I guess what I was really asking was since the Irish seem to have been known 
to eat tripe, does anyone think they might have thought to stuff it with 
something to make it more tasty?  I know, the argument that "if they had the 
technology, they would have done it" doesn't fly.  However, I'm still learning what 
leaps can be made logically and what are crazy figments of my imagination.

I didn't copy out the rest of the author's discussion, but she does make 
mention of the fact that traditionally, sheep/pig/cow stomach was eaten but that 
it is almost exclusively beef now  and that the best tripe actually comes from 
the second stomach of the cow.  She says, however, that tripe is very bland 
and relies on accompanying sauces for flavour.
