It's World Tripe Day, celebrating the former kitchen staple, made of the stomach of a cow, pig, sheep or ox.
Tripe has fallen out of favour for decades but would you put it on the menu?

Ordinarily I don’t pay a lot of attention to political polls but the trends are interesting. According a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll out this morning (see below), the two Republican candidates spewing the most racist tripe -- Donald (Mexicans are rapists) Trump and Ben (Muslims shouldn’t be President) Carson -- are running neck-and-neck for first place in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, while Hillary Clinton continues to lose ground to Bernie Sanders.

Up in flames
A museum director sets artwork alight in Italy in an inflammatory move to raise more public money
The U.S. said the photograph of a dead Osama bin Laden is "gruesome" and that "it could be inflammatory" if released, but is still considering whether to make it public.
A Birmingham Post article by Chris Upton compares “The Tripe Eaters,” one of Freeth’s works, to Robert Burns’ “Address to a Haggis.” It begins “Of all the towns in England/ For tripe that’s fat and fair,/ There’s not one, I trow, that can/ With Birmingham compare,” and then launches into the “And a-triping we will go” refrain.
席哈克又提到前北大西洋公約組織秘書長羅伯森(George Robertson)曾請他品嘗「令人反胃的蘇格蘭菜」羊肉雜碎布丁(Haggis)，他坦言：「這便是我們和北約麻煩的根源」，惹得普丁和施洛德大笑。普丁後來問：「那（英國的）漢堡又如何？」席哈克說：「不！不！漢堡根本不值一瞧。」。
Upton notes a wrinkle in the third verse, which reads, “Observe what stands before us/ From oven piping hot;/ We’ll fall on it – hook, heels and all - / And fairly drain the pot.”
“What was, in fact, being dished out,” Upton writes, “was tripe and cow heel. The dish on offer in the early evening, once the butchers … had done their worst and separated off every bit edible.”
