Chicharon bituka are cracklings made of pork's intestines, but chicken intestines (isaw) are also being sold as chicharon. Large intestines of pork are called 'chicharon bulaklak'. This delicacy gives you a pungent nutty deep fried aroma, I used to buy from some vendors that even add ginger to the recipe.
It is often taken with a dash of salt/MSG and then dipped in vinegar. However, I like to do it my way and eat it as it is, or even make it as ulam for rice, then flush it down with a strong bitter tea, or maybe a liter of San Miguel Pale Pilsen. Great!
