It is thought this word was created in the 17th century in the Albi region where it was called in the local language, and I quote: « Honeycomb bonnet ». The recipes then spread to the Lyon region where many dishes were created, including the famous « Sapeur's Apron ». Its name came from its Latin root « Grassus » which meant fatty, and the word double was added to refer to the stomach pocket. Contrary to its name, beef tripe is not very nutritious and is easily digestible.
