In a large pot, combine tripe, knuckles, bacon, sausage, quartered onion, celery, whole garlic cloves, pepper, parsley and cover with water. Bring water to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Froth will start to rise, so remove it as it comes with a large spoon. After 30 minutes, remove the sausage. As the other meats cook and become tender, remove them. De-bone the knuckles and cut into chunks. Cut the tripe and bacon into chunks too. Cut the sausage in half lengthwise, then diagonally. You should have a parade of meats out of your pot, this is good. Then, strain the stock from your pot and set aside.
