What Bugs me about Chitterlings

Mr Tibbs said:

They stink up the whole house for days!

I have a friend who says the same of cabbage.

Don't get me wrong, I'd eat my own foot to stay alive

Do your feet stink?

Quoted message said:

don't you have to boil the poopee out first?

No. You meticulously clean the poopee out, first.

Quoted message said:

Isn't this what makes the house stank?

yes

Quoted message said:

How exactly do you cook them to make them taste good.

Toss a couple gloves of garlic and a couple onions in a big pot of
boiling water and cook for a couple hours. Serve with Louisiana hot
sauce. Yum!

The house will still stink, but only for a day.

I've never cooked them.
I suspect I will never buy them.

Don't get me wrong, I'd eat my own foot to stay alive

but pig intestines? whuh

don't you have to boil the poopee out first?

Isn't this what makes the house stank?

Otherwise...

How exactly do you cook them to make them taste good.

They must be good, they buy them down the street by the bucket full!

They're cheap! Probably not a preferred cut. You might try pig
brains; poopee only appears in human brains. There's no mad pig
disease, is there? Chicken brains aren't feasible; too many chickens
per serving. There is bird's nest soup where poopee is, I believe,
part of the flavor. Wait there's a ringing in my head; I'd better
answer it.

is it a "bustle" or a ringing! theres a difference

I wonder what the texture of chitterlings is like
i would think "meaty" and not guey

maybe put some hot sauce on them

I grew up in the deep South and although my grandmother often used pig
parts (feet, tail, etc.) as a seasoning, she never once cooked
chitterlings.

Yes, they are definitely "meaty" in texture. You wouldn't think it,
to look at them, but if prepared right, they are very good. The key
is in the cleaning. It's difficult and time consuming and if not
done correctly, the end result (no pun intended) is quite unappetizing.

I've eaten them once and that was enough to do me for a lifetime. They
tasted just like [censored] smells, plain and simple. They were swimming in
hot sauce, I kid you not, but nothing could kill that gawd-awful taste.
I could not get to the trash can fast enough to spit that vile [censored]
out. Someone else finished them and couldn't see the problem, they
said that's the way they are supposed to taste and the ones given to me
were excellent.

Yeah, right.

No, you just scrub the poopie off just like you do from vegetables
grown in poopie.

They must be good, they buy them down the street by the bucket full!

First you have to know how to pronounce them - it's "chitlins" despite
how it's spelled. Once they are washed well, you coat them in flour
mixed with spices (pepper, garlic, onion powder and chili powder) and
deep fry them. They don't stink if you prepare them properly.

Secondly, if you think chitlins are the only food stuff containing
[censored], you'd be wrong. Many shellfish still contain [censored] when you eat
them, as do escargot. Not that I expect you be eating escargot any
time soon.

Cleaning is everything. The ones I had the first time were excellent
and I saw them being prepared. I tried to replicate what I saw and
was unsuccessful and the results were inedible. Yes, there will be
somewhat of a smell no matter how well cleaned. But, it's more
unfamiliar to the uninitiated than offensive. Like I said before,
even cabbage offends some. But, properly cleaned chitlins do not
taste like the slightly offputting odor. Would you pass up an awesome
prime rib meal just because someone cut a particularly oderous fart?
I think not.

You have to realize that chitlins are one thing. Slave food. They
are what the slave owners did not want to eat and what was left of the
hog for slaves to use, much like ears, feet, etc. Slaves didn't want
to eat [censored]. They just wanted to eat. They learned that if prepared
properly, chitlins were not only eatible, but good eats. There's an
old saying about best friends. Something about a best friend is
someone who's chitlins you'd be willing to eat. 😉

Hmmm... I've heard of frying, but never tried it.
