Crossword Genius

Sort of dish of cooked tripe (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

petri

'sort of dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cooked tripe' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator.
'tripe' anagrammed gives 'PETRI'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for petri that I've seen before include "-- Dish, used for cultures" , "Man with a signature dish" , "Scientist" , "Laboratory dish" , "Cultures are grown in a -- dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
