This was the rare holiday season in which I didn’t have a bowl of home-cooked chitterlings, which are pigs’ intestines — “chitlins” to the initiated. But seasoned with onions, celery salt, fresh garlic, and a little hot sauce the way I like? Chitlins later became a part of American Southern cuisine generally. Many friends laugh when I remind them of my chitlin cravings around the holidays. In October, I began my search for a brand of raw, frozen chitterlings with a reputation for being exceptionally clean.
