İşkembe çorbası is a tripe soup prepared in Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia and the Balkans, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. It is often seasoned with vinegar or lemon juice.
Serbian and Bulgarian versions of this soup are called Shkembe chorba and the Macedonian one is called Chkembe chorba. In Serbia, this soup is made of fresh tripe cooked with onions, garlic and ground red paprika. It is usually seasoned with fried bacon and more garlic, sometimes thickened with flour (запршка).
The Greek version is called patsás (πατσάς), although skembés (σκεμπές), from Turkish işkembe "tripe", is also used. It may be seasoned with red wine vinegar and garlic (skordostoubi), or thickened with avgolemono. The Greek name patsás, from the Turkish word paça "cuff" or "foot", reflects the fact that the Greek version sometimes uses calf feet instead of tripe.
The Romanian name is ciorbă de burtă, having as a variant ciorbă de ciocănele (soup from pig legs), similar in preparation and serving.
A different type of tripe soup common in the Czech Republic is dršťková polévka. It is well known as a hangover remedy.[citation needed]
Name
İşkembe means "belly" or "tripe" in Turkish, probably from Persian shekam, "belly" or "stomach"; and çorba means "soup", possibly also of Persian origin.[citation needed]
