葱姜百叶 Onion and Ginger Tripe

Pinyin: Cōng Jiāng Niú Bǎi Yè

How the times have changed. There was a time where I wouldn't touch cow stomach in any form. I laughed at just the prospect of someone eating tripe. These days however I know that cows have several stomachs and depending on the stomach the meat is a little different. The tripe used in this dish according to the Cook's Thesaurus is called Honeycomb tripe and comes from the second stomach of the cow.

So here are the facts of this dish. It's a cold one, an appetizer of sorts, that mixes the tripe with spring onions and ginger, lots and lots of ginger. It's decent enough, not my favorite, but decent nonetheless, and the ginger is extremely strong so you better be a fan.
