Then the folks who like them always got their plate out. I’m the same way as I’m aways the one cleaning and cooking them and feeling like the little red hen because they are a lot of work.

I am a consumer of Queenella brand chitterlings. I purchased 6 packs yesterday from Walmart in Atlanta, GA. The packaging is blatantly and falsely advertising rinse, cook and eat in a 5lb bag. However, I have several issues with those statements: - The chitterlings are not cook and eat ready. Had I just rinsed, cooked and ate like the packing states my entire family would have been rushed to the emergency room. These chitterlings are filthy, with all types of waste in the packaging. - The package also states 5lbs which is also blatantly and falsely advertised. The contents of the package weighed in at little under 3.25lbs and another package was just under 3lbs Food Critic1 (a moment ago | edit | delete)

After I found out I didn't care. I would however advise any novice who wants to try them to try and sample someone else's before you try to clean them yourself. Even the precleaned ones (Queenella, etc) require cleaning. While the directions posted were very clear on how to clean and cook I think you need someone to supervise and show what you need to look for.

Slaves survived on what the masters did not want for themselves and that is why it is an "ethnic" tradition and something that we still cook today as a reminder that we overcame all that. Hogs used to be slaughtered in December during slavery times and slaves were given neckbones, fatback, pig feet, the intestines (chitterlings) and hog maws. As a result we have perfected cleaning and cooking methods for these things. Do ALL of us eat it? no. I personally hate it. But I certainly don't knock them when my mother cooks them because I know why they are prepared. Heritage not hate. It’s so disgusting that it’s what masters gave to the slaves to eat.
