Machu Picchu/Pollo las Brasas Union Sq. Stopped by today for a chicken and some Peruanisimo pork and sweet potato sandwiches. Maybe they've been on the menu forever, but today I saw that they have many versions of heart, gizzards, tripe on their menu.
fwiw, we tried the 'canary beans' for the first time today and they were deeelish.

More offal sitings: the Globe had a review today of Framinham's Sichuan place, Red Pepper, and they raved a pork kidney in fermented black bean sauce (called 'black curded' just to confuse matters.)

I had this the other day. It all goes well together. I do miss the old version of the so-called Blue Ribbon Pizza, which had braised oxtail instead of the heart/tripe. There was something about the softness/moistness of the oxtail that "joined" the marrow to the rest of the pizza in an organic, satisfying way (the melted marrow could be absorbed by the braised meat—much the way his bone marrow plating years ago at KO Prime did). Now, they seem like a bunch of yummy, random ingredients that happen to share space on the same pizza. Which is still good, just less poetry, in a way.
I also liked it when there was a lot more of the fresh horseradish grated onto it, but reviews were always mixed for that move.

Did you try it?
Maybe it's me, but it doesn't sound like tripe would be a good fit on that pizza.

I just looked at Coppa's menu and this pizza doesn't have tripe on it. I thought this was something new, but it's the same pizza as on their regular menu.
I've always like their Pepe Bianco/White clam pizza with bacon and baby leeks.
