Encyclopedia > Small intestine in large intestine
Enlarge
an instance of small intestine in large intestine observed in Taipei.

Small intestine in large intestine (Chinese: 大腸包小腸, Taiwanese tōa-tn̂g pau sió-tn̂g) is a snack invented in Taiwan in the late 20th century. A segment of Taiwanese sausage made using pork small intestine is wrapped in a segment of pork large intestine filled with sticky rice to make this delicacy, usually served chargrilled. It may be compared to a hot dog. Deluxe versions are available in night markets in Taiwan, with condiments such as pickled bokchoi, garlic, and thick soy sauce paste to complement the taste.

intestine: Definition and Much More from Answers.com (1899 words)
In anatomy, the intestine is the portion of the alimentary canal extending from the stomach to the anus and, in humans and other mammals, consists of two segments, the small intestine and the large intestine (or colon).
In humans, the small intestine is further subivided into the duodenum, jejunum and ileum while the large intestine is subdivided into the cecum, colon and rectum.
However the large intestine is mainly concerned with the absorption of water from digested material (which is regulated by the hypothalamus), as well as any nutrients that may have escaped primary digestion in the Ileum.
