Why Black Folks Eat Chitlin
Why did black Americans begin eating chitlins in the first place? Here are the simple facts. During Slavery, when hogs were butchered, slave owners kept the preferred cuts of meat. (Note the expression, eating or living "high on the hog.") On the other hand, the remaining parts of the hog -- the feet, ears, snout, neck bones, skin, intestines, etc. -- were given to slaves. With their ingenuity and cooking expertise, black Americans were able to create appetizing and fulfilling dishes using the least desirable plants and the animals parts that were usually discarded by non-slave owners. This was the origin of what is now generally known as "soul food."
Black Americans ate chitlins because, after twelve generations of doing so, eating chitlins was a part of their culture and because chitlins were cheap, in many instances eating them was an economic necessity.
In 2009, 40 years after the Jim Crow era, chitlins are no longer cheap -- they can be as expensive as some "high on the hog" cuts of meat. In 2009 black Americans eat chitlins because, after almost four centuries, eating them is an integral part of black culture.
