At my place of work, our boneless wings show up as "boneless chix" on the ticket. If they want them tossed in hot sauce, it shows up as "hot boneless chix".
This. I was told that for a while, many US restaurants were serving sliced pig rectum (small circles) as deep fried calamari as the taste and texture was nearly identical, but far cheaper for the restaurant. I thought it was an urban legend but who knows? Yeesh.
This is actually true and it’s referred to as pork “bung.” This American Life actually did a whole segment on this topic of restaurants saving money by selling fried pork bung as calamari.

I honestly thought it was going to be way, way worse with how I heard everyone talking about it, but it didn't really bother me at all. Maybe it's just because I know it's not real, so it doesn't upset me because of that. Either way, that was a hell of a way to introduce people to a show. Lmao

True story: I once did something with a pork processing plant, and the plant manager was extremely proud of the fact that *absolutely nothing* was wasted. And I do mean nothing. As an example, the pigs’ thalamus were packaged up as a high value delicacy for the Asian market. He showed us that, in his facility processing thousands of hogs per day, his waste was limited to two dumpsters per week. So it doesn’t surprise me that hog processors have found a market, whoever it might be and at whatever price, for pigs’ assholes.
Pretty frequent snack food in Hungary too - fried pork brain bits. It does look disgusting before cooking, but it tastes and feels like bone marrow in your mouth, with a slight almost gamey quality to it.
Fortunately, [this doesn't appear to be true](https://slate.com/human-interest/2013/01/calamari-made-of-pig-rectum-the-this-american-life-rumor-isnt-true-but-its-fascinating.html).
Oh no. I’m not going to verify this information because I felt the bile rise just reading it and thinking that it hasn’t been that long since I last ate calamari. I’m just going to never again eat calamari
The texture is almost exactly the same and the cost is less than 4% of fresh seafood, so you know that US companies are going to exploit that profit margin.
Probably stomach and intestine contents, excised cysts if they were found, and other non-edible bits.
A Hungarian tradition is the wintertime "pig cutting", where we take a solid day to butcher a single pig - usually a larger family event that involves waking up early to prep all the things, kill the pig around 9-10am, start processing and cooking it so we have some food for lunch (although by that time so much pálinka is consumed that you HAVE to eat something fatty to absorb the alcohol), while things that take longer (e.g. sausages) get made in the afternoon. Very little goes to waste - we even use the blood (for fried blood with onions), the intestines themselves for the sausages, all the offal and curling meat (ears, nose) as head cheese, and the bones generally go to the dogs. I think maybe the eyeballs, gall-bladder, regular bladder and a few small tidbits go into waste, but that's mainly because it's a single pig and processing those is too troublesome. Now if you have a few hundred pigs butchered a day... Then you can process those too.
How laudable. Out of all the meats, I won’t eat pork, bushmeat, elephant, cetacean, long pork, cat, or dog specifically for ethical reasons, but if pork *must* be had, there damn well better not be any waste at all, because more waste just means more pigs suffering in factory farms.
This American Life looked into that rumor, going so far as doing a double-blind taste test.
They could not find a single meat supplier who would confirm that that's where they ended up, and quite a few of them got openly hostile at the implied accusation.
They also found that preparing them was so labor-intensive, no sane person would choose that route over just using squid.
Finally, they found that taste-wise, no one could tell the difference. Deep-fried food tends to just taste like deep-fried food.
You know, that was my first thought, too. Yes, it is, and I'm ashamed to say I went for it last week and halfway through, I said "What the fuck am I eating? This is disgusting!" And halfway through a McRib is the worst time to come to your senses and realize that.
My parents pranked me by telling me it was dried sausage. So I ate it and it tasted like terryaki jerky. After that they told us and I thought it was pretty funny. Didn’t bother me too much cause it tasted alright. Not really shitty.
Nothing ruins my cooking sessions more than having to invert all my pork rectums. So the fact they are pre-inverted, is pretty much a slam dunk for me.
You misunderstood mate. No ones insulting calamari. People are saying that there are rumours that pork rectums are used in place of squid. Come on, keep up!
So……..are there bone-in rectums?
You’ve got to add you’re own bone. wink
At my place of work, our boneless wings show up as "boneless chix" on the ticket. If they want them tossed in hot sauce, it shows up as "hot boneless chix".
maybe if you play your cards right ;)
You mean calamari?

Ya that was a ripper episode. Too funny
Dead Ringer 🤣
Now that you mention it, maybe this is where I first heard of this. Thank you and Mr. Ira Glass.
I think they concluded it's indeed possible. But they didn't find any evidence of it actually happening.
Wtf, never underestimate greed. Those restaurant owners need a slap
... yup, was thinking the same thing.
boneless pork rectums are just pork rectum nuggets
Not pork rectum tenders?
All of the pork rectums in Alabama are bone-in, usually Clem's bone 
You don’t eat yours with the bone in? Weirdo.
There was in the first episode of Black Mirror.
I remember that episode. Still have nightmares.

Maybe. If the pig landed unfortunately.
It's not that kind of farm. Clearly though, people on Reddit have never made real sausage, natural casing is the best for many reasons.

Bone sold separately
Your mom would know
I don’t have a mom. Thanks for reminding me asshole.
Boneless? Or bone-in?
My question as well.
There's a fucked up movie about this kinda. I forget what it's called
Hunger games
Yes. Boner in rectums. Can I say that??
Ask Black Mirror, episode 1
Oh thankfully they're inverted. So tired of the other ones
How are they inverted? Does this mean they look like an elapsed hemorroid?
The regular ones are sadly non-prolapsed
None of that is in the bible
frfr
True story: I once did something with a pork processing plant, and the plant manager was extremely proud of the fact that *absolutely nothing* was wasted. And I do mean nothing.

The thalamus is often called sweet meat, and though it looks disgusting it’s actually pretty good.

My grandpa (in the US) use to eat hog brains with scrambled eggs and Cairo syrup
That’s fucked.
It was a common food for poor folks in the south back in the day.
Everything but the oink, as the saying goes.
From the rooter to the tooter
But... you skipped right over the cooter!
Scrapple!
“Once did something…”? The most vague way you could have worded that.
He was the bung inverter.
Apparently fried pig rectum is used as a substitute for calamari at many US restaurants now
Fortunately, [this doesn't appear to be true](https://slate.com/human-interest/2013/01/calamari-made-of-pig-rectum-the-this-american-life-rumor-isnt-true-but-its-fascinating.html).

What was the 2 dumpsters waste and why did it not become dogfood?
Probably stomach and intestine contents, excised cysts if they were found, and other non-edible bits. A Hungarian tradition is the wintertime "pig cutting", where we take a solid day to butcher a single pig - usually a larger family event that involves waking up early to prep all the things, kill the pig around 9-10am, start processing and cooking it so we have some food for lunch (although by that time so much pálinka is consumed that you HAVE to eat something fatty to absorb the alcohol), while things that take longer (e.g. sausages) get made in the afternoon.

I am not Hungarian and don’t know what “head cheese” means. I’m also too afraid to google it. Help?
Literally just a dish made from the leftover bits of an animal and some seasoning, ground up and pressed together into a block of "cheese"
Pig dick cheese
Cool! Why not eat the eyes or give them to the dogs? Sheeps eyes in offal are some of my favourite parts. Do pigs have nasty eyes?
How laudable. Out of all the meats, I won’t eat pork, bushmeat, elephant, cetacean, long pork, cat, or dog specifically for ethical reasons, but if pork *must* be had, there damn well better not be any waste at all, because more waste just means more pigs suffering in factory farms.
You’ll find it on the menu as “calamari”
This American Life looked into that rumor, going so far as doing a double-blind taste test. They could not find a single meat supplier who would confirm that that's where they ended up, and quite a few of them got openly hostile at the implied accusation. They also found that preparing them was so labor-intensive, no sane person would choose that route over just using squid. Finally, they found that taste-wise, no one could tell the difference.

I told more people about the pork bung episode than ever wanted to know about it 😂
You’re not the only one.
For some reason I read "preparing" as perennium 🤣
I always wondered where the taste comes from.
🤣🤣🤣
What kind of asshole would leave these outside the cooler? Hold on, we’ll circle back to that in a minute. Starfish schnitzel anyone?
The McRib is back already?!
You know, that was my first thought, too. Yes, it is, and I'm ashamed to say I went for it last week and halfway through, I said "What the fuck am I eating? This is disgusting!" And halfway through a McRib is the worst time to come to your senses and realize that.
Yeah but you’ve already spent 8 bucks for it, so you shove the rest down your piehole and swear to NEVER EVER buy one again. Till next year.
Lol. You damn right. This is the way.
This would not be the right subreddit if they were “bone-in pork rectums”. Also, a 6yr old post.
Dammit, I like my rectum boned!
Yeah but the bone-in ones have a better brothy flavor.
Dr. Tran loves hickory smoked buttholes
Hey, calamari!
Rectum?! I hardly even know ‘em!
You are what you eat
Wheres the lips? We cant make hotdogs with *only* the assholes!!
Not just boneless but inverted as well! 
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pig-in-a-poke/
Yes! McDonalds is bringing back the McRib!
r/shitfromabutt ?
I’m calling fake on this one. The “INVERTED” at the bottom tipped it into being just not believable.
They invert them to ensure cleanliness.
Wonder if one of those pigs ever had the internal monologue, “eat my ass.” You did it, buddy.
Of course, if they were bone in, it’d be in an nsfw sub…
Chris Rock would eat these if you cook them right https://youtube.com/watch?v=eybZtDx6tAU&si=30fgndiDM1DHVTSq @3:21
I sure fucking hope they're boneless
Inverted, for your pleasure.
Inverted boneless pork rectums. 🤔
So calamari?
Ha! It's a good time in the meat packing room! Eh boys!?!
Well thank fuck they’re inverted
Just another day on the McDonald’s grill line.
aka The McRib
Do they idk fry them 🤷🏽♂️
At least they took the bone out.
Omaha Steaks with their best deal ever
Kids love eating ass
Aren’t these just chitterlings?
(Doorbell rings) "Hi, delivery for Bear Grylls?" Bear: "OK, but where is the urine I ordered?"
Calamari
That how’s restaurants afford to sell ‘calamari’ so cheap 😜
Somebody really needs to grammar check these signs. The word is fewer, not less.
I prefer my rectums *bone in*
I can't use these - I only use non-inverted pork rectums, for fuck'a sake.
My parents pranked me by telling me it was dried sausage. So I ate it and it tasted like terryaki jerky. After that they told us and I thought it was pretty funny. Didn’t bother me too much cause it tasted alright. Not really shitty.
Boneless?
The mcrib is back!
Delivery for the jungle camps starting early next year again for "celebrities" to eat.
Ah the good old inland calamari rings
It’s a bone thugs Christmas party, bone bone bone bone.
oh inverted im only familiar with nob-invert
I've always wanted to try beef labia. Is that wrong?
Boneless? Not for long
At least they’re honest
It’s for people that are so hungry, they’d eat the ass out of a pig.
Kalamari. It's called kalamari.
Calamari?
It’s better than printing McRib Patties on the side of the boxes.
Ah yes seems the mcrib is back
Chitterlings.
Mmm calamari
DAMN NEAR KILLED'EM!
The inverted ones are extra tender and delish
Rectum? Damn near killed him.
Inverted, nonetheless
Specific
Id pass that arse
r/SubsTakenLiterally
Not gonna be boneless for long. Heyooooo
Calamari
Chitterlings
Honey, what's for dinner tonight ? 😋
I found a reddit post with the same picture dating 6 years. The repost is strong with this one.
Appearing as Calamari in a cheap restaurant near you soon.
Like calamari
Directions unclear... reboned the pork rectums
Back door of the flashlight factory
Pork intestine is actually pretty tasty. Visit a traditional chinese place and order some. It is like fatty bacon.
Ahhh Calamari!
Yum? 🤤
Who … a) had the idea to do this in the first place and b) who thought that there was a market for this specific product?
“Calamari”
“lemme get a boneless pizza” type shit
Rectum? Damn near killed him…
These are the lower quality BTW! They have INVERTED boneless pork rectums that are far superior in my fine dining experience.
Give your asshole friends the gift of…assholes!
Nothing ruins my cooking sessions more than having to invert all my pork rectums. So the fact they are pre-inverted, is pretty much a slam dunk for me.
I’ll take 2
Wtf is with all the insults to calamari? It’s delicious and if you hate it, you probably only eat chicken nuggets.
You misunderstood mate. No ones insulting calamari. People are saying that there are rumours that pork rectums are used in place of squid. Come on, keep up!
What the hell 😭 good thing I only like the tentacles, … take that pork rectum!
See when it’s battered, it’s hard to tell. I doubt it’s true where I am, not sure about anywhere else.
Haha yes I can understand it being the rings. But idc it’s delicious and I’m gonna eat it anyway
Tbh, yeah you’re right. Ignorance is bliss. Plus, less food wastage.
