Panino con il lampredotto: Florence's slow-simmered tripe roll with green and spicy sauces
Lampredotto is the fourth stomach of the cow, slowly simmered in a broth with tomato, onion and celery until tender, and for Florentines it is the true street food of the city. Lampredottai sell it from carts at the San Lorenzo market and Porta Romana from mid-morning: the meat is chopped on a board, salted, piled into a crusty roll whose top half is dipped in the broth, and topped with salsa verde and chilli oil. Ask a butcher for lampredotto or abomasum tripe, ready cleaned. Chef's tip: dip the top of the bun ("bagnato") briefly in the hot broth; it soaks up the flavour but shouldn't fall apart.

Method
0/5 doneStep 1: Rinse 2 ¼ lb lampredotto (beef abomasum tripe) well in cold water. Put it in a large pan with 1 onion, 1 carrot, 1 celery stick, 1 ripe tomato, 1 small bunch parsley stalks, 1 tbsp salt and 6 black peppercorns and cover with cold water.
Step 2: Bring to the boil, skim, then simmer gently, partly covered, for 2½–3 hours, until a knife slides easily into the thickest part. Common mistake: boiling hard; the tripe turns rubbery. Keep it at a gentle simmer.
180 minStep 3: Meanwhile blend 1 ⅜ oz flat-leaf parsley, 1 tbsp capers, 1 clove garlic and the squeezed ⅔ oz white bread with ½ cup extra virgin olive oil to a thick green sauce.
Step 4: Lift the tripe onto a board and chop it into thin strips. Season with a little salt.
Step 5: Split 6 crusty bread rolls, dip the cut side of the top half quickly in the hot broth and fill with the tripe. Top with salsa verde and 2 tbsp chilli oil and serve hot.

Boiled pasta
The basic method for any dried pasta, from penne to spaghetti. A large pan of salted boiling water keeps the pasta from sticking, and you cook it only until just done, with a little bite left. Use it in salads, bakes or with any sauce.
Pfälzer SaumagenStuffed pig's stomach
Saumagen is the pride of the Palatinate, served at wine-village festivals and family dinners from the Haardt hills to Ludwigshafen. A cleaned pig's stomach is stuffed with diced pork shoulder, pork sausage meat, potato and carrot seasoned with marjoram and nutmeg, poached slowly, then sliced thick and fried until crusty. The stomach works only as a casing and is ordered from a butcher; if you can't get one, bake the same filling in a covered terrine in a water bath. Serve with sauerkraut and mashed potato. Chef's tip: fill the stomach only three-quarters full, or it bursts as the potatoes swell.

Pork souvlaki
This is a pork recipe. Walk through any Greek town after dark, from Athens to Thessaloniki, and the smell of souvlaki stands drifts down the street; cubes of pork shoulder grilled on thin skewers are the country's favourite cheap supper, eaten standing up or at a plastic-table taverna. At home you marinate the meat in lemon, olive oil, garlic and dried oregano, grill it hard and fast, and pile it on warm pitta with tzatziki, tomato and red onion. Chef's tip: cut the pork into even 2.5 cm cubes and leave a little fat on; lean loin dries out, shoulder stays juicy over high heat.
