İşkembe
İşkembe çorbası is a tripe soup prepared in Greece, Turkey and the Balkans. It is often seasoned with vinegar or lemon juice. The Bulgarian version of the soup is called Shkembe chorba, and is somewhat different. The Greek version is - somewhat incorrectly - called patsás (πατσάς), from the Turkish word paça 'cuff' or 'foot'. (Though skempés {σκεμπές}, from Turkish işkembe; 'tripe' is also used.) The Greek version sometimes uses other offal from goats or sheep, and with or without pigs' feet; it may be seasoned with lemon and garlic and thickened with avgolemono.
