Ok. My friend eats this food but she won't tell me what it is. It sounds like Chitlons but she says its not spelled like that. My friend is black and she says white people don't really know what it is. Any ideas?

It's written 'chitlins' & it's fried pigs intestines.
If that grosses you out, we use it for sausage skins.
During slavery days, they were given skimpy rations.
They had to develop sources of food to stay alive.
These have now become cultural specialties;
such as Hog Jowls, Black eyed peas & Collard Greens.
These things were considered waste by the owners.

Not sure of the spelling, but this is the phonetic Chit er lings?
It's like the inside wall of a pigs stomach or something gross like that, lots of folks like them though. Suppose if it's what you were raised on... I dunno.
Hope I helped a little

funny you can't do a yahoo search on that type of food....
Chitterlings (often pronounced [ˈtʃɪt.lɪnz] and sometimes spelled chitlins in vernacular) are the large intestines of a pig that have been prepared as food. They are a type of offal.

Chitterlings or chit'lins are the intestines of young pigs, cleaned and stewed and then frequently battered and fried.

if it sounds like chitlins it probably is shes probably just a little embarrassed to confess that she eats pig intestines...
