This tradition remains today in hallmark dishes like chitterlings (commonly called chit'lins), which are fried small intestines of hogs ; livermush (a common dish in the Carolinas made from hog liver); and pork brains and eggs.
Popular items such as Chorizo ( pork sausage ), morcilla ( blood sausage ), chinchulines ( chitterlings ), mollejas ( sweetbread ), and other parts of the animal are also enjoyed.
