I've never ate them, I didn't like the look of it or the smell before they were cleaned or the smell while they were cooking. I'm the same way about pig feet. However I do understand and respect the history of them & why "some" blacks ate them.

I used to eat pig feet but not chitlings for the same reasons you named. I no longer eat pork at all anymore due to my Hebraic and health beliefs.

@@CodyCole80 ...Same. I liked pig feet with hot sauce growing up. Now that I know it's unclean for our people to eat I no longer do. There's plenty of good clean foods for us to eat.

I am Orange Mound Memphis born; that being said I was raised on "soul food." I had to eat it or I would get my bass whupt (spelled like it sounds). I didn't know what chitlins were, I only knew I needed to prepare my bass for a whippin. Oh, the dread that came with that smell of all that food cooking. The menu: collard greens w/ ham hocks, green beans w/butter & sugar lima beans butter beans black-eyed peas cornbread w/crackling pig feet pan fried cornbread corned-beef-n-cabbage Some people fried rabbit, fried frog legs, fried squirrel and cooked turtle for soup. Oh no, just remembered fried mackerel patties with chalky bones in it. YUCK! This video brings back memories long buried in my childhood. We moved to Seattle and now we eat'n like Bruce Lee . . . be water my friend. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s the food of our ancestors!! We weren’t fed scraps. We made the best out of everything 🏹💪🏾🪶 American Indian….not African American

😂 I’m a Bama-Belle, so I’m familiar with everything you listed, but I was never forced to eat chitlings. They were just around. 🤢🤮🤢

My Mother was from West Virginia and she cooked Chitterlings once a year. Either for Christmas or New Years. And it was a big deal. Ironically enough, chitterlings are expensive compared to its origins. Initially, they stink when you’re cleaning them and the first couple of hours of cooking. Then they start smelling so good. When my Mother would finish cooking them, they would be so tender, delicious, and flavorful. Oh, the nostalgia!!! ❤❤❤

I was raised by my grandfather. He was born in the south. I can never bring myself to eat chitterlings! I had a piece on my fork, but just could not do it! I can’t say I hate them because I never tried them‼️

My parents were from South Carolina, my sibs and I were born/ raised in Connecticut..chitlins NEVER made it into our home. My parents wouldn't have it. I'm 66 STILL haven't had nor chicken and dumplings - in many families (like mine), if Mom didn't like it, it never made to the table. I was stationed down south, I lost so much weight because, i couldn't even eat the chow hall southern food. I dont think of it as slave food, you did what you had to do. But, I'll be darned if I'll eat them.

I loved chicken-n-dumplings as a kid; I've only had that dish at Po' Folks in Memphis.

I get why they ate them back in the day but why now?

My family roots run deep in Florida and Alabama and I never had chitlins in my life. Wouldn't mind trying some.

@Dirtcake71 5 ай бұрын

This is a great video, but I'm never eating chitlins again.

I have never had chitlins but our family ate pickled pigs feet and hog maw stuffed with sausage,cabbage,and potatoes . I grew up knowing when you butchered you used all the animal nothing went to waste.

Good food history review. I ate chitlins when I was a kid, however I didn't like the smell. If clean and properly prepare I will eat chitlins.

It is not only eaten by blacks they are also eaten in other countries as well. Our neighbors south of the border also eat them fried.

I like pintos and neck bones but not chitlins, they smell too putrid imo

@tavarshia3122 5 ай бұрын

I forgot about pinto beans and neck bones. That made me think of red beans and rice too. The smell is even worse with chitlins are cleaned with vinegar.
