Myself, I eat almost anything. Except tripe and I don't fancy squid
either.

I'm with you: tripe is a step to far. People around here adore it
though.

I associate tripe with post WWII food shortages and dehydrated mashed
potato
POM.
IMO tripe is tasteless and has a slimy texture.




Actually, I think it's deeply yummy. I've eaten white and dark tripe.
Never cooked it; all our family ate it washed straight from the butchers
with vinegar, salt and pepper. Exquisiste! Can't buy it now for trying.
Last time I asked for some, the butcher said "Is it for your dog?" Totally
barking.

When I had a lot of dogs, I used to get what is called green tripe for them,
which is not the same as white tripe that humans eat. It absolutely stank
but they loved it.
So I guess that's what your butcher thought you wanted.

Absolutely wouldn't eat tripe myself. No way.

You probably need a specialist butcher to get some now to eat yourself. I
don't think it will go well in the supermarkets.
