almost unbelievable — tripe,
that exotic dish made from the
lining of a cow's stomach. It's
not hard to figure out where
the expression "That's a-lpt of
tripe" came from.
Those° are just a few
categories in the guts depart-

scale, among the nuts, are such

I began thinking of man as
guts when somebody told me a
chap had spent 32 clays or som-
thing in a cabin up north and
had survived by eating mice. It
was an intriguing thought.
Can't you see him sitting
there, drooling, as he 'turned a
mouse on a spit? Can you un-
derstand him deciding to have
a cold lunch of haunch of
mouse, with a salad of "pine
needles and cedar buds, served
on birch bark?
