Flaki (Polish: [ˈflaki] ⓘ) or flaczki ([ˈflat͡ʂki] ⓘ) is a traditional Polish tripe stew. It is one of the many Polish soups, which represent an important part of Polish cuisine.[1][2] Along with bigos, żurek, and pierogi, it is one of the most notable specialities in Polish cuisine.[3][4] Its name is derived from its main ingredient: thin, cleaned strips of beef tripe (in Polish: flaki - which can also be literally translated to "guts").
