It's called "morcela", here in Portugal. Great with fava beans.
We also eat other yucky stuff like testicles, guts, snails and basically anything that swims and is not poisonous.
With enough garlic, anything is edible.

One assumes it's a more widely spoken language unless they have reason to believe otherwise.
Makes perfect sense.
if it looks like Spanish, but doesn't have many Spanish words, it's probably Portuguese.
It could be Gallician, Catalan, Aragonese, Barranquenho, Mirandese, or even Occitan, Romanian, etc.
The words "cota" (geezer) and "bué" (a lot) come from Angola, and were adopted by the Portuguese youth. The equivalents in Brazilian slang could be "coroa" (geezer) and "à beça" or "pa chuchu" (a lot).
Funny, this is all Portuguese. Languages are cool!
I'm just kidding
English translation could be something like this:
Far out, these geezers can dig some pretty cool stuff, dude.
I wasn't digging people speak cave men stuff. I'm freaking out with all this stuff. I'm really losing my marbles with all this science stuff. Really cool.
Science dudes, go on giving it all you can, we're with you.
"Chichi" means "pee" in Portuguese.
A bunch of Japanese words come from Portuguese. I hope this one is unrelated.
Fónix, estes cotas topam cenas altamente, meu.
Não tava a mancar que o people dizia cenas do tempo das cavernas. Tou-me a passar bué com este endrominanço todo. Tou memo a flipar da marmita com esta cena da ciência. Bué da fixe.
Bacanos da ciência, continuem-lhe a dar bué, o people tá na vossa cena.
This is one of several news I got here on Slashdot today in which the summary has nothing to do with the subject. Lately, most of the subjects are simply made up, to attract views.
I've had enough with Slashdot.
Frankly, I don't think most folks outside of the U.S. pay much attention to us or cares...unless Obama is shooting a missile up their butts.
Actually, you're quite wrong. The rest of the world is a lot more aware of what happens in the US than the opposite.
There will come a time when everything is illegal, and it will be left to the police or the government to decide who to prosecute.
This way we can have the illusion of living in a democracy but in fact we'll be under the paw of an arbitrary power. Of course the normal guy who doesn't stand out will never notice it, but those who bother the rich and powerful will be quickly and effectively silenced, in a completely legal way. It's already happening, for example with patents and copyright.
Wasn't this how Egypt was ruled for decades?
Isn't this a reality with illegal immigrants in Europe and the US? Everybody knows they exist, everybody pretends they don't, they don't have any rights or any political weight.
Has anybody watched Lars Von Trier's "Dogville"?
