pátsas

πάτσας

Tripe, but also the classic tripe and trotter soup hangover cure sold 24/7 at special tripe or πατσατζιδίκο (patsatzidiko) restaurants. A few of these still survive, including the Zarouchas in Thessaloniki, where the pátsas was a favourite of none other than Lou Reed.

Meats and poultry

Soups, sauces and stews
