Instructions: In large pot, out in the yard, bring chitterlings, vinegar, onions, peppers and salt to a boil in lots of water. Simmer 3-1/2 to 4 hours, changing water 2 times, until fork tender. Cool. Remove all fat and foreign matter.

Reheat in fresh water and serve piping hot. Pass hot pepper sauce. To fry: dip 2-inch pieces of chitterlings in corn meal, salt and pepper. Fry in deep fat, not too crisp. For battered chitterlings: make a thin pancake batter. Dip chitterlings in batter and fry until golden brown. Serve with baked potatoes, slaw and corn bread.

Serves 4-6.
