lots of nice stomach geometry going on. i ve never heard it described as stomach geometry. that makes it sound much, much more palatable. that is really good. it s boiled multiple times often with vinegar. that tenderizes and cleans it. then it s cooked with tomato and mint. in rome, this is really the only way you find tripe. go to another place, florence included, and the tripe is prepared differently. stewed stomach may not sound appealing, i know, but believe me, these are really tasty flavors. the roman poor didn t have much to work with, but against the odds they wound up making some of the very best food in the city. what can i say? thanks a lot. thank you so much, kate.
