Yes, tripe and onions in vinegar with thin cucumber slices served cold on a
warm summers evening. This was a very common summer Sunday evening meal for
us served by my grandmother in York in the 1950's.
This was the only place that I have had this dish and always thought that
it was a Yorkshire dish. If you ask for tripe any where else they will
serve up a mess of boiled tripe which looks and tastes awful.
The alternative might be a Wrights pork pie, my dad usually had one with an
egg inside but we kids preferred the plain kind, not that there was ever
anything plain about a Wrights pork pie.

Well now that I have relived old memories it is back to my my plain old
lunch, a mixed seafood grill.
