Ciorbă de burtă · Bucharest

Ciorbă de burtă is a sour tripe soup of beef or calf tripe with celery, carrot and onion, finished with sour cream, egg and garlic and served with hot chili.

Ciorbă is the Romanian word for a sour soup, and Wikipedia says the word comes from Ottoman Turkish. Hanu' Berarilor's menu says its tripe soup follows an old recipe from the Obor barrier, the market district of north-east Bucharest. Hanu' lui Manuc cooks calf tripe with celery, carrot, onion, sour cream and egg and serves its soups with hot chilies, and La Mama's version adds garlic and vinegar. Caru' cu bere, Vatra and Mahala list it too.
