  • You don't want to know what these are, at least if you intend to eat them.

  • Yeah. I know what they are. I don't know why they're spelled chitterlings, though, when nobody EVER says it that way. They're chitlins!

    Prob'ly because pronouncing it "chit-ter-lings" might could get you killed, some places. :)

    P.S. Skip? Have you eaten these? Or... cleaned them?

    October 28, 2007

  • Never cleaned them and hopefully never will. I have eaten them, though, on several occasions. It's kind of a rite of passage.
