內黃有許多特色小吃，如灌腸、豆沫、耙糕、壯饃，在所有的小吃當中灌腸是最有內黃特色了。　　
        
    灌腸起源在清咸豐年間，由縣城邱姓屠戶發明，流傳至今。灌腸以豬血、豬腸、面粉、香油、五香料為主要原料精制而成，可以涼調，叫筲灌腸；可以煎食，叫煎灌腸。味美可口、風味獨特，且有補血、健脾、壯筋骨、消滯之功效，很受群眾歡迎。有民謠《內黃灌腸》曰：“腸子豬血白面灌，小刀一拉下煎盤，小鏟兒一翻撮一碗，肚里不饑能解讒。”　　
       
    所謂灌腸，就是將豬腸子洗凈，用４０％的面粉、６０％的豬血，拌成汁灌入腸內，將腸子兩頭用細繩子扎緊，然后將其放入鍋內煮熟的一種食品。煮腸子時最關鍵的是要邊煮邊用錐子扎腸子排氣，這樣腸衣就不會被煮裂。把煮好的灌腸放在保溫桶里擺攤賣，這種灌腸叫筲灌腸。筲灌腸只需把剝好的蒜加上少許鹽搗成蒜汁，把灌腸切成片，澆上蒜汁就可以吃了。筲灌腸要趁熱吃，吃起來感覺入口光滑、軟而爛，且辣中帶香、香而不膩。內黃人為什么把盛在保溫桶中的灌腸稱作“筲灌腸” 呢？據說，以前賣灌腸的人，把灌腸煮好以后放在筲（一種用竹子或木頭制成的桶）里，擔著沿街去賣，所以叫做筲灌腸。現在，社會發展了，人民生活水平提高了，人們就把筲換成了保溫桶，可仍管它叫筲灌腸。筲灌腸是內黃現在最流行的小吃，無論早、中、晚，無論春夏秋冬，大街小巷到處都是擺小攤賣灌腸的。看那些灌腸攤前，一個個吃灌腸的人的吃相，就是不餓也會忍不住前去來一碗！“老板，來一碗肥點類。”一口地道的內黃話加一碗熱騰騰的筲灌腸就是一個內黃人典型的形象！　　
        
    街頭賣的另一種是將灌腸切成片煎著吃，叫煎灌腸。用豬油煎出來的灌腸是最好吃的，只見一片片灌腸煎成了金黃色，讓人看上去很有食欲，吃起來外焦里嫩，香味撲鼻。煎灌腸在內黃也是比較受歡迎的小吃。煎灌腸的起源要比筲灌腸早，在內黃的鄉村比較流行，在縣城比較少，如果去鄉下趕廟會，就能吃到純正的煎灌腸了。
