Hello, Dee. Chitlins are fried pig intestines. The pig is gutted, the
intestines are cleaned out and cut into segments and then deep fried in
huge kettles. In North Carolina there is a Chitlin Festival complete with
Chitlin Queen every year. They cook the dadgum things pretty far away
from the festival because they smell so bad. I don't personally recommend
them but I guess you should try most everything at least once!! Happy
dining!
