Talking stupid. That’s what I got when I googled “tripe” at Yakitori alley and showed it to the proprietor, not knowing any better. The owner/cook had a shocked face and so did the video game designer next to us. It wasn’t until I clarified that I wanted “cow stomach ” did we all have a laugh.
Actors for the evening: master miracle chef, video game designer, doctor embryo and mister importer and us.
Simply put, it was a fitting end to my trip.
