11. Molise

Tripe dumplings
With a population of less than half a million and fewer tourism sites than its neighbors, Molise is perhaps Italy's least known region to outsiders. As in neighboring Abruzzo, the uneven terrain makes lamb the livestock of choice.
In Molise, they eat almost every bit of the creature -- lamb offal is a feature of many traditional dishes. Allulur is a dish of tripe dumplings, encased in the sheep's rumen (part of the stomach) and boiled.
At Trattoria da Nonno Cecchino (Italian site only; Via Larino 32, Campobasso; +39 0874 311 778), the tripe is seasoned with garlic, parsley and chili pepper.
