'trippa'?
Cow stomach. Well, it's actually the lining. Trippa a la Romana is the famous Italian version. It's slow simmered in tomato sauce all day with lots of garlic, celery, onions, sometimes carrots, and a little wine. Some people even put in chickpeas or potatoes. And like Bronx just said, it's best when it's extra spicy. Sometimes if you get the right cook, he'll put hot cherry peppers right in the sauce for you. And like any other stew, it's even better the next day. It's honestly one of my favorite meals in the whole world.

Nowadays you can find trippa, but you have to go to trendy places like Babbo's in the city and be ready to shell out 40 bucks a plate for cucina povera' ...everything old is new again.

My Dad made Trippa to die for. The only place he could buy the cow's stomach was an old time Italian store. He would soak it overnight in salt water then clean it up the next morning and cut it in 1 inch pieces. He used dried Cayenne peppers instead of cherry peppers. No chickpeas or potatoes. We always ate it with Linguine. Hell when we made any kind of sauce we always cooked pasta to eat with it :D

Lungs, cervelle, capuzzelle, all that stuff is illegal here but if you know guys who keep animals you can get these items. Very difficult though.

Louis Seafood on Tremont, across from Sisto Funeral Home, still has it on the menu every day. And it's as good now as it was thirty years ago. But generally speaking, you're right. It's a shame.
