Question:

What was the victorian occupation of tripe dresser?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Tripe is a type of edible offal made from the stomach of various domestic animals. Beef tripe is typically made from the first three of a cow's four stomachs, the rumen (blanket/flat/smooth tripe), the reticulum (honeycomb and pocket tripe), and the omasum (book/bible/leaf tripe). Abomasum (reed) tripe is also seen, but with much less frequency, owing to its glandular tissue content. Sheep and pork tripe are also produced.

Fresh tripe, which includes bits of the stomach's last content, smells very unappetizing for humans but is a favourite of many dogs and other carnivores. Tripe has to be watered and meticulously cleaned for human consumption. "Green tripe" refers to unwashed tripe, not suitable for human consumption but often used in dog food. Green tripe is so called because of its high chlorophyl content from undigested grass, however it is more often brown or grey in colour. Tripe is also a term synonymous with rubbish, in the sense of something of little value, or nonsense, and is often used in the Yorkshire dialect.
