Heh, I took some tripe into work for our Philipino colleagues to try (After they had force fed one of our lads Ballut when he was over there!).
I quite like it and actually Mancie its already cooked when you buy it. Its been boiled and bleached normally.
OX toungue isn't that expensive either. They sell it at Tescos and its no where near as expensive as rare cooked angus beef or even teh proper roasted Ham on the bone.(my mum buys tongue every week).
However, whilst I'm happy to eat tripe I can't get my head around effectively french kissing a cow!
