'slave' food that is a essentially a mish-mash of rice, left overs and meat from animal/fish body parts that the 'slave owners' would reject! I should say that I have been reading your blog for sometime now and enjoy doing so.

Same sort of thing.

It's something like sausage, but with its own special taste. It comes from Pennsylvania, I believe.
