Chitterlings (British English: /ˈtʃɪtəlɪŋz/ CHIT-uh-lings; American English: chitlins /ˈtʃɪt(ər)lɪŋz/ CHIT-linz) are the intestines eaten as offal. The large intestine is further known as bung. Chitterlings are consumed both as the casing for stuffed food and as a main ingredient. Depending on preparation and cut, chitterlings can range in texture from very tender and gelatinous, to being springy.
