Tripe seems to be one of those foods that divides us, you either hate or love it. Internationally there are plenty of well-known tripe dishes. Tripes a la mode de Caen from Normandy featuring cider, calvados, or Pepperpot from the US with its origins in the West Indies and it features plenty of pepper or Busecca from Milan, Italy where it is simmered with large white beans, pancetta, vegetables and plenty of tomatoes served with parmesan. But for most of us, the classic north England dish of tripe with onion and parsley seems to be the preferred dish and the slow cooker ensures it is tender and keeps that well-recognised smell under wraps while it cooks.
