We have plenty of it here, too. They only sell 2 of the 3
stomaches, and I forget which two. The two they use most often for
menudo ;-)

The smell must be atrocious. That guy appears to be running.

It didn't say "raw", it said "fresh". I assume they mean it's better
than from frozen. At least I hope that's what they mean.

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.

You must have left while you were very young, then, not to know that
Accrington Stanley were one of the best known football teams in the U.K.
for a period in the 80s.

Known for being one of the worst in the country, that is, according to a
milk advert.

As Ramsay says "Accrington Stanley", he's actually walking into the
Victorian indoor market building.

I left Accy in 1954; the Stanley was always at the bottom of the
league, and we lived very close to the playing field.

The Stanley was always fairly well-known, though. In my day they were
the butt of jokes much in the same manner as the Brooklyn Dodgers.

I visited in 1999-2000 for the Millennium celebrations. I take it the
market is called Accrington Stanley, eh? I didn't go downtown; my
relatives live in Church.

Thanks for you reply!

Things don't change much, then....

Still are, as far as I can tell.

I'd guess the score next week when they play Queens Park Rangers in the
cup may look more like a cricket score than football, unless QPR take
pity on them.

The Market is called the Market on all the info I've seen. That show is
not well known for its accuracy and depth of research, except in the
matter of food. I'd not be too sure Ramsay's correctly quoting what he
was told to say, either.

That could tempt me into eating it for the first time.

Anyone got any favourite tripe recipes?
