Was given a 5lb bag of frozen pork chitterlings

[Heartstrings]

Anyone have a good recipe for these, please?

1. Don't most people fry them?

Just remember to wash your hands often and thoroughly when handling. Can be a real problem, otherwise.

My qualifier--never eaten them but have investigated gastrointestinal disease outbreaks involving them (thus the admonition)... Obviously a 'delicacy' for many in the deep South.

2. Pig intestines. I'm not sure what a good recipe could possibly be.

3. Wash them thoroughly

Be sure to remove the membrane, wash your hands and sink even more thoroughly, then discard chitterlings in trash. Thorough washing helps remove the stink before discarding.

7. This is the correct answer!

4. Clean them well.

After extensive cleaning, many boil them until tender adding seasons for taste, and throw in chopped white onions.

They smell really really bad when cleaning.

5. Well, yeah; they would smell bad. They're *intestines!*

[Iliyah]

6. Yeah, but cooked right, some good eating.

Yum

8. Do you eat the whole intestine, including the asshole?

9. My Granny used to fry them.

If memory serves, she boiled them for a longtime. She then fried them in butter almost to the point of falling apart. They were served in greens or beans.

My father reports that during the depression, they raised and slaughtered their own hogs and "ate everything except the oink." Even when she no longer had to eat them, Granny still loved her chitlins.

10. LOL You can use them as good catfish bait. nt

[LakeArenal]

11. Yes.

Place in ziplock bag. Carry bag to trash Dispose of properly....


PS Just a joke chitterlings lovers.

12. In Japan they do motsu like this

Run water through lengths of the intestine
slice into rings then into squares
Wash thoroughly in salted water remove any membranes
Pat dry then sprinkle with salt and rice vinegar or mirin
After sitting salted and vinegared for at least an hour rinse again
liberaly powder with white pepper and steam until tender

It's better than chitterlings ive eaten in America
