chitling
Fried hog gut
Chitlings are pig intestines prepared as food, a traditional dish in Southern American and soul food cooking.
The intestines are cleaned, boiled, and often fried.
The word is almost always plural and commonly spelled chitterlings in formal contexts, though chitlins is the usual pronunciation.
Grandma's chitlings were a holiday tradition.
