The fourth chamber of the cow's stomach (abomasum), slow-cooked in a broth of tomato, onion, celery and parsley, served on a soft roll dipped in the cooking broth with salsa verde or chilli oil.
Lampredotto traces to the Mercato Vecchio butchers of medieval Florence, who cooked the abomasum, otherwise discarded, into broth for the city's poor. The name comes from 'lampreda', the eel-like fish the abomasum was said to resemble. The cart format crystallised in the 19th century: a wheeled trippaio stove, a vat of simmering broth, a stack of soft buns and bottles of salsa verde and chilli. By the early 1900s lampredotto carts ringed Mercato Centrale, Porcellino and Sant'Ambrogio. Today they hold the city's working lunch grammar.
