Origin
Taiwan Aboriginal (Multiple tribes)

Description
Wild boar or pork is minced and seasoned with salt, maqaw (mountain pepper), garlic, and sometimes millet wine. The mixture is stuffed into natural casings (traditionally intestinal, now sometimes collagen). The sausages are hung to dry in mountain air or smoked over hardwood. They are typically grilled over slate slabs (Paiwan/Rukai) or open flame before eating.

The Thread
—The Portuguese sausage that arrived in Hawaiʻi with Azorean immigrants occupies the same “preserved pork sausage” niche in the Hawaiian diet that indigenous sausage occupies in Taiwan.
