I'm a bit surprised it's that hard to get hold of some reed tripe/abomasum in the US. Every butcher should be able to sell you every part of the cow. Anyhow, you can NOT substitute reed tripe with anything else. Period. Lampredotto is one thing, trippa is another one. When you try both these dishes in Florence (or elsewhere in Italy, nowadays you can actually find lampredotto in for example Rome and Milan) you will discover how different they are.

4th stomach? I am guessing you guys didn't ask any Koreans or go to Korean BBQ restaurants. The 4th stomach or abomasum or makchang as Koreans call it, is very popular in KBBQ restaurants. Not all KBBQ restaurants have it, but there are plenty that do. Next time go to a KBBQ restaurant that serves makchang or gopchang and ask them where they get it. BTW, I am a big fan of abomasum or makchang. I love it!

Ciao. Americans and how easily grossed out at things. and then making money off their yucky reactions. whats really gross is how they clean themselves up after taking a merda. now thats gross - using just toilet paper. I'm surprised you guys are so found shaking hands - but I noticed you guys don't wash your hands. learn how to use bidgets. buona fortuna.

Ciao; I'm from Florence in Italy. I'm sorry you couldn't find the right part of the stomach to make the real Lampredotto. However, you have created two excellent Trippa sandwiches. Thank you for telling the story of a typical dish of my city. If you want to come to Florence and try the real Lampredotto I'll be happy to guide you.

I'm all for tail to snout butchery. I try to eat many parts of the animal. Kidney, heart, liver, blood and tongue sausage, pigs feet, head cheese, and so on. I can't yet eat stomach, lungs, or testicles. They are usually in my local Asian grocer, but they look nasty. I might get over it, I eat tongue after all, but I just can't.

if you can't find something in Chinatown in NYC, you aren't looking at the right places. You can get any part of the cow there, and the 4th stomach is widely used in Chinese cuisine, as well as the other 3. I am certain that there are no less than 50 Chinese places in NYC that serves dished/food made with it.

Try Seafood City and Ranch Market. There's also a rather large but non-chain Filipino grocery in Jersey. They might have tripe there too. It's cooked as a stew in peanut sauce and veggies in the Philippines and used for a beef stock soup for drinking sake, so yeah, check the Asian joints.

I'm at home watching this eating left over menudo before I get ready for work and I'm thinking to myself what's the big deal I've been eating this stuff since I was a little boy now if you want to talk funk clean out 50lbs of the stuff and that isn't even that much.

If you can't find it in New York's chinatown, you won't find it anywhere? Dudes, I never even set foot in the USA, but even I know to go look at the halal butchers. Tripe? That's nothing. The halal butchers should be able to give even brains, eyes, and gonads.

Funny to realize how many cultures love tripes in one way or another. Over here in France it's supposed to be traditional but 90% of people below 30 years old never tasted it and never will. This sandwich has made me fantasize about Florence for years and years.
