Tripe

Ann Edwards

Last updated: 21 January 2009

Anne Edwards' family ran a tripe and meat stall in Wrexham's Butchers' Market for more than 160 years before it finally closed in 2006.

Where are you from?
I'm from the Wrexham area, born and bred. My family have run the tripe stall since the market was opened in the 1840s.

What food do you enjoy eating?
I like everything, particularly tripe and all the other meats.

Your recipe
Tripe soup
1/4 lb pre-cooked tripe
1/2 oz butter
1/2 oz flour
Seasoning
1 Onion
Half pint milk
Half pint water

Peel and chop the onion and cook in the water until tender. Cut up the tripe and add to the onion. Simmer it very gently for about 10 mins and then strain. Finely dice or mince the tripe and onion. Melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and cook for a few seconds. Pour on the tripe liquor, stirring all the time and boil for a few minutes. Season to taste, add the tripe and onion, pour in the milk and bring slowly to the boil. Serves two.

What British food do you like?
My favourite is roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.
