There is this soul cafe at Interstate 10 exit 318 connected to a Truck Stop Casino. When they were elsewhere they did pig parts on alternate Saturday's. They stopped when they moved but they are now doing it again on alternate Sunday's. They cook pig's feet, pig tripe and chitlins. I always get a combo. It comes with smoky greens, sweet potato and a huge hunk of cornbread that I used to soak up the juices. So if traveling the I-10 corridor and want a great plate lunch or a decent breakfast pull off and enjoy this place called Lagniappe Cafe.

I think I saw that plate on CSI on Wednesday. I'm sure it's good, looks a bit "intestiney" at first glance. What's on their normal "non-offal" menu?

Pretty much regular meat and three although they do turkey wings. Saturday is BBQ with pecan smoked meat. I just like offal. I know it is not everyones cup of tea.

No thanks! I have the image now of what to think about to curb, possibly halt, my appetite. It used to be raw eggs. Now visions of pig tripe will work as an appetite suppressant. Gak!

Hello! No offense Bear but when I saw that plate, I literally felt sick. Oh my God that would also serve as an appetite suppressant for me to say the very least.

I happen to fall into this group.

On another note, three times I saw the title of this thread and in my mind I read Munch in Lake Charles.

I think there should be a Legion of Decency warning on this post. I can't get the bile out the back of my throat.

Moi aussi! I wasn't going to say anything, Arthur, but I am not above jumping on a bandwagon...I sure hope for your sake that that stuff tastes better than it looks. You are a brave man.

In Arthur's defense, I like pig's feet, (pickled ones especially) had tripe a few different ways, not too bad, but I'd have to have my chit'lins fried, or deep fried, or some other way, I think. are they chewy? They look kinda chewy.

I eat some weird things, Arthur… be proud. We use other parts of the intestines for sausage casing don't we? I did read that the chitterling comes from a bit closer to the pig's… uhhhh, well you know, but they're cleaned, steamed, and sanitized for your protection.

I've seen Andrew Zimmern eat the testicle of nearly every animal possible. Now that's ballsy for him to do that. What a nut. It wouldn't be so bad except he describes how it feels eating it. Gak!

The chitlins were so tender I could cut them with a fork. OK people I will never post the good stuff again to save your appetite. Happy
