Pagkaing Pinoy-Kare-Kare (Beef Tripe)


Tripe is a type of edible offal made from the stomach of various domestic animals. Beef tripe is typically made from the first three of a cow's four stomachs, the rumen (blanket/flat/smooth tripe), the reticulum (honeycomb and pocket tripe), and the omasum (book/bible/leaf tripe).

Different countries have different tripe recipes. Here is one Filipino recipe.
