Speaking of atrocities on meat.......my neighbors dad told me all of the canned soups even the big named one don't really use like regular chicken or beef they mostly use tripe, I will never eat any soup with meat in it again!

You mean my chicken noodle soup is not real?????????

Being from Georgia I should probably know this......but what is tripe?

I think its the lining of a cow's stomach but someone else might chime
in. ugh.:(

I may become a vegetarian after this thread.

You are right Sox. Tripe is from a cow's stomach. In the SW they use it all the time in a soup called Menudo. It is a Mexican soup. Lots of people really like it. Me, no way! LOL.

I do believe that I'm taking Sandy's suggestion and becoming a vegetarian!!

All this information has really been eye-opening for me....I'm not a big meat eater anyway but now I may just back off of it a little more! :eek:

That can be my contribution to stimulating my OWN economy....cutting out meat!!

Does this thread remind any one of "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair? Now that book would make anyone a vegetarian; at least for a while.

OMGoodness !!! I am sick.... never knew that !!!! Never even heard of tripe. :confused:
