Tripes à la mode de Caen

Do you know what tripes are? They are the insides of a cow or a pig. Tripes à la mode de Caen is a dish made with these insides (don't worry, they are cleaned and cooked properly!), but it is a special dish that comes from the city of Caen in France.

To make this dish, the tripes are cut into small pieces and cooked slowly with onions, garlic, spices, and sometimes even cider. This makes them very tender and flavorful. Then, they are served with potatoes or bread.

Tripes à la mode de Caen is a very old dish, and it is very popular in France. People in Caen are very proud of their dish, and they think it is the best in the world!
