Reed

Reed tripe (abomasum) is the true stomach lining—darker, stronger, and less common in some retail markets than honeycomb. It needs thorough cleaning and long cooking; flavour is more assertive and suits highly seasoned stews. Clean carefully, blanch, braise with bold spices or tomato. Texture becomes tender with time. Traditional in certain European and Asian offal dishes where the full set of stomachs is used.
