the reference), but I think all the animals tripe is made from are ruminants... Thoughts anyone? Kengwen (talk) 16:58, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Reference to "tacos de tripa" should be removed as tripa is something completely different

Tripas and the sometimes used diminuative form Tripitas are made from cow small intestine and should not be referenced in this article. These are generally prepared by grilling on a disco (disc).

This article is about the honeycombed patterned cow stomach lining usually used in making menudo and prepared by boiling .

Therefore the sentence referring to "tacos de tripa" as being prepared from crunchy fried tripe is incorrect- they are prepared from crunchy fried TRIPAS. This entry thus belongs in the wikipedia article: "Tripas."

I Don't Read Italian

Several online dictionaries give the origin of the word as: 1- Middle English, from Anglo-French First Known Use: 14th century. 2-[Middle English, from Old French tripes, intestines, tripe.]3-[from Old French, of unknown origin]. None give it as coming to English from the Italian. Are there any English sources for an Italian origin? Nitpyck (talk) 06:26, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Other Animals

I have no idea what the second sentence in the "other animals" section at the moment is supposed to mean, or I'd fix it: I guess the implication is that tripe can only be goat skin if it is bright pink? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bentarm123 (talk • contribs) 02:43, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

pacha

Why does Iraqi pacha link to a Spanish nightclub? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.116.145.194 (talk) 06:05, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Pomegranate Tripe

Pomegranates have tripe too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.221.181.197 (talk) 05:01, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

"Green trip"

would be useful if this was mentioned. Perhaps in the section on preparation. --142.163.195.5 (talk) 13:41, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
