What was Something Your Mom Made When you were a kid

It's the lining of the cows stomach, it is creamy white and rough

There are 3 types of tripe: Bleached, Cleaned and Green. Green tripe is also referred to as “unbleached” tripe since it has not been altered. Bleached tripe is white in color and has been thoroughly cleansed and is mainly for human consumption. Washed tripe is grey in color, had the contents removed, and has only been lightly rinsed and has not been cleaned to the same degree as bleached tripe. Tripe is washed and bleached for the same reasons humans wash and peel potatoes- for appearance and bacterial safety reasons. Green tripe means that the tripe has not been cleaned, bleached or scalded. The actual colour can be green or almost black in colour. Sometimes there will be a greenish tint due to the grass or hay the animal ate just before slaughtering. It is the most natural form of tripe because it is not altered at all once removed from the carcass.
 
Oh yes, and cinnamon toast!! Almost forgot that one:) For meals, I am with Alan on the chic and dumplings being my fave. She also made really good french toast;) Oh, and goulash, as she called it. Mostly just macaroni and burger me thinks, but way good;) I loved her baking powder biscuits too:)
 
Rhubarb pie! It was absolutely wonderful.

Also a wonderful vegetable soup with hamburger meatballs and macaroni. Greatest thing in the world for a winter supper. Fried okra. Green tomato pickles. Fried chicken. Perfect cornbread.

As to tripe, I've managed to avoid it all these years. The idea is disgusting.
