Chitlins is what these are called, for those who don’t know. It’s such an interesting lens of how food traditions mirror class structures in different societies. For example, polenta (I can’t find the source here to save my life so sorry if this is incorrect) was an Italian peasant food made from leftover maize while the landlords exported all the high-value stuff to other markets. The bison were systemically eradicated to destroy indigenous food systems. Countless abundant foods have been abandoned as populations became richer and wanted to show off their new wealth, like paw-paw fruits.
Another example is birria, a Mexican dish made from stewed goat meat. The name literally translates to “garbage/worthless” and was created out of desperation by the natives.
Along with other livestock, the conquistadors introduced goats to Mexico, but unlike the other livestock, goats became an invasive species. They bred rapidly and ate everything, including harvests, which worsened famines. So even though goat meat was considered tough, disgusting, and taboo (hence the name) indigenous Mexicans began to eat them for survival.
Birria is absolutely delicious though. 100/10 food. Fuck the Spanish
We have a lot of dishes here that are like this because of fr*nch colonialism. Them tasting good is them maxing out a weapon from the worst tier.
