Well, if they need a tripe hit and can't convince you to give it another go, my dad had some at Vinny's in Somerville recently that he pronounced to be acceptable. Although Anthony, in all his four year old discernment, pronounced the meatballs not to be as good as Grandma's or Mommy's. My mom claims she tasted his and agreed, but I'd say he knows where his bread is buttered....It's not like he can take himself out to Vinny's whenever he needs a meatball fix. Hmm.

I know that it must be possible. After all, I like camembert after a lot of years of trying, but I can't even stand the smell of the stuff, and my home and car are rather tripey at the mo'. I think I messed it up. The tripe I got from Super 88 was very white, and melted down to almost nothing when cooked as long as suggested for raw tripe in the book. I have suspicions of pre cooking or bleaching or some other preparation that I did not anticipate. So it goes. Note to self, next time get raw, unwashed tripe. Yeah, right! Thanks for the shout out! xo JJ Acutally, both Tom and Mark not only have had, but LIKE tripe. I know that it must be possible.
