No, you just scrub the poopie off just like you do from vegetables
grown in poopie.

First you have to know how to pronounce them - it's "chitlins" despite
how it's spelled. Once they are washed well, you coat them in flour
mixed with spices (pepper, garlic, onion powder and chili powder) and
deep fry them. They don't stink if you prepare them properly.

Secondly, if you think chitlins are the only food stuff containing
poop, you'd be wrong. Many shellfish still contain poop when you eat
them, as do escargot. Not that I expect you be eating escargot any
time soon.
