Lampredotto is a typical Florentine dish, made from the fourth and final stomach of a cow, the abomasum.[1]

"Lampredotto" is derived from the Italian word for lamprey eels, lampreda, as the tripe resembles a lamprey in shape and color.[2]

A sandwich with lampredotto—panino al lampredotto has been described as a "classic Florentine" sandwich[1] and is a traditional regional street food in Florence.[3] Lampredotto is typically chopped,[1] slow-cooked in a vegetable broth, seasoned with herbs, and served on a bread roll.[3] It is often topped with a spicy sauce or a green sauce (salsa verde).[1][3]

The Daily Meal has called the lampredotto with "a tripe-lover's dream."[4]
