The most common Mexican sausage by far is "chorizo". It is fresh and usually deep red in color (in most of the rest of Latin America, chorizo is uncolored and coarsely chopped). Some chorizo is so loose that it spills out of its casing as soon as it is cut; this crumbled "chorizo" is a popular filling for torta sandwiches, eggs, breakfast burritos and tacos. "Salchichas", "longaniza" (a long, thin, lightly spiced, coarse chopped pork sausage), moronga (a type of blood pudding) and head cheese are also widely consumed.
