Return the tripe to the pot and add the onion, cloves, peppercorns, and garlic. Add 2 quarts of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook at a high simmer for 30 minutes. Add the stock and continue to cook for 2½ hours, or until the tripe is very tender. Add the vegetables and herbs and simmer for 15 minutes. Check the seasonings. Serve immediately in heated bowls.
