Were chitlins originally called shitlins?
No.
Who first served chitlins or chitterlins?
Chitlins, or Chitterlins, are the intestines of a pig, prepared as food. The earliest known reference to them was written in Middle English, so they were eaten during the medieval period in Europe, if not earlier, probably by members of the peasant class. Chitlins, along with pig ears, fatback, necks, feet and snouts, were also fed to slaves during the American Colonial period because they provided a source of cheap nutrition and were considered undesirable cuts by wealthier people. Chitlins are still served by some African-Americans, and are considered traditional Southern cuisine.
What country does chitterlings come from?
unfortunately America. I say unfortunately because in Slavery times slave owners that raised pigs would give the slaves nothing but the scraps of animals so they made what they could out of the scraps and thus chitterlings, or chitlins where created.
