Ubre asada is a Chilean dish that can be translated as grilled udder. In order to prepare it, fresh young cow's udders are sliced, seasoned, then grilled until they develop a golden color. If cooked properly, the udders should have a spongy and tender texture while the edges remain crispy. Cow's udders used in the dish are usually obtained after the cow slaughter, but they can also be bought from butchers and in supermarkets throughout the country. Ubre asada is also popular in Argentina, where it's known as ubre a la parrilla, and over there it's typically served with chimichurri.

Hailing from Kazakhstan, ulpershek is a traditional meat specialty consisting of horse's heart, aortas, and fat.

In Kazakhstan, there&rsquo;s a special custom where sisters-in-law come together and share this horse meat delicacy between themselves as an act of friendliness and unity. Ulpershek is also commonly enjoyed throughout the country.

Verivorst is a traditional blood sausage and the country's national dish. It is a typical winter meal, usually served during the Christmas festivities, when piles of verivorst sausages are roasted together with potatoes and pork. The sausage consists of pig's blood, pork, barley, onions, allspice and marjoram. All of the ingredients are stuffed into a pig's intestine, and the sausage is typically accompanied by butter, sour cream, and sauerkraut on the side. For the best experience, verivorst should be topped with a zesty compote made from cranberries or lingonberries. Although cooking with blood might seem strange, there are varieties of verivorst in many other cultures and cuisines such as the Spanish morcilla, French boudin noir, and Irish black pudding.

Embora tenha se originado na província de Chaozhou, na China, a sopa de órgãos de porco é hoje mais popular em Cingapura. O prato consiste em miúdos de porco, carne de porco fatiada, tiras de vegetais, folhas de cebola e pimenta. É frequentemente servida acompanhada de ovos, arroz, vegetais, tofu refogado ou um molho especial preparado com uma combinação de molho de soja e pimentas picadas. Acredita-se que o segredo de um bom caldo é a combinação de sal e doçura provenientes de horas de fervura de vegetais em conserva e ossos de porco.

Zungenwurst is a traditional blood sausage that contains pieces of pickled tongues. It typically consists of a mixture of pork blood, fat, and pieces of pickled tongues, seasoned with ground pepper and (optionally) other strong spices. Usually, the blood sausage is entirely made of animal parts, containing no fillers or cereals. Since the sausage is typically cured and dried, it requires no cooking prior to its consumption. A common sausage in Austria as well, it can be consumed both hot and chilled, fried, or sliced in sandwiches. Its name is derived from the German words Zungen, meaning tongues in English, and Wurst, which translates to sausage.

Żymlok is a traditional Silesian blood sausage consisting of a mixture of pork blood, bread rolls, ground pork offal, onions, spices, and seasonings stuffed into intestines. The ground meat is cooked in meat broth and the bread rolls are soaked in the same broth before they are combined and added to the intestines. Bread rolls are called żymła in Silesian and bułka in Polish, hence the name of this sausage. Żymlok is usually flavored with aromatic spices such as marjoram, nutmeg, black pepper, bay leaves, allspice, and juniper berries. Although it appears to be a regular sausage, its consistency is similar to black pudding. It used to be traditionally prepared after St. Martin&rsquo;s Day, when pigs were slaughtered, and it was then served at various festivities. Not as popular as it once used to be, the sausage can be consumed hot or chilled, typically accompanied by caramelized onions and slices of bread.
