Squishy, slushy, slimy: you\u2019d never use these words to describe a refined delicacy, right? Well, prepare to change your mind! <\/span>Lampredotto <\/span><\/i>in Florence will prove you wrong in the best of ways.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Florentines have mastered the art of making every part of the animal edible\u2014even delicious, we\u2019d argue. And how can you prove us wrong, when <\/span>lampredotto<\/span><\/i> just\u2026exists?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Join us to discover where to eat <\/span>lampredotto<\/span><\/i> in Florence\u2014and if you\u2019re wondering what <\/span>lampredotto<\/span><\/i> even is, we\u2019ve got you covered!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is Lampredotto?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Most people might not want a <\/span>lampredotto<\/span><\/i> to appear in their Instagram feed. Have you ever seen one? It\u2019s a messy bulk of greasy meat, covered with a green slime, squished in a <\/span>panino<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you do share that photo, you\u2019ll also have to explain to your friends what <\/span>lampredotto<\/span><\/i> is, and trust us: nobody will believe you. How can you explain that it <\/span>is<\/span><\/i> delightful, even if it <\/span>is <\/span><\/i>made with the fourth stomach of a cow?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, there\u2019s more than one stomach. Yes, Florentines eat them all.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can only do one thing: taste it for yourself. And after that, you\u2019ll change your perspective: boiled tripe on a soft bed of panini bread dipped in just enough gravy. Add the perfect mix of salt, pepper, and <\/span>salsa verde<\/span><\/i>: literally green sauce, made from boiled eggs and oh-so-much oil and parsley.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If perfection was a taste, well\u2026 here it\u2019d be.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lampredotto in Florence, Now & Then<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

But beware: even if its most famous form is a tripe sandwich, <\/span>lampredotto<\/span><\/i> can be so much more. You can eat it off of a plate, <\/span>in zimino<\/span><\/i> (with vegetables) or in lasagna. You may even find it as the filling for Chinese dumplings, and it\u2019s still delicious.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no limit to what <\/span>lampredotto<\/span><\/i> can be, except for Florentine imagination. The secret here is the history of Florentine cuisine<\/a>, mostly composed of humble, simple dishes. Many poorer Florentines couldn\u2019t afford to waste any part of the animal\u2014even the scariest ones.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is why Florentine people cooked up so many ways to enjoy the little they had. Be glad they did: you\u2019re now able to savor a unique specialty, and a locals\u2019 favorite. It\u2019s the perfect lunch<\/a> or street food<\/a> bite to give you energy while wandering around the city.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
