About Drisheen and Tripe
Darina Allen’s tripe and drisheen belongs to the Cork food traditions discussed in her festival account. Its tripe-and-onion base comes from Michael Ryan’s father’s preparation, shared for her traditional Irish cookbook.
Milk and a butter-and-flour roux give the sauce its creamy body. Onion, salt and pepper provide a restrained seasoning around the tripe and sliced cooked drisheen.
Buttered white bread accompanies the dish. The serving combines tender tripe, pieces of blood sausage and a pale milk sauce, with the bread alongside their contrasting textures.
