So, we are here in Rome out for dinner. As I am ordering my dish, I recognized a meal that I have since several other times at other restaurants. So, me being adventurous I decide to go for it, and I order Trippa alla Romana.

So for those who already know what it is, well then you already know. I had NO idea.

I receive this dish and it looks pretty good, it seemed that I ordered some kind of pasta dish. Oh but I was wrong... very wrong.

I take the first bite, and its very chewy, almost unchewable, and the texture resemble raw lard that I could barely swallow it down. I'm thinking what in the world could this be!!! Corey and I decide to WIKI it as soon as we got back to the hostel.

It turns out I just ate a type of edible offal from the stomachs of various farm animals.

NASTY!!!!!!!!
