History of World Tripe Day
Tripe refers to the lining found in the guts of cows, sheep, and pigs. It might have originated from the word in old French ‘tripe’ which means ‘intestines’ or ‘guts’ or the insides of something. There are also theories suggesting that it might have come from the Spanish word ‘tripa’ which in turn might have come from the Arabic word ‘therb.’ In the Middle Ages, tripe was eaten only by the lower class and was not something that the elite would indulge in. Hence, the word was often used to describe something or someone as worthless or stupid.
This dish grew in popularity over time. Tripe was appreciated by individuals of all social classes in the Victorian era. In England, cleaned tripe was quite popular. The washed tripe was made up of tripe that has had the fat removed and cleaned. Tripe became popular in other European nations such as France, Italy, and Spain. With time, many varieties of tripe emerged. Animals such as antelopes and giraffes, in addition to cattle and pigs, had their stomach linings used.
Tripe quickly spread to other parts of the globe. Each culture has its unique tripe recipe. Andouille in France, Bumbar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Dobrada in Portugal, Kare-Kare in the Philippines, Tripe Soup in Jordan, and Ojree in Pakistan are just a few examples. ‘Tacos de Tripa’ are tacos filled with crunchy fried tiny intestines, which are a Mexican delicacy. World Tripe Day was established to encourage people to cook with and eat tripe.
