A lamprey-like name for a cattle stomach dish
Florentine lampredotto uses cattle’s fourth stomach, the abomasum. It is also served in a bread roll as street food. The name comes from the Italian word for lamprey because of a resemblance in appearance.
The name points to a fish; the ingredient comes from cattle.
