Yeah - yeah. I figured that do. I was taking some very minor
liberty with the semantics.

"Tripe is best served fresh with lashing of salt n' vinegar"

It sure does sound like they're endorsing "raw". But it's probably
not what they meant. You cannot substitute "frozen" or "cold" for
"fresh" in the above sentence. But you can substitute "cooked".

I'm sure fresh tripe is inedible. Probably right up there with
eating raw chicken gizzards.
