They are typically cleaned, boiled, and often fried, and are popular in Southern U.S. cuisine as well as in other cultures around the world. While they can be an acquired taste due to their texture and flavor, chatlins are often enjoyed during festive occasions and family gatherings. Proper preparation is essential to ensure they are safe and palatable.
