Trippa (tripe) is a widely used ingredient in traditional Italian cuisine, particularly because of its humble origins, which made it popular among a broad segment of the population from the north to the south of Italy. The most common preparation is undoubtedly stewed trippa, and here in Florence – alongside the king of our cuisine, lampredotto – we prepare it “alla fiorentina.” However, there is a less conventional but equally delicious way to enjoy this delicacy: fried trippa.
