Aunt Bessie's in 2023 have gone up to over $25 for 5 LB. I used to cook 150 Lb for Christmas. I no longer buy them. They have gone up to much. Aunt Bessie's are the best. You are one of the few people who really know how to clean them. Most people take the second skin off
They’re all expensive as heck now. $40 for a ten pound bucket is ridiculous. The cheapest I found then this is is aunt Bessie for $22. Uncle Lou’s 10 pound bag was $35.
@@stacystone9814 Gurrrrllll, I haven't eaten any chitterlings since I was in college and before my Mother died. (1969-2003) Like you, I do not eat everybody's chitterlings. LOL
Today is December 3rd 2022 & this video popped up on my feed and I'm so glad it did. Like many have said here, I also don't eat Chitterlings but soon as I saw her sweet face and she started talking I stayed for the entire length of the video🖤 I'm so sad to see she has passed on🕊️ she had the sweetest spirit. I hope she'd be delighted to know how many ppl she's helping and that this video alone has over 1.2 million views! & She recorded this video & cooked by herself. She's still blessing people in heaven 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Dec. 29, 2024 this video popped up for me today and I love it! I'm so happy I can throw down like this in the kitchen from learning years ago when I was learning from my grandparents and others who are no longer here but still treasured! I'm so happy I'm teaching my son and other young ones can learn the old ways of cooking good delicious simple meals that sustain the body and soul. I'm ready to get in the kitchen now LOL just need all the ingredients LOL Thank you so much for this video❤🎉
I have a confession, I’m legit crying while watching this video! I’m so thankful to have someone really TEACH me what I needed to know. This is a blessing and I trust every single word she said! THANK YOU!
Ronell Betts you good bro. Some of us had mother's and grandmother's that taught me. 🤫 Well they made us be in the kitchen 😂😁 This Thanksgiving I will be teaching my daughter at her new house.
Latricia Ballard my granny taught me how to clean them, but we live in two different states now. I didn’t trust making them all by myself or her walking me step by step over the phone. Thanks to this I feel comfortable enough to go for it.
What a sweet, spirited lady. I know she is in heaven. I'm so thankful the family is still showing her cooking classes. We are blessed that her family has allowed her to grace us with her presence. ❤
This is my 1st time seeing this nice woman. I haven't made chitterlings in years, but I almost yelled to the heavens when she put the potato in the pot! *Let me explain...I was taught YEARS ago, that the potato/s absorb the smell and the impurities! This woman woman validated me. I also see that this video is over 10 years ago, and that she has passed away; my deepest condolences! I'm happy this video has over 1.4 million views, though. I'm about to look at more of them now! Great channel...Keep it going!!!
I can't lie. I teared up thinking about my granny over this video. We had chitlins, collards, black eyed peas with corn, cornbread, and whatever main meat of choice we had on hand. THIS, THIS, THIS...is how I learned to make chitlins. Awesome video. I heard she passed and all I have to say is... you will ate lovingly missed, and also; job well done.
Your mother was wonderful & I'm thankful she shared her cooking skills w all of us. She spoke of her battle w cancer, is that ultimately why she passed? God Bless💖

Oh, my goodness, this brings back some nice memories. I grew up in Poland, where chitterlings are called “flaki” and are considered a great and rare delicacy. The last time I ate them was in 1989, when I visited my family. There was a very expensive hotel in Warsaw and I had a lunch there, flaki in rich broth. It was the most luxurious food. I never made flaki myself, because my American husband and friends would not eat them. The ham hocks are called “golonka” and the Poles love it too. I believe that all the food you cooked is actually very healthy and I do not understand why some people get fussy about simple home foods like that. Thank you, Elaine, for your wonderful lesson. You know how to teach!

You know I saw this sister on TH-cam. And she cleaned her chitlins very good as she can clean them. Taking a lot's of skin of off, then wash them. Again and again, till their was no more skin to take off. And she cooked them. Her chitlins was fresh to. I will continue on cleaning my chitlins like her. Thank you.
Comments hv informed me tht Ms. Elaine has passed. However, I'm giving her the hand clap she asked for AND well deserves...GREAT JOB MS. ELAINE 🤜🏽🤛🏽👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What an amazing video. Very clear easy instruction with context. Best tutorial I’ve seen. Sorry to hear of her passing. I wish I had a grandma like her:)
Praise the Lord God is a good god and an awesome God thank God for her amazing cooking we all need someone to leave the path I love you all be strong we will continue to watch her channel
Sad to hear she's passed on. She was so interesting to watch. She took great pride in her family and loved cooking. I know you miss her, but these videos are great memories! RIP 💐 MS. ELAINE
Our elders taught us patience and delighting in the simple things. They take so much joy and love into their cooking and reflects throughout the dish. Watching this was so calming and wisdom- filled. What a jewel she was. I pray to be graceful and patient when I get older. May God rest her beautiful soul. 🙏😘
@A Steph....This is hands down the BEST comment I've read! From the first sentence to the last, I was captivated by how you were able to articulate your thoughts, in such a eloquent manner! I'm 65 & my elders taught me all those things. Yes times have changed, but never enough to lose the JOY of patience & delighting in the simple things in LIFE! As time passes you'll definitely be graceful & patient! Maybe being a writer is in your future ❤️
@@2BESTdogBLUE your kind words were much needed today. Thank you for bringing me back to this wonderful video to enjoy once again and thank you for your encouraging words; and helping me to remember to delight in the small things. Especially, during a time when that can be hard to do. Your comment means more than you know. Happy Holidays to you and yours ❤
Just saw your grandma's video I thoroughly enjoyed it my grandma passed at age 96 I'm a young 76 yr great grandma . I was just thinking about chitterlings and how I haven't cooked any in at least 20 yrs I'm gonna Google Aunt Betsy's brand and see where I can buy. My condolences to your family.🙏🌻
God Bless your mother, she was a wonderful teacher and I hold her recipes close to me. I didn't know she had gone on to be with the Lord. We thank you for allowing us to still watch her do what she enjoyed doing so well. Grace and Peace to you and the family. Love, Elaine Butler
I absolutely loved watching this! I don’t eat chitterlings or ham hocks, so I don’t know why it popped up on my feed but something told me to watch and I’m glad I did. Ms. Elaine had a beautiful sprit and I hung on her every word. A lovely woman, may she rest in heavenly peace.
This is my first time watching Ms. Elaine! I wish she were here so I could tell her how wonderful she is in explaining her recipes....Ms. Elaine cooking up in heaven!!!!!
RIP Mrs. Elaine. God saw fit for me to see your chattering and ham hock, rice and beans delight tonight. God be with you. My mother taught me to clean and cook chitterl I ngs the same way and I taught my daughters the same.😅
A truly wise Queen should say follow the food law Leviticus 11. Isaiah 65 v 3 through 5 GOD says HE don't like hogeaters. Don't get mad at me get mad at Yahua if you dare. PEACE
I'm so sorry for your lost. I just came across like others and just started to watch and learned a lot of good ole stuff and will be using what I learned from MOM!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US. LIKECI SAID THIS WASS MY FIRST, NOW LET ME GO LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHERS. AGAIN THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. R.I.P. Ms Elaine WE Love You!!!!
My mother was from Arkansas and made them exactly the way you do, if these people hate chitterlings so much why are they on your page its real simple don't watch. Thank you for sharing your cooking skills.
Chitlins is an acquired taste but once you acquire it you never go back to not eating them. I was raised on chitterlings maybe once or twice a year and every black person know when we cook them. Someone once told me that slaves are given the throwaways of the pig and chitterlings are one of the throwaways. Now they charge send the $15 a bucket go figure.
OMG....she’s so sweet and very informative! This is my first time watching her cook and I loved every minute of it! I’m deaf so I was very happy to see that captions is available! Ms. Elaine I thank you for your knowledge and may you continue to rest in paradise! ❤️
I just came across this video because i love soul foods and country cooking....my chitterlings came out perfect... i can't wait to try the hamhocks and rice😊❤
Just found this video. So sorry for your loss. She is national treasure to us. Teaching the way chitterlings should be cleaned is priceless. Thanks for sharing.
I just found this video! I’m sorry for your loss. I’m so glad she was able to do this video. I love chitterlings and I will be using her recipe and tips! Thank you Ms Elaine! RIH
I haven’t had chitterlings in years, but decided to look at her video, and boy was I glad I did! Great recipes but most of all I love her attitude! Great personality!!!
miss elaine did some real home cooking. and y'know you can't just eat any ol' chittlin' and i haven't eaten them in a long, very long time but these, these i would eat. hot sauce it all and i'm sure it's slammin'
01/14/2023. How have I never seen this lady. When she said Charlotte NC I knew her food would be good. I’m from NC and my granny prepped the way she did “sitting down”
I watch this video this year and last year and I did not know that she had passed!! Thank you for your wisdom and thank you for making this video and may you rest in heaven❤❤
Angelee: My first time on this site. You cld see and feel the Love your Mom puts into her cooking!♥️ Thx goodness she made these cooking videos and Bless you for having the foresight and kindness to continue on her legacy by keeping her you tube site up. May Ms Elaine be resting and abiding with GOD and may you and your family receive the Peace that surpasses ALL Understanding and Joy this world can NEVER take away🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽♥️
So many Pessimist people who are highly non-culturally aware. Ok, so many do not like Chitterlings, well then stop watching the videos , then giving very bias and prejudice judgments of ignorance. It's that simple. You don't like something, don watch, and don't cook it. I do not eat Chitterlings either, but enjoy watching people cook many things from many cultures. That is the beauty in diversity. Besides, African American/ Blacks are not the only culture of people who eat pig parts. Many European people eat pig intestines, bull testicles, cow stomachs (tripe), Snails, Octopus arms, and a whole host of things that seem disgusting, but look, that is culture, so you either enjoy it or you don't, but to constantly comment every evil opportunity you have is truly immature, ignorant, and just plain foolishness. Go find your own happiness, and leave those who have their happiness in tact alone. And if you can not say something constructive or positive in support, then keep it pushing past the things you do not like or take part in.
Very well said, there wasn’t nothing wasted on the hog. The fat which we call lard was used for frying. Back in those days the hog or pig was a main meat for a lot of people. The best part about it you didn’t get as sick from eating it as you do now days. The meat was homegrown and pure no persevatives , nor other bad stuff they inject and feed these animals with these .
I just discovered this channel today. So sorry to know that she's passed, my condolences. Her legacy and passion for country cooking lives on. This lady is clean and does it just like we do it in the south, for real!!
Perfect description! I've never liked chitterlings (tried it though) , but I would definitely try hers after seeing her thoroughness & knowledge from beginning to end. I beet hers didn't smell at all.
Respect for the deceased. If you don't like them don't eat them. As a matter of fact don't watch. This woman said her mother has passed on and to please be respectful in all reality she shouldn't have to even my 8 year knows if you don't like a video just don't watch. Rest in peace....Great Job my grandmother used to cook them on holidays for my family but she passed in 07 we haven't had them since. They look good 🙂
I have had them both ways and they both are good! The only con is that there is more smell during the cooking with lining on but the taste is better. My mom took hers off. All y'all saying you would t eat at her house..... I hope you only eat at your house cause you don't know WHAT you are eating anywhere..... including restaurants.
Your mother was a generous, good person to share her recipes and kitchen wisdom with all of us strangers. Thank you so much for leaving her channel here. God bless you!
Growing up I never had anyone show me the ins and outs of the kitchen and tips and tricks. Never had anyone teach me recipes that had been passed down.. wish I had found her channel sooner. How amazing is it though that she is still helping to teach and pass along her wisdom. ❤️🙏
Came across this tutorial last night cause I never cooked black eyed peas for New Years...Miss Elaine Did Her Thing!!!!!......I definitely will be enjoying her recipe this New Year's. I scrolled down to the comments and found out she passed away but she lives on in her good food!!!!!! RIP
You did a great job of taping and of course cooking. Thank you so much for everything! I pray for you health, happiness and long life. Enjoy your holiday season and have a joyful 2023.
thank you , darling , for this very informative tutorial . I don't cook " chits "...........but have loved them ! ! ! they had a humble start , as (offal ) slave food , but now , I consider them to be every bit of a delicacy , as well as ham hocks , hog mauls , pig feet , pig ears etcetera..........and when prepared correctly , as you are doing , you can't beat 'em . God Bless you , and thank you ..................
Our folks (as slaves) were only given the scraps to eat; other than rising chicken. But look how they seasoned their food and now more people are buying and eating greens and beans, realizing the health benefits. Our folks are saviors. 💖WV
Thank you for sharing this video! I watched it until the end! I've always been afraid to cook chattering but after watching this video gives me courage to try it.
Hi Elaine. It was great seeing you share these great tips. I really love Chitterlings and had given up on them after my mother stop cooking them. Thanks so much for sharing and giving us the measurements (that helps alot) ! Keep up the great work!
My Deepest Condolences to you beloved, I could listen to her talk all day you could FEEL HER LOVING SPIRIT, MAY SHE REST IN PERFECT PEACE. THANK YOU FOR BLESSING THE WORLD
We were slaves we didnt have much if anything at all and with love and god we turned the most foul nasty food into delicious delicate beautiful food although I dont like chitlins I respect where it comes from
@@eugeniasyro7315 wrong. I know people in there late 90s who had gradparents etc. They tell me the stories of there parents. I read books and poems written by people who were. I know. Can feel. Can see and understand.
I will definitely save your recipe. I never knew how to cook chitterlings and now I do. Thank you so much and show me what to look for and buy and chitlins I have heard of all aunt Betsy chitterlings, so I most definitely will buy those. Thank you once again for showing me how to cook them.
A good cook also have to talk to God a good time to relate about the what ever your cooking that it will be satisfying and plenty.The old school way your head covered no nail polish and apron you never leave or talk on phone your commited in that kitchen until your done if you have to wait clean your dishes.
I still hear about this I watched comedian micheal Allen said same thing, that aunt Bessie was the cleanest chitterlings he ever bought...people who eat them are going to look for the cleanest. We have come a long way from that red plastic bucket.. I fix mines like my mama did. She did add onions, peppers. Used the apple cider vinegar. Recipies are a guide. U might not like a certain ingredient. She took time to show you how she did it. If u look at the year it days 2013. Have some respect. If u grew up in the south you ate these plus somebody in the family raised hogs. Peas and rice what they called hopping john.. Rip ms Elaine. It videos are still being shown u still teaching from heaven. Bless you daughter. People should always be respectful of others cooking videos. Whether u agree or not. Have some respect. Its thanksgiving 2020. This video still being shown.. Take care, God bless, be thankful for whatever God has blessed you with on your table.. Not just today but everyday. Love, respect and positivity always. N.j.:-)
This was such a joy to watch. I'm isolating from the coronavirus and scrolling through videos to watch and came across this. God rest her soul. I remember the actress Annie Potts once said that she threw a couple of pecans in her chitterlings while cooking and it kept the smell at Bay. I haven't cooked them in a long while. Praying that everyone stays safe and healthy.
My grandmother always use to serve her Chitterlings with collard greens and ham howks, rice, homemade southern style corn bread, Macaroni and cheese, and potato salad. ☺️
Omg. I really enjoyed your presentation. It funny I came across u I just cooked some Aunt Bestie's chitterlings on Christmas day in my pressure cooker they turned out great but I got a new spend I can put on them. You are so right u have to do very little cleaning to this brand. You have such a beautiful spirit i felt a kindred spirit as u talked. My spirit was confirmed as u invited ppl to share in at your church. U be so very blessed in this New Year. Jesus bless you always stayed blessed in Jesus.
Thanks Elaine, I am from SC, and I know about the ART of choosing Chitterlings, that "red bucket" is a Nightmare ! 10 pounds to start, 3 pounds when Cleaned, and Rancid. You made need a Napkin to dwell the Drooling! Don't worry, I know where to get the Chitterlings You used, and tomorrow it's MY TURN ! Thanks for Sharing !😋
OOOOOO, Madame Elaine, you have given me the courage to make chitterlings! Once my Mother passed away, I just resigned myself to never eating chitterlings again! But upon chancing upon your cooking show, you demonstrated not only what brand to use but how to make them. So I have the courage to make them. As soon as I can afford it, I will be making them! I learned how to make pigs feet quite well, and my Mother would love them! I make them maybe twice a year; and freeze them so that I can enjoy them anytime. NOW I CAN MAKE CHITTERLINGS THAT I KNOW MY MOMMIE WOULD LOVE! Thank you Chef Elaine!
Soooo happy I found your mother’s channel. I was looking for a “taste of home” to ring in the new year and this recipe is right on time. I’ ll keep her in mind along with my mother and step mom. Thank you for leaving it up!
Awesome job. Just beautiful and fun to watch. I live in Concord NC and this is how we do it 😁 God bless you and thank you for taking the time to put this out there 🙏
That looks delicious ❤ I haven’t had Blackeyed Peas cooked like that but girlfriend I am going to try it Every thing is just so delicious looking. Thanks so much for your recipe ❤❤❤
May God rest her soul, I certainly appreciate you keeping her gift going and I thoroughly enjoyed her teaching me something new. Looooved her sweet voice too🥰
Just found this video. So sad to know she has passed on. Condolences and thanks to the family for sharing her with us. Very good tips about cooking the chitterlings. ❤
Just came across this video and she did an amazing job with information on Aunt Bessie's Chitlins and I really love the black eye peas and ham hocks in the rice. Something new and appetizing. Ms Elaine did an amazing job with this video and she was so down to earth and I appreciate her sharing some of the recipes and giving that little extra on how to make the chitlins taste good with the vinegar. You are a true blessing with your knowledge in cooking. May you Rest In Peace in your spirit.
I love this lady she is a true southern woman and I for one appreciate the opportunity to learn from the best thank you again for your fabolous cooking techniques and tips
Aunt Bessie's in 2023 have gone up to over $25 for 5 LB. I used to cook 150 Lb for Christmas. I no longer buy them. They have gone up to much. Aunt Bessie's are the best. You are one of the few people who really know how to clean them. Most people take the second skin off
They’re all expensive as heck now. $40 for a ten pound bucket is ridiculous. The cheapest I found then this is is aunt Bessie for $22. Uncle Lou’s 10 pound bag was $35.
Wow 😮 I just saw Amazon Aunt Bessie price $99.00.
You should always take the 2nd skin off. This is why I don’t eat every body’s chitterlings
@@stacystone9814 Gurrrrllll, I haven't eaten any chitterlings since I was in college and before my Mother died. (1969-2003) Like you, I do not eat everybody's chitterlings. LOL
@ taking the second skin off results in tissue paper like chitterlings. You need to take all trash off and fat. That’s all

It's because it's linked to slavery.

Well I didn't my mom did and this is her account. She is deceased, all I ask is to be respectful.

I agree my grandma cleaned the fat but did not separate them just a waist of money

You know I saw this sister on TH-cam. And she cleaned her chitlins very good as she can clean them. Taking a lot's of skin of off, then wash them. Again and again, till their was no more skin to take off. And she cooked them. Her chitlins was fresh to. I will continue on cleaning my chitlins like her. Thank you.

@@frankbrown4300 Hi Frank. Thanks for the love but I'm not related to Ms Elaine. I'm just a fan of hers.
Rip ms Elaine
What an amazing video. Very clear easy instruction with context. Best tutorial I’ve seen. Sorry to hear of her passing. I wish I had a grandma like her:)
You deserve a million likes, and a billion views!
Just found her channel! Bless her heart / I know she passed! To her family thank you for allowing others to continue with her journey! Very nice lady!
I love this lady rip you showed the world how South Carolinians cook chitterlings and hammocks god bless this family
Praise the Lord God is a good god and an awesome God thank God for her amazing cooking we all need someone to leave the path I love you all be strong we will continue to watch her channel
Sad to hear she's passed on. She was so interesting to watch. She took great pride in her family and loved cooking. I know you miss her, but these videos are great memories! RIP 💐 MS. ELAINE
Our elders taught us patience and delighting in the simple things. They take so much joy and love into their cooking and reflects throughout the dish. Watching this was so calming and wisdom- filled. What a jewel she was. I pray to be graceful and patient when I get older. May God rest her beautiful soul. 🙏😘
@A Steph....This is hands down the BEST comment I've read! From the first sentence to the last, I was captivated by how you were able to articulate your thoughts, in such a eloquent manner! I'm 65 & my elders taught me all those things. Yes times have changed, but never enough to lose the JOY of patience & delighting in the simple things in LIFE! As time passes you'll definitely be graceful & patient! Maybe being a writer is in your future ❤️
@@2BESTdogBLUE your kind words were much needed today. Thank you for bringing me back to this wonderful video to enjoy once again and thank you for your encouraging words; and helping me to remember to delight in the small things. Especially, during a time when that can be hard to do. Your comment means more than you know. Happy Holidays to you and yours ❤
forgotten knowledge? Only forgetable if you let it be so.

Just saw your grandma's video I thoroughly enjoyed it my grandma passed at age 96 I'm a young 76 yr great grandma . I was just thinking about chitterlings and how I haven't cooked any in at least 20 yrs I'm gonna Google Aunt Betsy's brand and see where I can buy. My condolences to your family.🙏🌻
God Bless your mother, she was a wonderful teacher and I hold her recipes close to me. I didn't know she had gone on to be with the Lord. We thank you for allowing us to still watch her do what she enjoyed doing so well. Grace and Peace to you and the family. Love, Elaine Butler
They cooking looked great. Easy to follow recipe.
I love that she's informative, entertaining and heartfelt. Takes me back!
I absolutely loved watching this! I don’t eat chitterlings or ham hocks, so I don’t know why it popped up on my feed but something told me to watch and I’m glad I did. Ms. Elaine had a beautiful sprit and I hung on her every word. A lovely woman, may she rest in heavenly peace.
Missing her tonight. This sweet lady was full of good recipes and wisdom. Rest in peace Queen 💔😢 love and prayers to the family 🙏🏾
Oh Wow! Just left a comment for her... is she with the Lord now? 🥲
Thank you. We miss her so much.
@@icedrouxlatte❤️🙏🏽
What a sweet lady! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
This is my first time watching Ms. Elaine! I wish she were here so I could tell her how wonderful she is in explaining her recipes....Ms. Elaine cooking up in heaven!!!!!
Can you order Aunt Bessie's chittlings!!
RIP Mrs. Elaine. God saw fit for me to see your chattering and ham hock, rice and beans delight tonight. God be with you. My mother taught me to clean and cook chitterl I ngs the same way and I taught my daughters the same.😅
To Ms Elaine family you all have my deepest sympathy and I am so glad you are still sharing her recipes!
I’m so glad that she made a page .We don’t have a lot of wise Queens left in this world. Rest ur soul .
People ate this before slavery.
I am.🎈
You still need to remove the membrane from the chitterlings
A truly wise Queen should say follow the food law Leviticus 11. Isaiah 65 v 3 through 5 GOD says HE don't like hogeaters. Don't get mad at me get mad at Yahua if you dare. PEACE
@@sonnygallo5662 His Name is "Yashua". We know what you meant.
I'm so sorry for your lost. I just came across like others and just started to watch and learned a lot of good ole stuff and will be using what I learned from MOM!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US. LIKECI SAID THIS WASS MY FIRST, NOW LET ME GO LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHERS. AGAIN THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. R.I.P. Ms Elaine WE Love You!!!!
My mother was from Arkansas and made them exactly the way you do, if these people hate chitterlings so much why are they on your page its real simple don't watch.
Thank you for sharing your cooking skills.
I don't like this because Black people have the highest rate of obesity and diseases in America. Sicknesses comes from eating the wrong foods,
Chitlins is an acquired taste but once you acquire it you never go back to not eating them. I was raised on chitterlings maybe once or twice a year and every black person know when we cook them. Someone once told me that slaves are given the throwaways of the pig and chitterlings are one of the throwaways. Now they charge send the $15 a bucket go figure.
You're an adult you should know your limitations. We sell alcohol but you know not to drink and drive.
khandi pwens take ur stupidity somewhere else
khandi pwens its not so much of what you eat! It's how much you eat! You eat within moderation!
OMG....she’s so sweet and very informative! This is my first time watching her cook and I loved every minute of it! I’m deaf so I was very happy to see that captions is available! Ms. Elaine I thank you for your knowledge and may you continue to rest in paradise! ❤️
I just came across this video because i love soul foods and country cooking....my chitterlings came out perfect... i can't wait to try the hamhocks and rice😊❤
Just found this video. So sorry for your loss. She is national treasure to us. Teaching the way chitterlings should be cleaned is priceless. Thanks for sharing.
I just found this video! I’m sorry for your loss. I’m so glad she was able to do this video. I love chitterlings and I will be using her recipe and tips! Thank you Ms Elaine! RIH
I haven’t had chitterlings in years, but decided to look at her video, and boy was I glad I did! Great recipes but most of all I love her attitude! Great personality!!!
This is some ole school teaching right here..exactly how i was taught...i love me some chitterlings💕😂
Great teacher!
Loved it!
miss elaine did some real home cooking. and y'know you can't just eat any ol' chittlin' and i haven't eaten them in a long, very long time but these, these i would eat. hot sauce it all and i'm sure it's slammin'
Pigshit you people love
If you eat any kind of meat you are eating poop. Look up the percentage of feces the FDA allows in meat sold in grocery stores. Ground Meats included.
Wow she was a wonderful soul, Rip; she taught me so much I cant wait to prepare the meal for new years and dedicate to Ms. Elaine.
01/14/2023. How have I never seen this lady. When she said Charlotte NC I knew her food would be good. I’m from NC and my granny prepped the way she did “sitting down”
Rest in Heaven Mrs. Elaine. I just found your page today 😢
payshence69fm me too♥️
Rest in peace Elaine luv your videos

I Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom.Blessings sent.
I'm gonna give you a BIG hand clap!!!😊 And thank's for sharing your time and recipes with us. Now I know this my food will come out better.😊
So many Pessimist people who are highly non-culturally aware. Ok, so many do not like Chitterlings, well then stop watching the videos , then giving very bias and prejudice judgments of ignorance. It's that simple. You don't like something, don watch, and don't cook it. I do not eat Chitterlings either, but enjoy watching people cook many things from many cultures. That is the beauty in diversity. Besides, African American/ Blacks are not the only culture of people who eat pig parts. Many European people eat pig intestines, bull testicles, cow stomachs (tripe), Snails, Octopus arms, and a whole host of things that seem disgusting, but look, that is culture, so you either enjoy it or you don't, but to constantly comment every evil opportunity you have is truly immature, ignorant, and just plain foolishness.
Go find your own happiness, and leave those who have their happiness in tact alone. And if you can not say something constructive or positive in support, then keep it pushing past the things you do not like or take part in.
Exactly
RaphaelLouis Jones exactly. I love her video's and I love and enjoy learning from her.. plus isn't her voice so soothing!
Very well said, there wasn’t nothing wasted on the hog. The fat which we call lard was used for frying. Back in those days the hog or pig was a main meat for a lot of people. The best part about it you didn’t get as sick from eating it as you do now days. The meat was homegrown and pure no persevatives , nor other bad stuff they inject and feed these animals with these .
Was put into the animals.
Denise Martinez , I subscribed, at the sound of her voice, alone ! ⏭️🌹⏮️
I just discovered this channel today. So sorry to know that she's passed, my condolences. Her legacy and passion for country cooking lives on. This lady is clean and does it just like we do it in the south, for real!!
This whole video was like a Love Letter
She Loved!!
God Bless Her and may she continue to Rest In Sweet Peace
Perfect description! I've never liked chitterlings (tried it though) , but I would definitely try hers after seeing her thoroughness & knowledge from beginning to end. I beet hers didn't smell at all.
Chitterlings aren't testicles it is hog guts we use to kill hogs
Much respect...
My G*Mom
Would clean them like this........
That bull Hot sauce is on Deck..
You will never die.as long as I remember you.r.i.p queen.
I am impressed with moms camera skills. She must have a nice camera too.
Nice instructions
Right bc this video is 7 years old and the quality is up to today’s standards.
OMG. My mouth was watering over those black eyed peas and rice I can't wait to cook them that way.
☺Hi
Miss. Elaine;
your dish looks delicious
thanks for teaching me your recipe. &
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Respect for the deceased. If you don't like them don't eat them. As a matter of fact don't watch. This woman said her mother has passed on and to please be respectful in all reality she shouldn't have to even my 8 year knows if you don't like a video just don't watch. Rest in peace....Great Job my grandmother used to cook them on holidays for my family but she passed in 07 we haven't had them since. They look good 🙂
Shameka Glover No disrespect intended but she didnt remove the lining that holds the feces..those chitterlings are not CLEAN...
+Nita Singleton I will not respond to anyone's comment out of respect for this woman and her daughter.
Shameka Glover I mean no disrespect..but facts are facts
+Nita Singleton And opinions are like assholes everyone has one !!
I have had them both ways and they both are good! The only con is that there is more smell during the cooking with lining on but the taste is better. My mom took hers off.
All y'all saying you would t eat at her house..... I hope you only eat at your house cause you don't know WHAT you are eating anywhere..... including restaurants.
I love this lady as much as I love ain't Fe! I'm glad I found you!
I thank you for your knowledge and your spirit to pass it on. Haven't had chitlins since my mom passed 10 years ago, want try making them myself now.
Your mother was a generous, good person to share her recipes and kitchen wisdom with all of us strangers. Thank you so much for leaving her channel here. God bless you!
Thank you
Growing up I never had anyone show me the ins and outs of the kitchen and tips and tricks. Never had anyone teach me recipes that had been passed down.. wish I had found her channel sooner. How amazing is it though that she is still helping to teach and pass along her wisdom. ❤️🙏
Came across this tutorial last night cause I never cooked black eyed peas for New Years...Miss Elaine Did Her Thing!!!!!......I definitely will be enjoying her recipe this New Year's. I scrolled down to the comments and found out she passed away but she lives on in her good food!!!!!! RIP
You did a great job of taping and of course cooking. Thank you so much for everything! I pray for you health, happiness and long life. Enjoy your holiday season and have a joyful 2023.
I don’t eat this but watched video till the end, her voice is soothing lol
Yes she sounds so sweet she reminds me of my mother with that southern cooking 🍳 Yessss
Thank God you dont eat this crap
BlackChiiney89 that was sweet of you, I watched also
Very
Sounds like a school teacher. Love the southern accent .
thank you , darling , for this very informative tutorial . I don't cook " chits "...........but have loved them ! ! ! they had a humble start , as (offal ) slave food , but now , I consider them to be every bit of a delicacy , as well as ham hocks , hog mauls , pig feet , pig ears etcetera..........and when prepared correctly , as you are doing , you can't beat 'em . God Bless you , and thank you ..................
Our folks (as slaves) were only given the scraps to eat; other than rising chicken. But look how they seasoned their food and now more people are buying and eating greens and beans, realizing the health benefits. Our folks are saviors. 💖WV
She sounds and reminds me so much of Patty LaBelle. This is how my mother use to cook. R.I.P Queen.
Thank you for sharing this video! I watched it until the end! I've always been afraid to cook chattering but after watching this video gives me courage to try it.
I enjoyed this video so much. Ms Elaine reminds me of my dear Aunts. I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing 🙌🏾
Where did you get the strainer that attaches to the sink?
amazon has it.
Thanks ladies
Ive seen them at Ross and Marshall's too.

Ms.Elaine is deceased..
Hi Elaine. It was great seeing you share these great tips. I really love Chitterlings and had given up on them after my mother stop cooking them. Thanks so much for sharing and giving us the measurements (that helps alot) ! Keep up the great work!
My Deepest Condolences to you beloved, I could listen to her talk all day you could FEEL HER LOVING SPIRIT, MAY SHE REST IN PERFECT PEACE. THANK YOU FOR BLESSING THE WORLD
We were slaves we didnt have much if anything at all and with love and god we turned the most foul nasty food into delicious delicate beautiful food although I dont like chitlins I respect where it comes from
Neither you or anyone you have ever known has been a Slave. Stop.
Our Ancestors turned nothing into Something
@@eugeniasyro7315 white washed
Ajay Dwayne the French pay $50 a plate .. it's a delicacy in some countries.
@@eugeniasyro7315 wrong. I know people in there late 90s who had gradparents etc. They tell me the stories of there parents. I read books and poems written by people who were. I know. Can feel. Can see and understand.
I will definitely save your recipe. I never knew how to cook chitterlings and now I do. Thank you so much and show me what to look for and buy and chitlins I have heard of all aunt Betsy chitterlings, so I most definitely will buy those. Thank you once again for showing me how to cook them.
When I saw her hand I said...my GOD this knows how to cook.
BIG FACTS 😩😂😂💯
That is so funny I said it same thing... lol
Aunt Bessie's is the cleanest chittlins I've ever bought.
Dee Johnson I bought my grandma some. They are so expensive 😩. $63 for a few bags.
@@janesmith8442 Wow! I pay $10.00 for a 5lbs bag at Stop&Shop grocery store!
A good cook also have to talk to God a good time to relate about the what ever your cooking that it will be satisfying and plenty.The old school way your head covered no nail polish and apron you never leave or talk on phone your commited in that kitchen until your done if you have to wait clean your dishes.
I still hear about this I watched comedian micheal Allen said same thing, that aunt Bessie was the cleanest chitterlings he ever bought...people who eat them are going to look for the cleanest. We have come a long way from that red plastic bucket.. I fix mines like my mama did. She did add onions, peppers. Used the apple cider vinegar. Recipies are a guide. U might not like a certain ingredient. She took time to show you how she did it. If u look at the year it days 2013. Have some respect. If u grew up in the south you ate these plus somebody in the family raised hogs. Peas and rice what they called hopping john.. Rip ms Elaine. It videos are still being shown u still teaching from heaven. Bless you daughter. People should always be respectful of others cooking videos. Whether u agree or not. Have some respect. Its thanksgiving 2020. This video still being shown.. Take care, God bless, be thankful for whatever God has blessed you with on your table.. Not just today but everyday. Love, respect and positivity always. N.j.:-)
Right chitterlings and potato salad plus that rice n chitterlings gravy 👍😋
This was such a joy to watch. I'm isolating from the coronavirus and scrolling through videos to watch and came across this. God rest her soul. I remember the actress Annie Potts once said that she threw a couple of pecans in her chitterlings while cooking and it kept the smell at Bay. I haven't cooked them in a long while. Praying that everyone stays safe and healthy.
My grandmother always use to serve her Chitterlings with collard greens and ham howks, rice, homemade southern style corn bread, Macaroni and cheese, and potato salad. ☺️
Here Comes A New Challenger! I would have loved to be invited for dinner!
You Are Not Ready brea
This look good thank you
You Are Not Ready Only I look
That sounds so very good!
Omg. I really enjoyed your presentation. It funny I came across u I just cooked some Aunt Bestie's chitterlings on Christmas day in my pressure cooker they turned out great but I got a new spend I can put on them. You are so right u have to do very little cleaning to this brand. You have such a beautiful spirit i felt a kindred spirit as u talked. My spirit was confirmed as u invited ppl to share in at your church. U be so very blessed in this New Year. Jesus bless you always stayed blessed in Jesus.
The Lining on those Chitterlings need to be pulled also.
Thanks Elaine, I am from SC, and I know about the ART of choosing Chitterlings, that "red bucket" is a Nightmare ! 10 pounds to start, 3 pounds when Cleaned, and Rancid. You made need a Napkin to dwell the Drooling! Don't worry, I know where to get the Chitterlings You used, and tomorrow it's MY TURN ! Thanks for Sharing !😋
OOOOOO, Madame Elaine, you have given me the courage to make chitterlings! Once my Mother passed away, I just resigned myself to never eating chitterlings again! But upon chancing upon your cooking show, you demonstrated not only what brand to use but how to make them. So I have the courage to make them. As soon as I can afford it, I will be making them! I learned how to make pigs feet quite well, and my Mother would love them! I make them maybe twice a year; and freeze them so that I can enjoy them anytime. NOW I CAN MAKE CHITTERLINGS THAT I KNOW MY MOMMIE WOULD LOVE! Thank you Chef Elaine!
I just read Ms. Elaine's reviews. I didn't know she had passed. I will cook chitterlings in her memory.
Me too I love aunt bess 🥶❤️
Take a shot everytime she say them chittlins are " clean " 😭😭😭😭😂
Soooo happy I found your mother’s channel. I was looking for a “taste of home” to ring in the new year and this recipe is right on time. I’ ll keep her in mind along with my mother and step mom. Thank you for leaving it up!

OMG! just found this video. I am sorry mom is no longer here, but she has left her legacy. Reminds me of my mom. Thank you for sharing.
Just came across this video and she did an amazing job with information on Aunt Bessie's Chitlins and I really love the black eye peas and ham hocks in the rice. Something new and appetizing. Ms Elaine did an amazing job with this video and she was so down to earth and I appreciate her sharing some of the recipes and giving that little extra on how to make the chitlins taste good with the vinegar. You are a true blessing with your knowledge in cooking. May you Rest In Peace in your spirit.
I love this lady she is a true southern woman and I for one appreciate the opportunity to learn from the best thank you again for your fabolous cooking techniques and tips
Old school right there. Her energy is so real, reminds me of my mom and aunts. Great video. Sorry for your loss.
