内黄有许多特色小吃，如灌肠、豆沫、耙糕、壮馍，在所有的小吃当中灌肠是最有内黄特色了。　　
        
    灌肠起源在清咸丰年间，由县城邱姓屠户发明，流传至今。灌肠以猪血、猪肠、面粉、香油、五香料为主要原料精制而成，可以凉调，叫筲灌肠；可以煎食，叫煎灌肠。味美可口、风味独特，且有补血、健脾、壮筋骨、消滞之功效，很受群众欢迎。有民谣《内黄灌肠》曰：“肠子猪血白面灌，小刀一拉下煎盘，小铲儿一翻撮一碗，肚里不饥能解谗。”　　
       
    所谓灌肠，就是将猪肠子洗净，用４０％的面粉、６０％的猪血，拌成汁灌入肠内，将肠子两头用细绳子扎紧，然后将其放入锅内煮熟的一种食品。煮肠子时最关键的是要边煮边用锥子扎肠子排气，这样肠衣就不会被煮裂。把煮好的灌肠放在保温桶里摆摊卖，这种灌肠叫筲灌肠。筲灌肠只需把剥好的蒜加上少许盐捣成蒜汁，把灌肠切成片，浇上蒜汁就可以吃了。筲灌肠要趁热吃，吃起来感觉入口光滑、软而烂，且辣中带香、香而不腻。内黄人为什么把盛在保温桶中的灌肠称作“筲灌肠” 呢？据说，以前卖灌肠的人，把灌肠煮好以后放在筲（一种用竹子或木头制成的桶）里，担着沿街去卖，所以叫做筲灌肠。现在，社会发展了，人民生活水平提高了，人们就把筲换成了保温桶，可仍管它叫筲灌肠。筲灌肠是内黄现在最流行的小吃，无论早、中、晚，无论春夏秋冬，大街小巷到处都是摆小摊卖灌肠的。看那些灌肠摊前，一个个吃灌肠的人的吃相，就是不饿也会忍不住前去来一碗！“老板，来一碗肥点类。”一口地道的内黄话加一碗热腾腾的筲灌肠就是一个内黄人典型的形象！　　
        
    街头卖的另一种是将灌肠切成片煎着吃，叫煎灌肠。用猪油煎出来的灌肠是最好吃的，只见一片片灌肠煎成了金黄色，让人看上去很有食欲，吃起来外焦里嫩，香味扑鼻。煎灌肠在内黄也是比较受欢迎的小吃。煎灌肠的起源要比筲灌肠早，在内黄的乡村比较流行，在县城比较少，如果去乡下赶庙会，就能吃到纯正的煎灌肠了。
