Madrid-style tripe

Callos a la madrileña

Callos a la Madrileña, or Madrid-style tripe is a dish with humble origins, like so many, as tripe it's always been an inexpensive ingredient. We know that it's been consumed since the 15th century, based on the so called "wastes" of beef. callos a la madrileña was served in lowly taverns and dinning rooms, but when the luxury restaurant Lhardy included it in its menu it stopped being only a popular dish and its ingredients, considered only for the poor such as pig's snout, trotters and tripe are served alongside finer meats in the most elegant restaurants Madrid.
