EtymologyEdit
The Turkish name {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, meaning "tripe soup", consists of {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} ("stomach/tripe"), {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} ("soup"), and the possessive affix {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} that links the two words. It came from Persian Template:Transliteration ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, "rumen") and Template:Transliteration ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, "soup").<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Some South Slavic languages borrowed the dish name from Turkish: as Template:Transliteration ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) in Bulgarian and Template:Transliteration ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) in Macedonian, as Template:Transliteration ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) in Serbian and Bosnian, and Çorbë in Albanian.
Southeastern EuropeEdit
Tripe chorba (Template:Langx, Template:Langx, Template:Langx, Template:Langx) is a common dish in Balkan, Eastern European and Middle Eastern cuisines. It is widely (not universally) considered to be a hangover remedy.<ref>Dana Facaros, Linda Theodorou, Greece, Cadogan Guides, p. 110</ref><ref>Heidi Johansen, Fodor's Mexico 2010, p. 443</ref><ref>Annie Kay, Bulgaria, Bradt Travel Guides, 2015, p. 57</ref><ref>DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Istanbul, 2014, p. 199</ref>
In Greek cuisine, tripe soup is known as patsas ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) from Turkish ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) which means trotter. Trotter/({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) is a different soup in the Turkish cuisine.
BulgariaEdit
In Bulgaria, škembe čorba ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) is made with whole pork, beef or lamb tripe, boiled for a few hours, chopped in small pieces, and returned to the broth. The soup is spiced with ground red paprika which is briefly fried (запръжка), and often a small quantity of milk is added. Traditionally, the soup is served with mashed garlic in vinegar and hot red pepper. There is a variant of the soup with intestines instead of tripe.<ref name="Albala 2011">Template:Cite book</ref>
The soup was very popular with the working class until the late 1980s, and there were many restaurants serving only shkembe chorba (шкембеджийница, "shkembe-restaurant"). Later they were replaced by fast food restaurants but the soup is still highly regarded, and is part of the menu in any cheap to moderately-priced restaurant.
RomaniaEdit
The Romanian name for the sour tripe soup is ciorbă de burtă (from ciorbă 'sour soup' < Turkish çorba + burtă 'tripe'). The Romanian ciorbă de burtă is similar to ciorbă de ciocănele (soup from pork legs). Ciorbă de burtă is often thickened with flour, high fat sour cream/creme fraiche and egg yolks, colored with fried grated carrots or peppers, and seasoned with vinegar, high fat sour cream (smântână) and garlic dip (crushed garlic mixed with oil), called mujdei. The Romanian journalist Radu Anton Roman said this about Ciorbă de burtă: "This dish looks like it is made for drunk coachmen but it has the most sophisticated and pretentious mode of preparation in all Romanian cuisine. It's sour and sweet, hot and velvety, fatty but delicate, eclectic and simple at the same time."<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
If sour base made of fermented wheat bran called borş is used in sour tripe soup, the sour soup is called a borş, not a ciorbă.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
SerbiaEdit
In Serbia, this soup is made of fresh tripe cooked with onions, garlic and paprika. It is usually seasoned with fried bacon and more garlic, sometimes thickened with flour ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}). Some versions of shkembe chorba are made with milk; garlic, vinegar, and chili peppers are often added as seasoning.
TurkeyEdit

In Turkey, tripe çorba (işkembe çorbası) is generally made of cow's stomach and eaten usually with a vinegar-garlic sauce added on the table or with the addition of an egg yolk-lemon juice (called terbiye) in the kitchen, after cooking and before service. Although the general name {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} is very common, especially at the traditional restaurants dedicated to this soup, offal of cow and sheep and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (sheep head meat, especially cheeks, baked) are also offered. A dish can be ordered and made from the various parts of the stomach: "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}". As in several other countries, it is seen as a "hangover remedy" and finds itself a place in almost all New Year's Eve menus, served right after midnight. This has been the case since the 1800s, when it was first reported as a popular soup among Ottomans to consume immediately after a session of heavy social drinking, usually of rakı.<ref name="Rogan2002">Template:Cite book</ref>
