Tripa ala fiorentina by avlxyz
"T" is for tripe,
I think it's quite yummy,
Though many won't let it,
Enter their tummy!
This stomach of beef,
Or sheep, pigs or goats,
Can't make it down,
Some people's throats.
Tripe needs preparation,
And a good cleaning, too,
Slow simmering till tender,
Is what one must do.
Then one adds the things,
That make it sublime,
Garlic, spices, tomatoes,
And pour on the wine!
From Mexican menudo,
To andouille of France,
Honeycomb tripe,
Is not looked at askance!
tripe by acme
I ate tripe last Friday,
A taste of old Italy,
The dish was as fine,
As any could be!
Don't turn up your nose,
Without trying a bite,
You may finally decide,
That tripe is all right!
