Best Answer

Chitlins, or Chitterlins, are the intestines of a pig, prepared as food. The earliest known reference to them was written in Middle English, so they were eaten during the medieval period in Europe, if not earlier, probably by members of the peasant class.

Chitlins, along with pig ears, fatback, necks, feet and snouts, were also fed to slaves during the American Colonial period because they provided a source of cheap nutrition and were considered undesirable cuts by wealthier people. Chitlins are still served by some African-Americans, and are considered traditional Southern cuisine.
