I don't fukk with any of the 3 dishes op mentioned but properly cleaned and cooked chitlins should have a minimal funk throughout the crib. Just a distinct smell of cooked tripe. If it's boomin all in the house and you smell shyt all over then someone needs to stay out the kitchen and hand over the cooking to the proper family cook.
Just do the greens and mac n cheese test to fam and outsiders. If the (collard, turnip,mustard) greens and mac n cheese dont come out right then know your in the presence of a terrible cook
