Much more fun was the Tripperia Fiorenzano, a tiny and immaculate place that specialised in tripe dishes. It had five tables, each with a blue-checked oilcloth, big, battered fridges at the back, a small kitchen down one side and, fronting the street, a small display cabinet decorously hung with blanched tripe, cows' feet, pigs' trotters and a bit of calf's head, kept cool and clean by water running over them, ready for home cooking. Antonio Moglie, a third-generation trippaio - a tripe specialist; a butcher and cook all in one - ran the place with his son. He cooked to order in a battered pot, using just olive oil, tomatoes, chilli, salt and lots of pepper, the distinguishing spice in Neapolitan cookery.
