Ever cook or eat Chitterlings/Chitlins?

I was walking through my whitebread Kroger the other day and spotted about 50 gallon tubs of chitterlings, or chitlins. Finding so much as a chicken liver or smoked turkey neck in this store is usually impossible, so I wondered how the hell they could sell all those chitlins.
Google tells me that chitlins are a big New Years tradition with black folks in the South. The tradition also includes other soul food like greens, fried chicken, black eyed peas, mac and cheese, etc. All sounds good except maybe those chitlins.
I’ve eaten some odd foods, including tripe, but I don’t think I’ve ever had chitlins or even had an opportunity to try them.
Have any of you ever cooked or eaten them? Reviews?

I have tried to eat them boiled and fried. I can’t do it. They are not good to me . My father’s family loves them. We had people that really knew how to cook them. I never could enjoy them. They taste like pig shite smells.

If I have to hose out my food, I'm not interested.

I’ve only smelled them cooking once and that’s all I needed to convince me to never try them. Ever.

50 gallons of chitlins seems extreme.

One of the articles I read was by a black guy who said he spent NYE as a child in his room with a towel under the door and a clothespin on his nose because his mom was cooking chitlins,

I cannot imagine that Chitlns would taste any different than tripe.
On a side note a professor I had at Auburn came up with a new use for pork tripe. It is called the McRib.

Nothing wrong with any of this.
I have no interest in chittlins.

Correct. You make your money in the prep work, just like painting.
Best advice for chitterlings,

Chitterlings is proper. I’ve had them and they are ok. If someone takes the real time to cook them correctly they can be eaten but if not they are bad. I’ve never cooked them.

Once you get them past your nose, they aren’t too bad.

They are disgusting before, during, and after being cooked...

No chitterlings were ever consumed at my parent's house, or have ever entered the door of my house.
However, my dad always liked to talk about them.
He was fond of saying that if you were about to place just enough chitterlings for your family on the dinner table and a bunch of people suddenly dropped by right as you were putting them on the plate, you could slip a grain of corn under the edge of one where it would be readily visible to all you would be guaranteed to have enough for you to get your fill.

My grandmother on my dads side used to cook it. And a very few of us would eat it.
After she passed away, no one in my family wants to cook it.
Now tripe....that’s some good stuff.
