A Salute to all on Watch
Anyone ever try them? My son saw them at WM and asked what they were. I knew, but looked up how to prepare. I got as far as turn inside out and clean off any food particles or feces.
When I left home back in the 80's i rented a trailor behind Midway Bar. People across the street would cook them at times, stunk the whole street up, literally; never smelled "food" that smelled like sh*t before

They say throw an onion in to cover the smell. Guess it must be pretty bad.

Oooooooooooooyeaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......I asked the guy what the heck he was cooking and he told me and offered some, I passed. His were probably "fresh chitterlins" as he was an older guy from down in Valley Lee, you thinking about fixin' some?

Just tell him that sometimes people who are poor end up eating things that no one else would and then actually convince themselves that they like it and it tastes good. The discussion after this statement can go anywhere from chocolate-covered grasshoppers to the power of the human mind. Have fun with it!
(And those are the nastiest-smelling things I have ever smelled! I can't believe people eat them!!

Like I said, the "whole street" was stunk up.....

Oh, no no no no no no no no no no.
I won't try them, they can't make me. Never.

The first and only time I had them was accidentally in field training camp at a chow hall going through the line over 30 years ago. I pointed to it and asked them for some thinking it was tuna casserole, but when I got back to my table (and still before I knew it wasn't casserole), there was a smell that almost made me think I stepped in something.
Now...I LOVE oxtails, which some would consider another part of the cow not to eat. But chitterlings? No thanks. And they can keep the tripe while they're at it, too.

Chitlins are one of the only offal (yes, sounds just like awful) foods I have never tried.
I love tripe, tongue, brains, livers, and kidneys.
It's the texture...and a flavor that you can't find with chicken or beef main parts.
Mig should be back on Monday. I would love for her to make me a batch of chitlins.
It's a Southern thing and also an Asian thing.

I made soup with an ox tail in it, really greasy.

Also English, Italian and Spanish.
Pass on liver, tripe ( have tried the Mexican tripe soup, which isn't too bad) and never tried kidneys. Never seen them. I do like beef tongue . Funny thing is every once in I while I get a craving for braunschwieger, which is basically liver.

Kidneys are more of a British thing. I spent a day making a kidney and steak pie. It was a complete fail. I did go to a Scottish Pub which served it. Beautiful (if food could be described that way...it was)
I crave flavor and I do love liverwurst. Mustard and onions on top.
I'm hungry again.
Normal "American" foods bore me.

Yep, liverworst is good.
Usually the kidneys used in this are lamb, beef kidneys tend to have an off taste (sour)

I make oxtail soup (in fact, I made a first day batch today which is now in the freezer waiting for day two) - it's a two-day process because of that fattiness. On day two, you remove the collar of fat. But when it's done, it's delicious.

I've tried tongue and thought it was good, and definitely love liver, gizzards, hearts, etc. (but also haven't tried kidneys or consuming brains yet). Been craving new flavors a lot lately also, which is why I'm suddenly into cooking. The next weird one is going to be simmering chicken feet (for a great gelatin chicken stock) if I can find them anywhere.
