Tripe

The food cart right under our apartment that believes no part of any animal should be wasted seeing that their main dish is called trippa al florintine or other wise known as tripe florentine style (cow stomach). 
This dish is served on a roll here with a red sauce that is a salty paste that smells unsettling and is a little unsettling to the stomach.

enough about what with the tripe the actual meat was chewy at first, but some pieces were quite tender and rather delicious. The rancid sauce was actually  quite pleasant with the tripe which seemed to have little to no flavor by its self. Since the sauce was a little overpowering the choice of bread was excellent it was light and had little flavor but it added something that was needed, a different flavor. Over all I would give this sandwich 3 1/2 stars (I couldn't figure out how to actually add stars). In the next weird foods blog post we get a little specific and try the fourth stomach of a cow, lampredotto panino with the traditional parsley sauce.
