You really can’t be a true Florentine if you don’t try some of the earthy foods they like here. That includes offal, such as lampredotto and trippa. I have not eaten either one, so I can never be Florentine.

But, I did go to a Florentine restaurant that specializes in these foods and I sat at a table with friends who DO like offal.

For any one of my readers who wants to try these foods, here’s the restaurant we went to in the Oltrarno.

The 2 dishes above are at the top: ravioli made with lampredotto. The bottom dish is trippa.
