I was watching some bbq on TV and the gentleman was cooking pig intestines.  What's the proper pronounciation ?

Chitlands ?  Chitlen ? not sure, sounded as if he was saying shitlands and I was lmao  :roflmao:

[KySongDog]

The name used around here is Chitlins.

I did your research for ya.  See  Chitlins

I would rather starve to death and eat my own leg before I ate that crap!     Rocky Mountain oysters is as brave as I get.

Come on now Silencer!!( shitlands)  CHITLINSis the proper name, that's what they will serve at the inaugural ball when Obama goes in.   cc

what I find funny is people will not eat hogma but will eat sausage.  just for you southerners hogma is a german dish that you stuff a pigs stomach with potatoes fresh sausage carrots cabbage and stuffing.  people hear the pig stomach and think it is sick so then I say O so you like eating fresh sausage right?  most of the time they will say yes.  the only difference between fresh sausage and hogma is sausage is farther on down the line to the chit hole.  maybe they like eating chit? 

[alscalls]

Around here we call em GUTS and leave them on the ground. Then we make fresh sausage and can it........without the guts.
but I do enjoy a sausage link now an then.......so I cant complain about someone else cleaning them so I can eat them.

[Silencer]

Thanks for the link Semp.  The guy doing the taste test claimed they tasted like prime rib.  I'd give it go if prepared properly, I wouldnt trust anyone around my town 

[coyotehunter_1]

"Shitlands"... close enough !  

That reminds me of a friend from Michigan that never knew what Chitlins really were until he came south. He always thought it was what us "down south folk " called baby chickens.    

I've tried stuffed chitin's once or twice but never acquired a true taste for them.    

Now crackling cornbread is another story... Yummmmm !

You forgot one Bill ...... head cheese.

[DirtyDog]

Give me a big ole fat juicy cheeseburger with a big ole mess of steak fries and I'll settle for that. 

[Silencer]

So what is Souse ? 

Is this correct ? 

SOUSE
Head cheese, also called souse and brawn, is a jellied loaf or sausage. Originally it was made entirely from the meaty parts of the head of a pig or calf, but now can include edible parts of the feet, tongue, and heart. The head is cleaned and simmered until the meat falls from the bones, and the liquid is a concentrated gelatinous broth. Strained, the meat is removed from the head, chopped, seasoned and returned to the broth and the whole placed in a mold and chilled until set, so it can be sliced.

[Bills Custom Calls]

That sounds about right I was pretty young when all that stuff was going on,but I do remember eating
it

Pickeled heart,toung,and pigs feet also
