Small pork sausage, thin and red. It combines spices, pork meat and it owes its colour to the powdered sweet peeper added to the filling. It is spanish by origin, but it is largely eaten as a pub snack in other countries. Very tasty, but very fatty also.

Mangu is a typical Dominican food, commonly eaten as a side dish, or as part of more complex dishes. It is made by mashing boiled green plantains and adding a little salt, pepper, water (or a flavoured stock) and butter to it. It's commonly eaten as part of breakfast accompanying fried salami or as a side dish, just like mashed potatoes. Very filling and tasty. The name of Mangu is a contraption of the expresion Americans used when they first tried it during the USA invation of the Dominican Republic in the early 20th century "Man Good", hence "Mangu".
