Chitlins yeah. Though I've only had them a few times. First in a
soul restaurant, out of curiosity. A couple of weeks later I had a
craving and had to go back. Turns out my sister from SC makes them,
but very different from the place in Chicago. Not as crave-inducing,
but still interesting. I think they just go put tomorrows shopping
list. Yeah, I know I've already said this in some thread months ago.
It seems relevant again, and some of us have short memories.

I don't know if its true or something I read in a novel, about
eyeballs in yogurt (not Dannon Offal on the Bottom). When I had
access to the goat heads I made a salad of mostly parsley, yogurt,
head meat and included the eyes. I liked it. Guests were disgusted.

No accounting for tastes, eh?
