Shit Chinese People Eat: Pig Intestines

The only things we can't eat from the air, land, and sea
are planes, cars, and boats.

The concept is really gross, but it tastes good...when it's cooked right and not, you know, toxic enough to kill you.

Or in other words, make sure you squeeze out all of the pig's shit that's lodged inside and thoroughly clean it before cooking and eating.

Bottom left hand corner: looks like the chef missed a spot.

Pig intestines are just fat, or at least they taste like fat. I'm not entirely sure and the internet doesn't  give me a good answer.

The consistency can be rather chewy if it's not cooked long enough, or if it's cut into thick pieces like the ones shown here.



I actually like it better when it's cut at a wide cross-section angle and each piece is an intact oval. You can see exactly how fatty it is inside the intestine. Of course, this way you also run the risk of food poisoning because it wouldn't be quite as clean.

Oh well, I haven't died yet :)
