Answers:
Back in the day when there were slaves and "masters." The "masters" ate every other part of the pig but left the intestines, the feet, and other parts for the slaves and that is what they ate and learned to like.
Other Answers:
Beats me. I'm told they smell awful while they're cooking.
they are not a "delicacy". Years ago they started being eaten by the slaves and also the poor- especially in the south. when sometimes all they had were the leftovers to make a meal out of.people made do--- cooked em up and made them taste good, like frying them. They are now considered a sort of soul food.which many people like.
YUCK
What is a delicacy and what isn't depends on several things: available food resources, cultures and taboos, climate, and other very local-specific factors. People who have been eating chitterlings are used to the strong flavor and can appreciate the taste because they are broght up eating it and their brain have been taught to equate the taste with comfort and happiness.
Some foods are an acquired taste. Sushi, for example. Most Americans two generations ago would think eating raw fish sounds pretty horrible, but now there are more people who love to eat it.
Consider the situation from a different angle. Things that you think are tasty may not be so in other people's mind. There are many older relatives in my family who do not eat beef because in the older agricultural days, cows and oxes were used for working in the field and never for eating. So the smell and taste of beef simply gross them out. Just to show that when it comes to defining what is a delicacy and what isn't, it is very subjective and very culture-specific.
By the way, traditionally sausages are made using intestines as the casing. So if you like sausages, you can appreciate that with the right kind of seasonings and spices and cooking methods, intestines aren't that awful.
probably for the same reason people eat pigs feet...don't believe its considered a delicacy, more of an acquired taste that you had to have grown up or were accustomed to eating...kind of like escargot and caviar.not my kind of food yet for some people it is the cat's MEOW.
A pig is about 60% "pork meat" and only 3-4% intestines. So of course chitterlings are going to be a delicacy!
Can you explain to me why you think it is "normal" to eat a cow's leg muscles, and its stomach muscles, and its buttocks, but you think eating its tongue muscle is odd?
probably the same reason pigs brains and feet are, like they say the only thing wasted on a pig is the squeal.
