The first thing I want to say is that I think your answer to the question in the title is correct. As you might expect, pork bung isn’t the pretty pink pork you can buy in a store window. You know that at a great little bistro, pork bung probably won’t be glazed in a reduction of sherry and shallots and served with pommes aligot. Pork bung is, in fact, the final length of the hogs digestive tract, its rectum.
Bung is a term that is more often associated with wine. Specifically, it is the stopper hammered into the bunghole on the side of a wine barrel. Since this is the hole that the wine barrel drains through, it became poetically linked to other holes used for emptying. Even though the fact that pork bung comes from a pig might be gross, it is eaten and enjoyed all over the world, just like other animal waste. You may have already decided that you will never eat pork bung, but you may be a lot closer than you think.

Is pork bung safe to eat?
It is known that pork bung comes from a hog’s rectum. But what is the rectum? In mammals, it is the last part of the digestive tract where feces are stored before they are released. The anus, which is the outside part of the digestive tract and the end of it, is not part of the rectum. Or, as some may prefer to think of it, pork bung is what it is.
You wouldn’t be wrong to wonder how something that is so closely linked to poop and defecation can be safe for people to eat. The same as anything else: through thorough cleaning. After being taken off the pig, the pork bung needs to be washed several times in clean water until you’re sure it doesn’t hold any more poop. Then it needs to soak for an hour in a tub of vinegar mixed with water. Finally, it needs to be boiled in clean water for 10 minutes to kill any germs. Once this thorough process is complete, you can move on to cooking your pork bung.
Another thing to remember is that, ultimately, pork bung is an organ meat, also known as offal. Moreover, it is one of the organs involved in the excretory and digestive processes, and tastes as such. How does that make sense? Pork bung tastes like offal and has a slight ammonia smell like organs like kidneys.
Pork bung vs. sausage casings vs. chitterlings
Still sure you’ll never touch pork bung, not even a little bit? If you eat meat, you probably have. The small intestine of a pig is where natural pork casings for sausages come from, but only a small part of it. To make casings, all but the submucosa is removed. The submucosa has a lot of collagen, a connective tissue that makes it strong enough to stuff and cook, but soft enough to bite through, giving the signature “snap.” ” Hot dogs that feature a natural casing typically use sheep intestinal submucosa which is smaller in diameter.
Pork bung is different here in a few key ways. It’s not just one layer of the digestive tract that does the work; it’s a whole part of it, with the mucous membrane and muscles. It comes from the small intestine, while the pork bung, which is made up of the rectum, is part of the last stage of the pig’s large intestine.
Speaking of things pork bung isnt, chitterlings (or chitlins) are one of them. This dish is popular in the southern U.S. and has a lot to do with African American food history in the U.S. S. comes from the small intestine of the pig, just like sausage casings. It’s a lot like pork bung. Still, the ways to cook the two types of offal are very similar, which makes things even more confusing.
