Chitterlings is an example of a dish that may be traced directly back to slavery. Typically at Christmas time, pig entrails (i.e. the intestines) were given to the slaves who would then prepare them, creating a dish that became “chitterlings”. This is why this dish is still eaten---- to this day---- by some African Americans at Christmas. We here at ASFS don’t do chitterlings though.
