When I was a little bitty boy many moons ago, my mother would take the intestine and clean it. She then would wrap it around the drumstick and tie it off. Then cook . I ate it and did not really think what it was. Your statement above brought pleasant memories back from my childhood.
Okay, so actually this could be going slightly off-topic--but I've been doing a little research on intestines, since they are just about the only edible part of a chicken I have never personally cooked or eaten. I found this recipe which actually looks kinda tasty. I might have try this sometime just for something different:
(For obvious reasons you might want to wash thoroughly, using something like a stick to turn them inside out, which seems like a lot of trouble--i don't know that a tiny bit of well cooked poo from home-grown chicken is going to hurt you, but it's supposed to give a bitter off flavor that most don't care for... or so i read... though i do recall watching a bizarre foods episode once where the host partook of some stewed chicken intestines which were NOT washed very thoroughly and he described them as interestingly "rustic," i believe...)
