tripe IS the 
stomach lining, my Mom made a great homemade veggie soup, all fresh veg. it was a meal. she cut up tripe into it, but we kids had no clue what a 'tripe' was and we ate it. it was rather chewy and bland. when my Dad was a kid in Italy often times were hard, so he was frugal and would buy tripe and other inexpensive stuff at the farmers market he shopped every week. a big soup bone had a lot of meat on it, so we'd have that too. i never felt deprived. we had veal and polenta a lot, veal was cheap! he told me when he was a kid they were lucky to have meat once a week.
