[edit] Incorrect

I THOUGHT TRIPE WAS COW VAGINA.

you weren't right W guice 16:32, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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....

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)
