DID YOU HAVE CHITLINS FOR THANKSGIVING? OR SHOULD I SAY "CHITTERLINGS" I had some chitlins for thanksgiving. My girlfriend is Asian, and she attended my family thanksgiving activities and she was unaware that black people pronounce chitterlings as "chitlins". She never ate any chitlins before and she was baffled to hear us say chitlins instead of chitterlings because she saw the correct spelling (chitterlings) written on the buckets. I can't imagine hearing any of my family members say "will you please pass the chitterlings?" I never heard the correct pronounciation of the word chitterlings pronounced by a black person ever. Have you?

Exnay on the CHITLINS nay... Yeah, I like Charles Barkley. He makes a lot of sense and he ain't afraid to say what's on his mind. Chitlins is good, especially when you put some hot sauce and mustard on them...yummy.

I typed chitlins into google and received my answer in .11 seconds. For the record I chose one website, but they all said the same thing so take this as a fact.
http://www.moo-oink.com/C...istory.htm The History of Chitlins Chitterlings is the formal name, but most folks call ‘em Chitlins. And, if you know about chitlins, well there is nothing formal about them. They are the large intestines of a pig. As such, they possess a distinct, er aroma when you cook them. Some people turn up their noses (literally and figuratively) at the mention of chitlins. They are a food that most people either love or hate. However, Chitlins have a unique and storied history in Southern American culture. And, I’m here to tell ya, when served with hot sauce, ham, turkey, macaroni & cheese, collard greens and sweet potato pie…ain’t nuttin better! As the story goes, chitlins were served to slaves as the discards of the pig after the slave masters took all the best parts. Forget about the ham, bacon, pork chops and loins. What we got was the ears, feet and chitlins. Since they were considered slave food, some African Americans consider them demeaning or offensive and refuse to eat them. For the same reason, some Black folks are closet chitlin eaters. They love them, but don't want people to know, and wouldn’t be caught dead ordering them in public. But, don’t make the mistake of thinking chitlins are an African American dish. Chitlins are also very popular among Southern whites, who consider them part of Southern cooking. Chitlins are also part of Cajun cooking. Andouille sausage is made from chitlins and tripe. Mexicans eat chitlins in a spicy, tomato-based soup. Hungarians use chitlins as casing and stuffing for sausages. Chitlin sausages are also a delicacy in France; And, Chitlins can be found in certain Asian dishes. You don't just eat chitlins, though. You gotta clean them first. Unless you’ve purchased Moo & Oink Hand-Cleaned Chitlins. After cleaning, chitlins are put on for a long boil, often with hog maws, a little vinegar, salt, pepper and onions. To absorb the distinctive smell while they’re cooking, some people toss in a potato or an apple. . [This message was edited Sat Nov 30 14:42:03 PST 2002 by lovemachine] | |

I'm just curious to see if anybody pronounce the correct pronounciation of the word chitterlings. _______________________________________________________________________________________ You can hate me for who I am, cuz I won't be something that i'm not. | |

Ha! That's a very discrete way of putting it! Hey, Lovemachine, that article is about as dead-on as you can get. Though I didn't know that other cultures outside of America ate chitlins. And I've never known some Blacks to be closet chitlin eaters, but it doesn't surprise me. I've eaten them when I was younger, but had a bad experience with them, and don't eat them anymore.

i think old people down south (where i'm from) had no teeth and it sounded like 'chitlins' and as culture evolved, so did the word. With no teeth, evrything is mush

"Mexicans eat chitlins in a spicy, tomato based soup"
I think that's a reference to menudo, but i was always told that it was cow's intestines in the menudo. Spices, hominy, and inerds...yummy! Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |
