So with Thanksgiving coming up fast, we need to talk about how amazing chitlins are ( or chitterlings if you're lame). For those who don't know, chitlins are pig intestines. They take a lot of work to clean and can be pretty gross, but with the right seasoning and some hot sauce, they can be really tasty. Anyone else planning to have this wonderful dish this year?
 
I fucking love tripe, but beef callos are the superior form of guts.

So savoury. So chewy.
 
Even thinking about it makes me want to barf. Not to mention the smell oh god the smell.

Chitlins. Chitterlings. Food eaten by slaves and the poor because they couldn't have or afford the good part of the pig. I celebrate chitlins as an example of can do and the survival instincts of my people...

...but I ain't gonna eat'm. I tried them, I don't like them, and even if the cook cleans them properly, the smell stays in the kitchen. UGH.

Yeah the smell what really off putting when I first tired them. But... I don't know. I have kind of grown to like the smell a little. The cooked chitlings of course.
 
Yeah. not bad if cooked properly. Green onions and bell pepper gives them a great taste. Smell is no good, but I guess you get used to them if you've been having them cooked in the house all your life. We have them only once a year for New years with black eye peas, cornbread. Add some hot sauce and it's pretty damn good.

Yes! That sounds amazing.
 
This is perhaps the worst idea of a thanksgiving food I've ever heard of.

I'll go enjoy my delicious turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and gravy thank you very much.
 
Cook it with olives, onions, white wine, pine nuts, potatoes and carrots, and tomato sauce. Serve it with a shitload of parmesan. It's godly.

Looks damn good, but the pine nuts are kind of out there. Chickpeas, man, it needs chickpeas. And Spanish chorizo. And blood sausage. And pig feet.

XenodudeX, get a Spanish-speaking friend (or drop by the Spanish thread) and get on that shit ASAP.

Pine nuts are like parsley, they go with everything. More pork is always a good idea though.

You know what else is incredible? Bone Marrow.

I would kill to slurp out some osso buco right now.
 
Also, beef tongue deserves at least a small mention.

Beef tongue must be a bitch to cook, but it's delicious.

One of my favorite local dishes is the Cima alla genovese, and its ingredients are glands, brains, testicles, mammaries, etc. Basically, being a poor, nutrient dish, any slaughter leftover and then some, sewed in a flesh sack.

It's pretty awesome that we still have 200-year-old tripe shops in my city.

ITT: Cholesterol overdose.

Edit: I've never heard of using the pig's tits for food. That's... interesting.
Edit 2: Wait, I just read that Cima alla genovese is made of cow bits. Not that eating udders sounds any less odd.
 
I've always wanted to try them.

I don't understand how people buy the main ingredient, though. I've seen them frozen, but never raw. How does one get them? Are you buying intestines full of shit? Tripe isn't in the butcher's case swimming in stomach acids. Meat doesn't have a furry skin on it. Sausages can have intestinal casing. Even your natural lambskin condoms arrive shit-free. Why not chitterlings (does one still spell it correctly, even if you call it chit'lins?)? Does the butcher not provide this service?

lol no. I think grocery stores mainly sell pre cleaned chitlins, but it's probably a good idea to clean them again. They sell them raw also.
