Jaternice-Slovak

Jaternice is a Czech/Slovak sausage made from pork meat/offal and a filler material such as rice or barley. The sausage is course ground and always contains garlic. It was originally made from offal meats such as pork liver, lungs, head meat, heart. Blood was sometimes added as well. It makes a little sense to argue about the origin of the sausage as both Czech Republic and Slovakia were in the past one country known as Czechoslovakia.
