So it appears that a train compartment would be a safe place to stealthy down some chitlins.

As far as my stomach is concerned, there is NO safe place for downing anybody's chitterlings!

I can remember playing at a friend's house when I was a little girl,and something in the house smelled SO awful! Back at home,I told my mom that it smelled like they were cooking poo poo.lol She laughed,and xplained what chitlins were.

I'd appreciate it if you'd keep your bait & bullshit right here, NOT in my inbox. Thanks

CalhounSq said:

I took this face to mean a lack of real opinion and thought I recalled you were a vegetarian. Hence the hungry tease. ( As you and I have never shared a cross word I can't see for the life of me where you thought otherwise.)
The " I expected that response! " I placed in your in box was further evidence I thought you were teasing back. I am sorry you were somehow offended.

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

Honestly I didn't know where you were coming from w/ that. I'm not a vegetarian (I hope to be someday but I'm not there yet), but now I get it. I did think it was odd b/c we've never had words & I really thought you were just being foul for some out of the blue reason. No offense taken, I just thought it was out of left field

Cool.

I tried it once.
It tasted like chit.

Oh my god, there's a fuckin' chitlin strut in SC every year. No way in hell you can drag me to THAT. I tried them when I was about 6.....never touched them since.

"The main focus of the festival is the preparation and consumption of large amounts of chitterlings,"

There's even a pageant too.....that one crown I wouldn't want.

you don't wanna be chitlin queen?

Many poor (mostly black) families in the south worked for farmers (the majority of whom were white). The farmers and their families got the choice parts from the pig and other animals. The workers and their families got what was left over, mainly the chitterlings, tripe, ears, etc. These, along with other things like chicken feet and salt pork (or "fatback" as it is more commonly known), became a staple of the black diet. There was also a bread called crackling, which is basically a sort of cornbread filled with bits of cooked pork. A diet such as this is, of course, not the healthiest one to partake of. But, it was what they had to make do with.

Consequently, when a lot of families migrated to the north, those dietary habits were heavily ingrained and passed on to the next generation in some cases. In the south, a lot of these things are considered a delicacy in black AND white families.

Let's just say I have firsthand experience in these things

I love cracklin' cornbread. mmmmm.

No, I'll pass on that one

'chitlin' or 'chiterling'

I just googled for a pic of chitlins, all I can say is

Who still eats it? I must confess I did eat it a couple of times eons ago, over 15 years ago. I distinctly remember watching my mom cleaning that thing for what seems like hours on New Years Day. Oh yeah the distinct smell of vinegar was crucial, ugh and the chewing. Funny, I can't even look at it now.
