That will be a tough one since The White House kitchen was converted to 100%
kosher during the
Klinton administration.

Hey, I like "Chitlins". Never did like those black eyed peas though.
Pork, the other white meat. many parts are edible.

Is this, or is this not a racist remark.
Only the author knows for sure.

Some people like octopus, raw or cooked.

"Chitlins" is the venacular. It doesn't even have a cross-reference
entry in MWC-D11th

It is listed as "chitterlings or chitlins"

You might try a Gullah dictionary for "Chitlins".

Is there such a thing as a Gullah dictionary? Does it set next to the
Ebonics dictionary on the library shelf?

Gullah
1. One of a group of people of African ancestry inhabiting the Sea
Islands and coastal areas of South Carolina, Georgia, and northern
Florida.
2. The creolized language of the Gullahs, based on English but including
vocabulary elements and grammatical features from several African
languages and spoken in isolated communities from Georgetown in eastern
South Carolina to northern Florida.
