3 ways to celebrate

AT HOME

Cook a Classic at Home

Make trippa alla romana with parboiled tripe, onion, bacon, tomato paste, garlic, and grated Romano or Parmesan. Ask your butcher for honeycomb tripe, simmer low and slow, and taste how a humble ingredient turns luxurious.

WITH FRIENDS

Host a Tripe Tasting with Friends

Ask everyone to bring a tripe dish from a different cuisine, from Mexican menudo to Vietnamese pho to Italian trippa. Compare textures, trade recipes, vote for a favorite, and share the spread with #WorldTripeDay.

IN THE COMMUNITY

Order Out and Ask Around

Find a restaurant near you that serves tripe, from tacos de tripa to trippa, and chat with your butcher about cuts and preparation. Trying it prepared by a pro is the friendliest possible first bite.
