Jellies & Their Moulds

Tripe: A Most Excellent Dish
by Marjorie Houlihan
People think of tripe as just another dreary post-war substitute for real food, one of the worst aspects of food rationing. But it has a long and glorious history as a staple of working-class diet in the industrial towns of Lancashire and northern England.
