Meaning
A stew of tripe (the cleaned stomach lining of the cow) cooked long and slow with broad beans or butter beans, seasoning, and pepper until tender and rich. Like cow foot and oxtail, it turns a humble, cheap cut into a hearty, well-loved dish; the tripe becomes soft and takes up the flavour of the sauce.
