Chitterlings, also known as “chitlins,” are a traditional dish made from the small intestines of pigs. Known for their unique flavor and rich cultural history, chitterlings hold a special place in Southern soul food cuisine and beyond. They are typically cleaned thoroughly, seasoned with spices, and slow-cooked to create a tender, flavorful dish. While they originated as a resourceful way to make use of every part of an animal, chitterlings have evolved into a culinary treasure celebrated in various cultures worldwide.
