More news and updates as it becomes available!
This internationally known festival is
located in the quiet, southern town of Salley, South Carolina
(population 410) and is held annually the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Each year approximately 25,000 visitors converge on Salley to celebrate
one of the more unusual food items available, chitterlings.
Quite simply, chitterlings (or chitlin's) are fried pig intestines and
have been a southern tradition for over one-hundred years. |
