Trippa alla romana explained
Italian: Trippa alla romana is a traditional dish of Roman cuisine.
History
Once a popular dish among the poorest inhabitants of Rome, Italian: trippa alla romana has become a staple of Roman cuisine. It is part of Italian: [[quinto quarto]] (or the offal of butchered animals),[1] a type of cuisine born from poor, peasant kitchens. Each animal was divided into quarters (Italian: quarti); the first quarter (Italian: primo quarto) consisted of the best cuts and these went to the nobility. The second quarter was for the clergy. The third quarter (Italian: terzo quarto) was for the bourgeois (or merchant) class, and the fourth quarter was for soldiers. All that was leftover became Italian: quinto quarto and was distributed among the rest of the population, including the vaccinari (butchers).[2]
Trippa alla romana is an ancient recipe, traditionally prepared during Saturday lunch, so much so that nowadays in historic trattorias it is possible to see a sign that says "Italian: Sabato Trippa".[3]
The recipe of Italian: trippa alla romana has also spread thanks to Elena Fabrizi, an admirer of the popular dish of the Roman tradition.[4]
The dish is prepared with tripe, white onions, peeled tomatoes, carrots, white wine, Italian: [[pecorino romano]] cheese and pennyroyal leaves.[5]
