I always knew that the proper supply chain management ebusiness plan could free me from the hell that is cleaning those pesky pig intestines.

Plus, all you ever wanted to know about chitlins, but were VERY AFRAID to ask.

Gross. Gross. Gross.

Doh, "Mexicans eat chitlins in a spicy, tomato-based soup." Menudo. I eat it about 3 times a year at least. Mmmmmm.

Yum, chitlins. And to go with them you could get some tripe and make menudo.

Whoa, not fast enough.

Never had 'em! Mom didn't care for them (thank goodness-the okra, tripe, chicken gizzards, ox tails and lima beans were already the source of many tears and arguments).
Its not that I'm chicken-I love sushi and I've eaten rattlesnake but it just seems so...unnecessary. Y'know?

The thing I appreciate about this site is the tightrope walk of proudly talking about a product that once had feces coarsing through it. Even Yugo salespeople had more to work with.

Thanks for the link. This explains the commercial I used to hear on a local AM radio station for some market that sold "the cleanest chitlins in Metro Detroit!"

Andouille sausage is made from chitlins and tripe.

Jesus! I've been eating this (pardon the pun) crap for years, and didn't know it.

I swear I'm gonna go vegetarian.

Hey! Where's the info on the supply chain solution for these little piggie parts?

After all, if you're gonna eat'em, you're gonna want to make sure they're fresh.

You just ruined a perfectly good ham sandwich. I guess I get what I deserve for surfing Metafilter during my snack break.

Look at it the other way. You've been eating this crap for years, and it's actually good! So give up on your taboos and start eating ~ii~~uXm!!7yg~i~i~~~
