Adventures in Tripe (Part 1; Captioned)

Dedicated to my friends on QNA Live, who suggested it and so kindly provided...recipes. Thanks. I think.

And to my family - especially my son, whose talents made this video possible. Even if they won't taste my tripe.

This one has captions. It's funnier.

@libdrone That which doesn't kill us...doesn't kill us. ;)

Hi. The stomach consists of four compartments - rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. The honey-combed compartment is the reticulum.

The more commoner part that the European would eat is the reticulum. The Chinese would eat a different part probably the omasum but the omasum has plain upright folds from the wall whereas the Chinese dim sum tripe that I had has upright Christmas tree-like folds which are crunchy after cooking.

@zapbuddha I wish I could give this 10 thumbs' up. That is very useful (well, it would be, if I ever worked up the nerve again to try a different form of tripe) and quite fascinating info. (I can't believe that I didn't do more research - as a writer, I'm ashamed of myself. As one who pretty much wrote off ever cooking tripe again - well, that's my excuse!) Thank you!!

I do believe you're son deserves a tripled allowance.

You could be right about that! ;) He got it. (Actually, he only gets it when he reminds me, but then I don't say "Fine, but it's coming out of YOUR ALLOWANCE!" at every turn, either. I think he actually comes out ahead by NOT collecting.) He does enjoy the ratings and (nice) comments, though.
