Cherrye, thanks for posting. I will definately be on the look out the next time in that area so I know not to order it. I accidentally order tripe soup in Assisi and asked the waiter remove it from my table once I figured out what it was (no tasting involed). He was very rude and wouldn't until I said I'd pay for it. I now try to be careful what I order unless I'm 100% sure what the ingredients are. I'm not an adventurous eater. Eek. I'm not adventurous either. I have the weakest stomach this side of the Atlantic! Ice Tea For Me’s last blog post..checking the ads

The ego part of me wants to be gourmetish and open-minded. My more honest self says: no way, baby! Why, I don’t know. I eat liver. I eat “giblets,” as we so nicely call those chicken bits. But this soup… no. I’m just glad I know its name, so I won’t ever accidentally eat it! “D

Haha!! Be careful if you come to southern Italy. It might be in dialect, remember!!

cherrye,

Ciao bella! First and foremost being the biggest procrastinator that has ever lived. I want to congratulate you and Peppe on your 1 year anniversary and here’s to another 100 years.:-) By the way that photo of you two is so beautiful.That dress is still really stunning.

Second,as for the Morzeddhu,I can stand it and the smell alone when Domenico’s mother cooks it makes me ill.I can’t stand to look at it, smell it, and refuse to enter the house when I even smell of faint trace of it. I’ve only tried it once and it took the help of the good Lord himself to not(regurgitate)it.,-) I won’t even let Domenico cook it at home. He goes to his mom or sister’s when he wants a fix of innards because there are some things even I just won’t do.:-/

Thanks, “Down.” I didn’t post the picture P took of me when I walked in and smelled it OR did I post the picture of the wall of bread I put between us so I wouldn’t have to look at it! ha ha

WOW I haven’t even heard of morzeddhu since my grandmother died. She made this and served it in thick sandwich buns. I loved it, but of course I was a little kid and had no idea what was in it. I don’t think I could even get the ingredients for it around here anymore.

You could use tripe without the “extra” stuff?!? Maybe instead you should come to Calabria and we can show you where the best restaurants are. Not that I’d know personally, per se….

I’m impressed there was no regurgitation in the writing of this post (there wasn’t, right?)

Oh, Michelle …you know me too well!

Now, I like the sauce in dishes like these…in France there is something called Pieds Paquets (feet and tripes stew)…I’ll soak up the sauce with a good chunk of baguette, but I’ll leave the meat parts for someone else

They’ve tried to get me to try the sauce but it is too close to the “other” parts for me. Maybe one day…

I believe this is fab for the locals. My better half loves when his Zia cooks this. Although been vegetarian his Zia will always have to cook this one for him!!!!!!

Can you even be in the same room, Jenny? I had a hard time, seriously!!
