Yea I agree. It’s somewhat a stereotype. But I’m 33 never had any chitlins, not even a drop of chitlin juice but I’ve seen people eat them at family functions , they just didn’t intrigue me to want a taste 😅I just remember for sum reason chitlins always caused some strange excitement , so this video is interesting for sure lol
As a Native growing up in the South in North Carolina we ate just about every part of the 🐖 pig Or any animal we had Generations of Good Soul Cooking and Family time I sure miss Them days My mom grandmother not here anymore but i took up their Skills and babee im so Thankful for all!! R.i.p. to my ancestors who are no longer with us and Thankyou for all you've taught/Given me especially them Soulful recipes!!❤❤❤❤
@@3RDEYEDNTLIE Waste not, want not. One thing about it, they made whatever they cooked taste good. I can hear the descendants of the slave owner saying, you mean they were eating this good? 😂
Right there with you! Feel free to shoot any of your recipes my way. Especially authentic cornbread dressing. Waiting for it to get a little cooler before I cook a batch of dem chitlins and hook up some coleslaw
I'm a first generation Sicilian American. I like them with greens, macaroni and cheese, cornbread and hot sauce. Poor folks from all over the world eat the same shit. They just put a different sauce in it.
Growing up my Granny made chitlins,hog maws,and potatoes with bell peppers and onions,i loved it and still love them till this day,i wish i had a bowl right now
I did eat my grandmother and aunts also only because I knew they were clean It stopped with my generation my Children would run to keep from eating them😂
I can recall going to a Chinese restaurant in Alhambra California, "fried chitlins" were on the menu. Written in the Chinese language of course with a translation underneath.
I reading how everyone dislikes chittlins and how gross they are but let's not forget what a natural casing is when it comes to sausage. So in one way or another you are eating an animal's intestines. It's ok not to like them.
I was in Japan having dinner and they bought out a plate of raw meat to be grilled at the table. All the white people with me wondered what a curious slither of meat was that was being grilled. I knew right away...they were grilling chitlins in Japan...they were delicious...lol.
I don't eat intestines that's some of the nastiest stuff you can consume, and yes that includes sausage with pork casing, but I don't eat pork at all🤷🏿♂️ so no shyt on my plate, and who ever thought to wrap intestines around some seasoned meat was gone out their mind, p.s you wouldn't eat any that smelled like shyt but when it comes to shytlings you'll make an exception 🤢
Always cracks me up when people think that this is something that all Black people eat. I’m from Germany, chitlins are eaten on a daily basis, they are extremely popular there. I don’t eat them, but I won’t knock anybody who does
Nah, but its apart of our blk american culture, like some people bring up watermelon as a insult, when watermelon is a healthy nourishment. Not all of us eat it either. IMO that is something we should eat on the regular
@@Abstract.Noir414 It's a European given to us part of our culture & not originally actually part of our culture This is the often vital overlooked part
As I've always said, if you call them chitterlings, you definitely don't eat them. That said, my memory of chitlins is playing outdoors for hours (whether I actually wanted to or not) while grown-ups were washing and cooking them. As an adult, I let the entire pig go, innards and outards.
First time I heard them being called Chitterlings. I grew up with blacks. They always called them Chitlins. We call them Tripas. DELICIOUS! especially in taco form
One time, I went to my Uncles house and upon entering through the door, this overwhelming smell of FECES hit my nose like a brick wall. I thought someone took a dump in the middle of the living room and let it sit there for days. I could not BELIEVE how foul smelling chitlins were!!! It was so bad, it was the first time I ever got angry at my Uncle for ANYTHING, because I felt attacked. Meanwhile, everyone else in the house was just walking around as if they didn't smell what I was smelling. Well, if you've been living under the same roof as someone who's been cooking it for years, you get accustomed to it. To his credit, he didn't know I was coming, but man did it make me gag the entire short visit I was there.
One other fact about " Chittlin's " Chitterlings, They were free at the butcher shop once upon a time, Many Of My Elders have stated this, I believe once It was realized that a profit could be made Then came a Market for them.
True dat…. My grandmother had away to clean her chittlins and the house didn’t smell. I can count on one hand whose chittlins I ate after I got grown. Now my cousin has passed and my bestie has gout, so I don’t think about tasting no one else. My oldest daughter 50 and son is 48 like them but my youngest daughter 36 and son 35, be like no way. The older one grew up around my grandmother, by the time the 2 others was born grandma had dementia, I told them that was the life…. They say whatever😂😂😂. Sorry being for being long winded.

I just want to thank you for this short and rich history of the reason black folks eat chitlins and the origin of chitlins that I never really knew. Besides being a slave food , I did not know that it was a representation of family values, cultural traditions for holidays such as Christmas and good luck for the New Years. This video was most educational for me and thanks again.
Im an old-school Southern black woman and I don't eat them.. never have.. And my Mother was known as the greatest soul food cook in my area.. also.made anything taste good.
Buy precleaned. Thaw and put in water to wash. Only one piece of small fat in over fifteen years. The bags let you see them. I normally clean and cook for friends. They trust me and know they are clean. I hate those big buckets. Eight pounds of ice and two pounds of guts. Torn and disgusting and stink. Thaw bag in water unopened. Cinch and very little smell. The buckets are washed in bleach and salt and torn by machines.😊
This is absolutely amazing. When I told my granny I know how to cook and clean chitlins she was so shocked, surprised and proud. I learned it allll from her!😊
Buy precleaned in clear bags. I like Aunt Bessie's or Danish. Cost more but once thawed, takes no time to rinse and wash. Usually have 5 or 6 guys. Don't have that smell. Pour water off as they cook. Add hog maws and cook until done. The buckets contain 8 pounds of water and 2 pounds of torn chitterlings. Hard to clean and cook. I've used these for at least fifteen years and am a happy camper. Don't let price scare you. Uncle Lou's are okay. I had a problem and they refunded my money. Great company service. Never buckets again!
😮😮😮😮 WHAT !!!!!!!! AND TO THINK DURING THE SLAVERY TIMES THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE MASTER THREW AWAY AND THE BLACK PEOPLE GOT IT TO EAT IT BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THEY HAD. NOW THE PRICE OF HIS HIDING STEAK UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!!
Black is not only loved chitterlings. I worked for white a southern restaurant in Tenn. They had a Thursday night chitterlings, all you can eat. For mostly white morjority. So it's loved by many.
It started with black People who were slaves, slaves cooked for the white slave masters and that’s why many white people down south eat them, because at first chit lings was the scraps the slave masters didn’t want
Been going to the Salley Chitlin Strut here in SC since a child in the 60's. The lines are down the street. Fun times and memories. I like them fried with hot sauce and a clothes pin.
I use to eat them. But the younger generation turn up their noses at them 😂. They do stink . But all nationalities eat them we shouldn't be ashamed of our heritage. It was a matter of survival.
Wow, just WOW! I'm 70 years old & this excellent educational video shows me that I still am able to learn something that I never knew our #ADOS (& others' ) culture, but I STILL will not eat pork ESPECIALLY stinky chittlin's'! I must admit, however, that there was a time that I was known to "put my foot" in a pot of chittlin's that ALWAYS sold out when offered on the weekend fundraising platter menu! Shalom all. 🦁❤🖤💚
You 😂 one ☝🏾 of the people doing that Holy Land BS. Our people left that area for a reason Eons ago. America, Turtle Island is our land. Taken over by Europeans invaders. Now so many our black citizens are living a lie off converts in a rock we left Eons ago. From Hebrew to American Indian to N Word to Negro to Black to 🤦🏾♂️ African American. We not Africans. A few ancestors did come from Africa recently. We don’t know our history. It’s coming out slowly however. Get the complete picture.
Yea raised them up to 40$ for 10 pounds. The price finally went down to 12$ this year.. thank goodness because I love them.. I only eat them twice a year 😅
That cook book is amazing, I bought it because of this Chanel. I have always wondered what Chitlins where and now I know I would only try them from a an African American Momma.
Plenty of poor white families survived on them as well. As did poor people the world over for centuries. But I get your point. When I get Chinese carryout I better see Orientals running the kitchen!
When I was a kid my cousins who lived directly next door to my grandparents had a chitlins bucket they were cleaning out.Instead of properly cleaning it they instead had a water hose running in it which overflowed and pieces of leftover chitlin meat/juices were streaming from the backyard to the front into the nearby sewer drainage.Mind you this was in the middle of the summer so the stench was powerful and lasted all day.I never had chitlins before but after that I vowed that's one meal I'll never ever attempt to eat and I'm standing on it still 20 yrs later
They might have started out a poorman's meal but AS far as I'm concerned, its a DELIACY! The 2lbs I cooked up last week were just as expensive as fresh Maine lobster!
I grew up eating them, and I still do eat them, especially with some Texas Pete hot sauce. But last year it was so hard to find a decent bucket or packet. Because by the time you clean them, it was nothing left. You were lucky if you had a handful of chitterlings out of a 10 pound bucket. And yes, I do call them chitterlings.
Growing up in New Orleans all i heard about chitterlings was that they Stink but if you clean them thoroughly and properly they taste good..No Thanks..Have no problem with pork..but No pig ears Definitely No Chitterlings..Love&Peace luv ya byo eJ ❤😊
I loved them as a child growing up in my parents household, then I found out where they really came from, and how unhealthy they are, I haven't eaten any since. That was 22 years ago.
As I got older I realized what I was eating as a child it bothered me, because they came the Intestines of pigs and some from other animals. I said to you can't get those things that clean to eat, now 8 wonder about other things that has been manufactured that we eat ya know.
As a kid that grew up with southern grandparents, I despised that red bucket!!!!!! Seeing that bucket appear in the kitchen a few times a year meant that the house was about to STANK to high hell.... for weeks!!!!!! 🤮 Many times, my granny would prepare 2 buckets worth of this mess. This was to have enough for other people too. Smh!
@@Kam876. Nothing I loved more as a kid than the entire house smelling like a giant bowel movement... for weeeks! 🤣🤣🤣 (Definitely, those are memories to cherish!)
My father said after WWII in Chicago. You had to go to the packing house and buy chittlins, tripe, pig feet, neck bones, oxtails, tongue, brain, etc for pennies on the pound. Because it wasnt in the store. And once they found out how many blackpeople were eating them. They raised the prices and put it in the supermarket.
Crazy to see things we grew up eating for cheap become so expensive. Especially oxtails. Its mind boggling. We ate oxtails with beans all the time. Now having oxtails is a treat. They are $12.99lb in LA. Smh
My grandma told me stories about eating most of the pig. But chittlins was fed to the dogs, along with other organ meats. With all the feral pigs around, I eat the good parts and feed the rest to my dogs and chickens
@@nadas.5643for real, I saw oxtails in Walmart for 27 bucks a package!! I need 4 packs for my cookouts alone, that ain’t counting what the rest of the meat costs!! Whew , looks like I’m doing pig roasts instead of bbq this year.
I am a black female who is almost 70 years old. I love to eat chitterlings with hot sauce. Why? To me they taste good. Put them with some corn bread and black eye peas- you got a really yummy meal.
I like chitlins, but I no longer make them. Instead, I cook hog maws (pork stomach). No off putting odor, and the preparation is considerably less labor intensive. I freeze them, then slice them into strips with a very sharp knife once they've thawed a bit. Much more difficult to slice when completely thawed. I then toss them in a crock pot with water and chicken stock or bouillon until very tender. Typically, I throw in lots of onion, some minced garlic, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, rosemary, a little soy sauce, ac vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Occasionally, I'll prepare chicken gizzards and hearts similarly. No need to slice them, though.
Sounds absolutely delicious 🤤 My mother would always scrape the inside and backside of the pork maws before washing, and cooking them. She scraped them with a sharp knife to remove the slimy flesh from them, it was much easier than cleaning chitterlings. So, if I were to attempt to freeze them before cutting them into strips I will definitely have to scrape them off first.
This video should be entitled, _"Why has the cost of Chitterlings risen so high that we can barely afford them today?"_ The reason is because white folks are eating them now... and they love 'em!
@@bf1822 You are the one that sounds crazy bc even the smarter slaves who could go hunt or secure their own food during the plantation era didn't eat no damn pig poop & for painfully obvious reasons
My mama cooked them every Christmas if I recall correctly. Because of how important it was to clean them thoroughly, I haven't eaten any since she passed. This is off the subject, but the food shown at 4:52 point in the video reminded me of how I recall my grandmama having cooked a meal and me going to her house after school and she might have fried chicken, cooked collards, cornbread and black eyed peas! She was a phenomenal cook and baker!
There's many things in our culture that needs to go forever, we aint slaves anymore. Our people leveled up in so many different ways over the years. Now we need to focus on mental and physical health. Too many of us have heart disease and diabetes, which are mostly avoidable. Too many of us deal with mental health issues.
I worked as the only white guy on a maintenance crew in high school, where I was treated like a prince and got to experience different foods. My boss was an older man who was a walking library of black history. He practically became my uncle - what an honor. Chitterlings were certainly part of my experience. We German-Americans similarly use healthier meat substitutes, but sometimes one must keep to the traditional, real thing. Great video sir.
hello , chitterlings , are a tasty delicacy😋😋😋😋😋. i am mainly plant based now , but , grew up eating them , on very special occasions . i could hardly wait , for them to get done🤫🤫🤫🤫. i don't care who tries to malign them , they are tasty. the slaughter houses used to throw them out , as offal . when they noticed people out there , snapping them up , they started selling them . chitlins , are very expensive now , and yes , many cultures eat chitterlings , or some form of....... great content , thank you , for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.................
The reason why is because back in that era that was the only type of food that they was give us was the scraps, which is funny now that we still eat it I’ve never eaten it in my life!!
It is the pesasent or poor folks food. Also there is hog-head cheese or souce meat, .... you will be suprise to know what in some popular big box can food.
They remind me of the new year and my grandparents i understand why some people dont eat them but the more. 4 us that do and less to clean happy holidays everybody 🎉
I watch a lot of cultures cooking shows and noticed there are other cultures that eat chittlins. They call them a different name and may use diff seasonings.
One of my best friends is Phillipino and she said they are a delicacy in her country. They actually fry them up and use to sale them for $10 dollars for a few pieces and probably for more now
I was born and raised in Mississippi. Chitterlings were never a dish served in our home......nor my grandparents. But I do have relatives that eat them. Just something I never wanted.
This is a part of the Good Luck dinner for the New Year, our dinner menu is Pork, Sweet Potatoes, Cabbage, Buttermilk cornbread, and Rum cake. My mother (pass 😢on) would put her foot in this meal. ❤
Chitlins are mostly a Southern FBA food, I'm a 40 y/o black man from NYC, been here since 6 and the only people I've met in my lifetime that like/eat that are Southerners or have family in the South. I've had the displeasure of smelling it being cooked and didn't see any appeal in trying to taste it. No judgements though because I am Jamaican born and we have our foods most people don't eat either
My parents were country folks and we had them all the time growing up. My ex wife cooked them as well, but I haven’t had them in a long time. They were great with pepper sauce or hot sauce. A lady I met from New Orleans told me if you put a potato in the pot it kills the smell.
Exactly, I've never in my life ate them. I hate it when people talk to or treat all black people like we've had the same experiences in life without understanding we are individuals.
Yes I remember Chitterlings being part of African American culture. However, this is a dish I chose not to carry on. Playfully and Thankfully we now have more HEALTHIER and CLEANER choices.
If you eat bacon you can eat Chitlins. ‘Oscar Myer’ ready made Chitlins all you have to do is heat them up and eat them up.😋 just put in a pot three sticks of butter or margarine, add onions and green peppers, a table spoon of oregano, two pints of water, tea spoon of salt and tea leaves, add two 3 pound containers of Chitlins. Boil a bag of rice. Boil the Chitlins for about a hour and boil the rice in a separate pot for about a hour. Stir, and after one hour let both sit for 5 minutes. Mix the rice with the Chitlins and invite all your family and friends over to eat. Just don’t tell them what it is until they finish eating all they want. 🙄🤔🤷🏼
I am a descendent of African slaves. Therefore, I’m African-American proud of it I just wanna share how resilient we are, and how great we are to have accomplished what we have in America and it’s just beginning. God bless America, protect her against all intruders, foreign domestic and evil.
The older generations of my family tried to get us younger people to like them so hard. We were just like, "but it smells like someone went to the bathroom everytime y'all are preparing them" 🤣🤣🤣 One of my older cousins tried to tell me that all I had to do was douse it in hot sauce. At which point I'm just like, "look, if you gotta douse something in *that much* hot sauce to make it edible... No thanks". I have another relative, an uncle, who absolutely *refuses* to eat shrimp because they're "bottom feeders" 🙄🤷🏾♂️, but will tear this ish up with the quickness 🙃 Make it make sense, lol
Ignorance is so sad. Chitterlings is eaten by 6 billion people in the world, in asia, africa, eastern europe, south america, etc.. it is only a small group of people who do not eat chitterlings, the anglo americans and those who follow them. cheers.
I am a Black man born and raised in the North to parents who were born in the Jim Crow South. My mom cooked them on New Years but I never ate them. They stunk. To this day, I have no idea what they taste like.
"I don't eat no part of a 🐷. It reminds me of the story when Jesus cast out the demons that were in a possessed man, and they requested that he allow them to go into a herd of swine. My theory is that they knew the pigs were filthy creatures just like them, and this the reason these animals commited suicide because even in their most filthy state the demons were far more filthy than them" 🙏🙏🙏
Not all black people eat chitterlings, that is a very big misconception.
💯, I ate them once when I was 5 years old. I’m 40 and never had them again.
Cause i don't not eating a bucket of shit

Yes, only 2 times a year.
Ewwwbthe whole house will stink, I said no thanks 😂😂😂😂 disgusting
Peel 2 small Irish potatoes, cut each potato into 4 quarters, add to pot of chitterlings. Viola! No smell.
I love them. Haven’t had any in 3 years due to shortage and now $30 for 10lbs
Me too, they have gotten way too expensive because you need at least 3 buckets and I cook mine with hog maws and the ears
During the pandemic, only sausage, ham and bacon were sold due to the shortage of workers available. They were thrown out in the trash.
Buy precleaned in clear bags. I like Aunt Bessie's or Danish. Cost more but once thawed, takes no time to rinse and wash. Usually have 5 or 6 guys. Don't have that smell. Pour water off as they cook. Add hog maws and cook until done. The buckets contain 8 pounds of water and 2 pounds of torn chitterlings. Hard to clean and cook. I've used these for at least fifteen years and am a happy camper. Don't let price scare you. Uncle Lou's are okay. I had a problem and they refunded my money. Great company service. Never buckets again!
😮😮😮😮 WHAT !!!!!!!!
AND TO THINK DURING THE SLAVERY TIMES THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE MASTER THREW AWAY AND THE BLACK PEOPLE GOT IT TO EAT IT BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THEY HAD. NOW THE PRICE OF HIS HIDING STEAK UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!!
10dollars a bucket at froogels in Gulfport Mississippi ❤
Black is not only loved chitterlings. I worked for white a southern restaurant in Tenn. They had a Thursday night chitterlings, all you can eat. For mostly white morjority. So it's loved by many.
I’m from a predominantly white town in Tennessee and they can’t keep them on the shelves.
Ooh my never like them no taste
RIGHT IT'S MORE A SOUTHERN THING
Is English your second language?
It started with black People who were slaves, slaves cooked for the white slave masters and that’s why many white people down south eat them, because at first chit lings was the scraps the slave masters didn’t want
Been going to the Salley Chitlin Strut here in SC since a child in the 60's. The lines are down the street. Fun times and memories. I like them fried with hot sauce and a clothes pin.
Never heard of this. I'll be there this year🎉
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣a clothes pin...took me 3 business days to get that, Good one!
I use to eat them. But the younger generation turn up their noses at them 😂. They do stink . But all nationalities eat them we shouldn't be ashamed of our heritage. It was a matter of survival.
Wow, just WOW! I'm 70 years old & this excellent educational video shows me that I still am able to learn something that I never knew our #ADOS (& others' ) culture, but I STILL will not eat pork ESPECIALLY stinky chittlin's'! I must admit, however, that there was a time that I was known to "put my foot" in a pot of chittlin's that ALWAYS sold out when offered on the weekend fundraising platter menu! Shalom all. 🦁❤🖤💚
You 😂 one ☝🏾 of the people doing that Holy Land BS. Our people left that area for a reason Eons ago. America, Turtle Island is our land. Taken over by Europeans invaders. Now so many our black citizens are living a lie off converts in a rock we left Eons ago. From Hebrew to American Indian to N Word to Negro to Black to 🤦🏾♂️ African American. We not Africans. A few ancestors did come from Africa recently. We don’t know our history. It’s coming out slowly however. Get the complete picture.
chitterlings have went up on there prices I remember when they were cheap now it's like a delicacy
Delicacy is the perfect word 👌
Ha! I didn't know chitterlings were raising their prices!😂😂😂
Yea raised them up to 40$ for 10 pounds. The price finally went down to 12$ this year.. thank goodness because I love them.. I only eat them twice a year 😅
I am American Black and I don’t like chitlins never have never will but my elders and ancestors is a different story ❤
That cook book is amazing, I bought it because of this Chanel. I have always wondered what Chitlins where and now I know I would only try them from a an African American Momma.
Plenty of poor white families survived on them as well. As did poor people the world over for centuries. But I get your point. When I get Chinese carryout I better see Orientals running the kitchen!
Cook book???😮
When I was a kid my cousins who lived directly next door to my grandparents had a chitlins bucket they were cleaning out.Instead of properly cleaning it they instead had a water hose running in it which overflowed and pieces of leftover chitlin meat/juices were streaming from the backyard to the front into the nearby sewer drainage.Mind you this was in the middle of the summer so the stench was powerful and lasted all day.I never had chitlins before but after that I vowed that's one meal I'll never ever attempt to eat and I'm standing on it still 20 yrs later
What you know about FNO💯💯🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾
😂 last time I ate some Dukey shoot, in the 80 undercooked I got sick, never again ate of the Dukey sack 😂
My granny would cook them on new year's day. My cousins are them with hot sauce, I wouldnt eat them...house stunk
@@kathleenking47 my grandmother ate them once or twice a year on certain occasions the rest of us didn't eat it though
They might have started out a poorman's meal but AS far as I'm concerned, its a DELIACY! The 2lbs I cooked up last week were just as expensive as fresh Maine lobster!
No in the USA they started as slave food .
Give me the lobster
To me, it's a delicacy, ALSO! Rare for ME to eat it!
🤮
Same here. I always refer to them as a delicacy.
Yes we love them going make some for Sunday dinner. Love watching u and learning
How you say I and not we bc we all dont 😂😂😂
Great interview 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
I grew up eating them, and I still do eat them, especially with some Texas Pete hot sauce. But last year it was so hard to find a decent bucket or packet. Because by the time you clean them, it was nothing left. You were lucky if you had a handful of chitterlings out of a 10 pound bucket. And yes, I do call them chitterlings.
Are you in the Carolina’s..because the only hot sauce we eat is Texas Pete 😂
Frank's hot sauce for me.
@@lcest3253 No I’m a Florida girl
By the way, good video. Love the channel and the hard work you put into your content, One Mic History.
I like Chitlins with Cole slaw, greens, and cornbread!
You like me you know how to eat them❤
Now I’m going to try them like that if I can find them affordable!
Rice and Louisiana Hot Sauce
WYS!!💯 ...with a bottle of franks hot sauce!! 😋
Some chittlins/ maws & some homemade chow chow
8:40
That cornbread looks good
Growing up in New Orleans all i heard about chitterlings was that they Stink but if you clean them thoroughly and properly they taste good..No Thanks..Have no problem with pork..but No pig ears Definitely No Chitterlings..Love&Peace luv ya byo eJ ❤😊
Thank you for sharing this Inspiring Message ❤🎉!
Big Ups for sharing your commentary sir!
I loved them as a child growing up in my parents household, then I found out where they really came from, and how unhealthy they are, I haven't eaten any since. That was 22 years ago.
Same here
Thank you.
I did also 😢
As I got older I realized what I was eating as a child it bothered me, because they came the Intestines of pigs and some from other animals. I said to you can't get those things that clean to eat, now 8 wonder about other things that has been manufactured that we eat ya know.
I stopped at 16 years old.
That's my highlight of thanksgiving over white rice and hot sauce
I love chitterlings and always have. I'm 60 plus years old and have my taste of chitterlings once a year around my birthday.
If you. Have Blood Pressure Organ meats are not good for you
We turn lemon into lemonade!❤❤❤
NOT ALL OF US Eat Shitlings!!!!😂
You should!!!!
@@sanjoserock1Nahhh that's slave food 😆 We free now.
Pause... Speak for yourself 😂
Rt
Great are correct title!
As a kid that grew up with southern grandparents, I despised that red bucket!!!!!!
Seeing that bucket appear in the kitchen a few times a year meant that the house was about to STANK to high hell.... for weeks!!!!!! 🤮
Many times, my granny would prepare 2 buckets worth of this mess. This was to have enough for other people too. Smh!
You were BLESSED!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "stank to high hell" made me chuckle. Im almost sure u can still smell those memories and feel the essence
@user-rf3zi7yq5e Not very practical for most folks to cook it outside. My granny would clean and cook that stuff during the winter time.
@@Kam876. Nothing I loved more as a kid than the entire house smelling like a giant bowel movement... for weeeks! 🤣🤣🤣 (Definitely, those are memories to cherish!)
i hated that red ass bucket 😂
My father said after WWII in Chicago. You had to go to the packing house and buy chittlins, tripe, pig feet, neck bones, oxtails, tongue, brain, etc for pennies on the pound. Because it wasnt in the store. And once they found out how many blackpeople were eating them. They raised the prices and put it in the supermarket.
Crazy to see things we grew up eating for cheap become so expensive. Especially oxtails. Its mind boggling. We ate oxtails with beans all the time. Now having oxtails is a treat. They are $12.99lb in LA. Smh
My grandma told me stories about eating most of the pig. But chittlins was fed to the dogs, along with other organ meats. With all the feral pigs around, I eat the good parts and feed the rest to my dogs and chickens
@@nadas.5643for real, I saw oxtails in Walmart for 27 bucks a package!! I need 4 packs for my cookouts alone, that ain’t counting what the rest of the meat costs!! Whew , looks like I’m doing pig roasts instead of bbq this year.
When I was a kid, chitterlings were free - you had to go to the slaughterhouse to get them and bring your own buckets.
@@mikekeltner4291you don't no what your missing they good
Chitterlings...Black eye peas...yams and cornbread 💪🏽 Newyears Eve Dinner!
Top it off with some homemade chow chow w/ the shittlins'
I'm Black, n I don't eat chittilings,n I know a lot of other Black's who don't eat it!!
Nope! Never ate them. Never will.
I am a black female who is almost 70 years old. I love to eat chitterlings with hot sauce. Why? To me they taste good. Put them with some corn bread and black eye peas- you got a really yummy meal.
True that
No lies detected!!!!!
I totally agree… a little Cole slaw too please😊
Surely you gest!
🤮
I like chitlins, but I no longer make them. Instead, I cook hog maws (pork stomach). No off putting odor, and the preparation is considerably less labor intensive.
I freeze them, then slice them into strips with a very sharp knife once they've thawed a bit. Much more difficult to slice when completely thawed. I then toss them in a crock pot with water and chicken stock or bouillon until very tender. Typically, I throw in lots of onion, some minced garlic, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, rosemary, a little soy sauce, ac vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Occasionally, I'll prepare chicken gizzards and hearts similarly. No need to slice them, though.
I love you
Sounds absolutely delicious 🤤
My mother would always scrape the inside and backside of the pork maws before washing, and cooking them. She scraped them with a sharp knife to remove the slimy flesh from them, it was much easier than cleaning chitterlings. So, if I were to attempt to freeze them before cutting them into strips I will definitely have to scrape them off first.
This video should be entitled, _"Why has the cost of Chitterlings risen so high that we can barely afford them today?"_ The reason is because white folks are eating them now... and they love 'em!
As a free black man, I'll pass on the poop sleeves...
Sure free man🙄
😂@@bf1822
Chitlins is nothing but skin, there is no meat. And they stink! 🤮👎🏽
@@bf1822 You are the one that sounds crazy bc even the smarter slaves who could go hunt or secure their own food during the plantation era didn't eat no damn pig poop & for painfully obvious reasons
😂
GOTTA LOVE THEM 💜⚘️Over 50yrs. No Health Problems From Chittlins...
Say it again for the people in the back!!!!
God said pork is forbidden.
Did he have anything to say about starving or slavery?
@@denise3885 yep Deuteronomy 28
It's been over 20 years since I smelled them cooking and I still remember the stench smh.
My mama cooked them every Christmas if I recall correctly. Because of how important it was to clean them thoroughly, I haven't eaten any since she passed.
This is off the subject, but the food shown at 4:52 point in the video reminded me of how I recall my grandmama having cooked a meal and me going to her house after school and she might have fried chicken, cooked collards, cornbread and black eyed peas! She was a phenomenal cook and baker!
There's many things in our culture that needs to go forever, we aint slaves anymore. Our people leveled up in so many different ways over the years. Now we need to focus on mental and physical health. Too many of us have heart disease and diabetes, which are mostly avoidable. Too many of us deal with mental health issues.
I worked as the only white guy on a maintenance crew in high school, where I was treated like a prince and got to experience different foods. My boss was an older man who was a walking library of black history. He practically became my uncle - what an honor. Chitterlings were certainly part of my experience. We German-Americans similarly use healthier meat substitutes, but sometimes one must keep to the traditional, real thing. Great video sir.
hello , chitterlings , are a tasty delicacy😋😋😋😋😋. i am mainly plant based now , but , grew up eating them , on very special occasions . i could hardly wait , for them to get done🤫🤫🤫🤫. i don't care who tries to malign them , they are tasty. the slaughter houses used to throw them out , as offal . when they noticed people out there , snapping them up , they started selling them . chitlins , are very expensive now , and yes , many cultures eat chitterlings , or some form of....... great content , thank you , for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.................
Loved them growing up but I haven’t eaten chittlins in decades. They were served at a relative’s repast👀years ago but I didn’t eat any.
The reason why is because back in that era that was the only type of food that they was give us was the scraps, which is funny now that we still eat it I’ve never eaten it in my life!!
Ppl today still eat the scraps🙄
Exactly what I thought. I now know the history and origins of some of the foods we still eat today
It is the pesasent or poor folks food. Also there is hog-head cheese or souce meat, .... you will be suprise to know what in some popular big box can food.
They remind me of the new year and my grandparents i understand why some people dont eat them but the more. 4 us that do and less to clean happy holidays everybody 🎉
We always had them with Hog Maws . My mother always cooked them on New Years Eve. Oh the Memories. My mouth is watering just thinking of them.
I watch a lot of cultures cooking shows and noticed there are other cultures that eat chittlins. They call them a different name and may use diff seasonings.
Very true.
One of my best friends is Phillipino and she said they are a delicacy in her country. They actually fry them up and use to sale them for $10 dollars for a few pieces and probably for more now
I was born and raised in Mississippi. Chitterlings were never a dish served in our home......nor my grandparents. But I do have relatives that eat them. Just something I never wanted.
Thanks for sharing this information.
When they found out colored loved them the price went way up
That goes for ox tails too
Here in Baltimore, they want $30 for a pint! I haven’t had any since.
@@brianthetruth6055in Detroit it’s 34 now

This is a part of the Good Luck dinner for the New Year, our dinner menu is Pork, Sweet Potatoes, Cabbage, Buttermilk cornbread, and Rum cake. My mother (pass 😢on) would put her foot in this meal. ❤
I th ank you for the History Lesson. I ❤them. God bless you ❤
as a black american for many generations, i’ve never ate them & no 1 in my fam cooks/eats them as well.
You ain't black if you ain't never ate chitlins...
Yay you didn’t have to witness this madness
Chitlins are mostly a Southern FBA food, I'm a 40 y/o black man from NYC, been here since 6 and the only people I've met in my lifetime that like/eat that are Southerners or have family in the South. I've had the displeasure of smelling it being cooked and didn't see any appeal in trying to taste it. No judgements though because I am Jamaican born and we have our foods most people don't eat either
FBA?
27 y/o, Jamaican born and NYC bred since 7.
I share your exact sentiments 💯
I never had them, and I never will.
My parents were country folks and we had them all the time growing up. My ex wife cooked them as well, but I haven’t had them in a long time. They were great with pepper sauce or hot sauce. A lady I met from New Orleans told me if you put a potato in the pot it kills the smell.
Yes!! Happy New Year 🎉❤
Never have, never will!
Still have never tried them
When I was younger, I tasted a little out of curiosity but never never ate a plate of chit
Not my dish😣
@@Passionatelyfruits i can see
Neither have I. The smell is an immediate turn off. Plus so many other delicious foods Yah has given us
I'm a black woman who did not grow up eating chitlins...we barely ate fried chicken. We are not a monolith.
Exactly, I've never in my life ate them. I hate it when people talk to or treat all black people like we've had the same experiences in life without understanding we are individuals.
Mom refused to cook them. I hate the smell.
he said enslaved in the south and he said many not all…
Candace???? 😅
@@aliciarobinson4107 yes…
Love chitterlings wish I can buy already cleaned
Aunt Bessie of you can find them 😊
@@missc1643
No doubt, the best. I do reclean them.
Yes I remember Chitterlings being part of African American culture. However, this is a dish I chose not to carry on. Playfully and Thankfully we now have more HEALTHIER and CLEANER choices.
If you eat bacon you can eat Chitlins. ‘Oscar Myer’ ready made Chitlins all you have to do is heat them up and eat them up.😋 just put in a pot three sticks of butter or margarine, add onions and green peppers, a table spoon of oregano, two pints of water, tea spoon of salt and tea leaves, add two 3 pound containers of Chitlins. Boil a bag of rice. Boil the Chitlins for about a hour and boil the rice in a separate pot for about a hour. Stir, and after one hour let both sit for 5 minutes. Mix the rice with the Chitlins and invite all your family and friends over to eat. Just don’t tell them what it is until they finish eating all they want. 🙄🤔🤷🏼
Bacon smell better than chits
@@Passionatelyfruits depends how you cook it. Add a pinch of honey when cooking the chits and you got a meal😋
😮😮rrsd
😮@@Cornbread-gi6kt
The innards are called "offal," not oval. lol
Edit: I think it was the closed caption that read as oval
I am a descendent of African slaves. Therefore, I’m African-American proud of it I just wanna share how resilient we are, and how great we are to have accomplished what we have in America and it’s just beginning. God bless America, protect her against all intruders, foreign domestic and evil.
Very well spoken ,thank you sir😊
The older generations of my family tried to get us younger people to like them so hard. We were just like, "but it smells like someone went to the bathroom everytime y'all are preparing them" 🤣🤣🤣 One of my older cousins tried to tell me that all I had to do was douse it in hot sauce. At which point I'm just like, "look, if you gotta douse something in *that much* hot sauce to make it edible... No thanks".
I have another relative, an uncle, who absolutely *refuses* to eat shrimp because they're "bottom feeders" 🙄🤷🏾♂️, but will tear this ish up with the quickness 🙃 Make it make sense, lol
Great point about the similarities between chitlins and shellfish!
Ignorance is so sad. Chitterlings is eaten by 6 billion people in the world, in asia, africa, eastern europe, south america, etc.. it is only a small group of people who do not eat chitterlings, the anglo americans and those who follow them. cheers.
Really? You mean if you don't like pig intestines, you must be copying whites? K.
They are a delicacy in Europe. Lots of people worldwide eat chitterlings/ chitlins. They are cleaner now that most are in bags and are expensive!
Cheers
Absolutely no need to eat the intestines.
My parents loved chitlins but starting with my siblings and I, no generation since then eats them.
No pork on my plate
I am a Black man born and raised in the North to parents who were born in the Jim Crow South. My mom cooked them on New Years but I never ate them. They stunk. To this day, I have no idea what they taste like.
I am a black woman from the Deep South never ate them, but remember mother cooking them on rare occasions.
Use to eat these a long time ago on New Years Day only, with black eyed peas,suppose to bring good luck.
In the Dickens novel Great Expectations, chitterlings are mentioned. So clearly this was eaten in London centuries ago.
"I don't eat no part of a 🐷. It reminds me of the story when Jesus cast out the demons that were in a possessed man, and they requested that he allow them to go into a herd of swine. My theory is that they knew the pigs were filthy creatures just like them, and this the reason these animals commited suicide because even in their most filthy state the demons were far more filthy than them" 🙏🙏🙏
