Tripe and Onions Like Mother Used To Make


I remember as a lad being sent to the local butcher's shop by my mother to buy tripe for my dad's dinner.I hated the feel of it in the bag,moving and slithering like the blob ! a horror film at the time.
Mother used to clean the tripe in the sink preparing it for cooking,much to my disgust! No way would she have got me to sit at the same dinner table as dad ate it,let  alone eat it !.
    
But here is the recipe like mother used to make as I know many people love this recipe.
