Chitterlings, WHAT???!

I have ate these before. But, I don't eat them regularly. The last time that I had them was about 12 years ago... This is something that I hardly eat. My sister loves cooking gizzards. They smell so good, but I will not eat this. They say that Turkey Wings, Neck Bones, Ham Hock and Turkey necks are not good for you. I see many people eating this.

Again dictionary.com came handy lol [i]chit·ter·lings also chit·lins or chit·lings (chit'linz) Pronunciation Key pl.n. The small intestines of pigs, especially when cooked and eaten as food. [/i] Still dont know what it is really heheh but from what I read...sounds like a NO to me:))) Here we prepare food from cows stomach...many people love it I cant see it smell it and deffinitly not eat it. This is how it looks once prepared...

OMG I totally agree. My inlaws love to the stuff. I can't go over there cause the smell is just overwhelming. So don't worry you are not the only one.

I know what you mean. My grandfather was born in the US but was raised in Italy and he used to cook some really weird things, like tripe (cow stomach). The smell was about enough to knock you over! I think broccoli had a pretty bad smell, but it sure is good with cheese sauce! I guess it all depends on where and how you were raised and what foods you were fed growing up. I grew up in NY but have lived in the south for almost 20 years. Southerners eat some foods that I had never heard of growing up or would never have thought of eating. Grits, collard greens, black-eyed peas, catfish. Some are pretty good, some I just don't like. I mean who would have thought of eating a nasty bottom feeder like catfish? I tried it but just don't care for the taste.
