I take some pride in being someone who will eat anything from any culture. I may not love it, I may not order it in a restaurant next time, but I will try it, and usually I will eat it. I've enjoyed duck feet, sea cucumber, raw Japanese shrimp, beef tongue, alligator tail, everything.
But CHITLINS bested me! I couldn't do it! The smell hit me and I literally ran out of the room feeling sick. It's not the concept -- I eat tripe -- it's the stench. That, my friends, is the unmistakable smell of pig manure, and I don't want it in my house, much less my face.
Any chitlin fans out there who can clue me in to the appeal? Can a person learn to like them? Or is there just no hope if I didn't eat them as a child?
