Navigating “Tripes” with Jennifer McClagan
Listen now
Description
French idioms often use body parts to evoke emotion. Feeling things dans les tripes means feeling them at your core; having le spleen is a way of evoking malaise. A crise de foie – a liver crisis – is another term for indigestion, and having mal aux reins or “painful kidneys” means you have backache. That the French are so familiar with their bodies may be one reason that they’re also so comfortable with eating all parts of them, as Emily discusses with Jennifer McClagan, the acclaimed author of books entitled Bones, Odd Bits, and Blood.
