Would you eat Tripe Soup (beef stomach soup, aka Ciorbă de burtă)? [Update: Had it, was good!]

I've eaten a cockroach before ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I'd give it a go

BTDT. It's fairly common in Chinese restaurants. I personally didn't enjoy the spongy texture, and the tripe itself is pretty flavorless.

It's really common here in Czechia, never had it I don't think...maybe as a kid. Bump

I live near Mexico (but in US), and menudo is a thing here. I'm not sure you have to be from Europe to enjoy. ;)

I'm Hungarian, I gave eaten tripe before; if the cook made it well, it's really good. However it was not a soup, but a stew, that's more common here.

It's really good after alcohol but you don't want it while you are sober. I am from Turkey btw.

Wish me luck!

I don't know about Romanian tripe soup, but mondongo soup here in Honduras (and I think it is regional to at least also the rest of Central America and Mexico) is delicious stuff. As for the tripe itself, it's not too different from some beef rib cuts: really smooth, but has a sort of membrane tying it up together.

Alas, the devil's in the detail. It must be cleaned very well, and while I've always been lucky to have it prepared well, I've heard stories that it tastes awful when not properly washed.

Why is blood soup awful? I´m in czech republic and here soup(polevka) is basis of every meal, I also had many questionable soups, but everyone was delicious :-) I´m in Plzen atm: best soup was Sauerkraut soup with sausage xD

Hungarian here ; we make beef stomach into a stew, while the sauce tastes like most other stews, I hate the consistency so just based on it, I wouldn't try a soup either :D

I'm from Bulgaria and I've eaten it multiple times. I like it, but not enough to bother cooking it, and can't afford to eat out, so haven't had any in many years.

love it, common dish in italy too

Bump

I've never had that soup before, but I'd try it.

I have had Menudo (another tasty Tripe soup):

I might have had it when I went there as a kid, but it's been so long that I can't remember. It doesn't sound bad, so I'd certainly try it.

Hahaha, glad to see you've tried it and liked it. We have it differently over here in Asia, but then again Asians are known to eat just about anything. Tripe is a regular thing here used in various cooking, be it soup, curry, etc.

One of my favorite food is "cow soup" which is more or less a clear-ish soup with various parts of a cow in it, tripe included. Other parts include the tongue, meat, heck, even bones at times. There's a pig version too that is everything pig, from meat to tongue to tripe to liver and even including pig blood cubes, haha.
