    You’re more inclined to find tripe for Mexican cuisine here. We don’t have fresh sardines for roasting, Italian style, here either.

    I mean you’d be pressed to find this in NYC let alone LA. I’ve not seen this outside of Sicily have you?

    Find a butcher and ask if they can order it for you

    Another option for non-Italian tripe is a Chinese dimsum restaurant. Very common across Southern California.

  5. there’s Spaccio Salumeria on Washington in West Adams, i think they butcher their own meat, so would presumably have these parts.

    Just wanted to add that Korean tripe is delicious. Usually served with liver and Korean blood sausage. Check out places like 8th St Soondae (Soondae is blood sausage). They serve it as is, in a soup, or with a noodle stir fry. Absolutely delicious.

    You can find tripe in most Korean markets too

    You don’t expect me to swallow this tripe!

    Get some from super king, boil it, toss it in lime juice and tajin and you got yourself a great night

    I make my own lampredotto sandwiches when the craving hits. The hardest part is finding the right stomach tripe, abomasum.

    Claro’s Italian Market or Pulciano’s

  12. Haven’t found trippa alla Fiorentina on any menus here in SoCal yet.

    I do order tripe at dim sum but it’s a completely different dish. Same with MX preparations of tripe. Love menudo and tacos de tripa but nothing like the Italian styles.

    Good luck on the search.
