The Cows 3rd stomach Explanation: 3rd stomach) depending if it's got individual flaps or diamond shaped criss cross patterns. (supposedly it's also called beef omasum) Omasum: The third compartment of the stomach of a ruminant -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-03-24 09:54:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A cow has four stomachs: the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. The rumen is the largest stomach and acts as a fermentation chamber. The abomasum is last of the four and is comparable in both structure and function to the human stomach. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-03-24 09:56:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/586617 I like the beef stomach (not the white tripe with long "flaps" but the brown-ish one that has a kind of crisscross-y pattern). |

flaps = valves Explanation: Flaps (or flap valves) are the valves that open/close (access to) a certain organ, in this case probably the lungs (esophagus), the heart, the stomach. The butcher spits into the flap (valve) and then blows air into the organ to see if there are any vents (openings) - I guess the spit would fly out of the vent, rendering the animal unclean... You may want to have confirmation from a doctor... |
