Are those hand slung, stump whupped, or creek warshed?
If you want to stump people, ask them what the correct spelling is.
I have but no thank you.
NOOOOO way. If it has any other name besides MEAT it's dog food.

The local Wal Mart always has them in their freezer chest. It's all protein.

I was invited to some friends' house for Christmas dinner one year.
I pulled into the driveway, got out of the car, and was odorously assaulted by this horrible smell wafting out the kitchen windows.
Imagine my surprise (a polite term) when I realized the smell came from an item on the menu, and that I was supposed to eat the stuff. Yep...chitlins.
Well, I've eaten chitlins. Once. No, I did not ask for seconds. The only way I managed to get them down was by smothering them in tabasco.
The only thing worse I've eaten was back in 1972, when two old mountain women served up squirrel dumplins for dinner.

If they are the same as Chitterlings, yes, I have eaten them to be polite when at friend's house. Not something I would ever choose off a menu or eat voluntarily, but the taste wasn't too bad; it was the texture I found off-putting.

Come on guys. It's made with pork. Anything pork has to be awesome, right?

Does anyone else know what goes into bologna and hot dogs?
In '74, I went to a 'chitlin festival' in Camden SC. The number of ways they were prepared was astounding.
Everything from chitlin calimari, stuffed with ??? and grilled, battered and fried to deep fried with chocolate and bacon sprinkles.
Beer is a definite asset.
I hear these are only good if inverted.
For family reunions and get togethers my aunt always made a big batch each of fried gizzards, chitlins, and steak tartare. I remember the first time I tried them and thought they were ok. That is, until my brother told me what they were, from then on I stuck with the bratwurst that was always served up. I think he actually liked them, then again, he loved pickled herring too.

Mine was prepared by the Korean grandmother of a friend. It was grilled on the BBQ with some sort of very spicy, mildly sweet sauce, then diced with grilled veggies and served with lettuce leafs to wrap the diced mixture. The flavor was OK - the sauce was great - but I likened the texture to a cross between under-cooked squid and gristle. I don't recall the name of the dish but she referred to the chitterlings as Gop.

I've never had southern style chitlins, but when during the 11 years I lived on the rez ate more than my share of sheep guts, called 'ach'íí'. The Navajos clean and tie up the small intestine around a length of large intestine and then grill them till they're crispy like bacon.

Boiled or fried. I would need to know who is cooking them I wouldn't just eat anyone's cooking. When my paternal Grandmother cooked them they were great. She raised 11 kids and countless farmhands in the AR delta on not much more than a sharecropper's living - she could make dirt taste good.
She cleaned them outside and brined them. Her house did not smell when she cooked them (or any other time for that matter). Boiled she made a dish with sauerkraut. Quite tasty. Salty and the kraut went well together.
Fried, well they are fried. Like everything else she fried in cast iron it was awesome and peppery.
The only thing you can't eat on a pig is it's oink and it's ghost - everything else somebody somewhere eats it.
