I had raw liver for the first time

[Iblameher]

not a fan tbh, tripe soup is probably my least favorite meal

it stinks so bad..

The soup or the tripe though? Because I think other than a slightly murkey taste, tripe doesn't really smell

Maybe prepping the tripe changes it a lot. The last time I made a simple stew, I did rinse it generously because my teacher told me some gross story

Spoiler

about him making a traditional Chinese dish where they stuff the uncut tripe with a bunch of herbs and then roll it out. One time when they did, the found a bunch of worms after rolling out some garlic.
