This recipe was extracted from The household cook book (1902) by Smiley, James B[ethuel],, page 132. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

TO CLEAN BEEF TRIPE— Rinse carefully in cold water (after emptying the contents, none of which should be allowed to touch the outside). Then sprinkle on lime, put it in a tub, pour on hot water and leave 2 hours ; then try scraping it with a knife — if the dark does not come off readily, spread on more lime and put in the tub another hour or two; then scrape, and rinse clean with cold water. Put it in salt water, enough to cover it, and leave 3 days

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
