Chitlins (or chitterlings, as they're also called) are cooked pig intestines. While the vast majority of chitlins are pork, sometimes intestines from other animals (particularly cows) are sometimes used. They're typically boiled, fried, or stuffed with mincemeat and served as just one part of a larger meal.

Chitterlings or pork intestines are a favorite among Southern families. Traditionally, they are prepared during the holiday season, but deep freezing makes them available year round. Be sure to wash any surface and your hands thoroughly with a bleach solution to avoid contamination while handling raw chitterlings.
