REF: Chitlins

[Dee Crawshaw <dcrawshaw@STARBASE1.HTLS.LIB.IL.US>]

One of my second grade teachers is using the Scott Foresman reading series
and is presenting the poem "Charlie's Chickens" by Babs Bell Hajdusiewicz.
A line from the poem reads "Charlie Chip serves chitlins with chilled chunks
of cheddar cheese".   What are chitlins and how are they prepared and
usually served?  I looked up the world chitlins in the dictionary and found
that they are the intestine of a swine but that is all I could find.
Thanks.
