Nagaland is a state in India located in the very northeastern part of the country, just to the west of Myanmar. I was excited to visit a friend in Nagaland, and before I arrived, I had no idea how important pigs were in the Naga diet. Soon I was dining on delicious pork cooked with dry bamboo shoots, rice, dal, and lots of different chili paste sauces.

But then I had an opportunity to roast and eat fresh pig intestines with my friend's grandfather - and what a fantastic idea that was! He sliced down some fresh banana leaves to use as a plate. He then took the pig intestines and sliced them into pieces. In order to roast over fire, grandfather then took bamboo and make slivers used for skewers, sharpening them to a point. He skewered each of the intestines and then prepared them to be immersed into the flames. They aren't grilled, they are roasted in Nagaland.

The grease from the pig intestines even caught on fire, as grandpa quickly blew out the flames. The result was flame charred pig intestines. They were actually quite delicious, like naturally sausage that just oozed with porky grease and flavor. I actually overall preferred the small pig intestines which were a little less oily and were slightly crunchy!

Anyway, I had an incredible time visiting Nagaland, India, and roasting pig intestines the local Naga way, should be high on anyone's priority list for a great time!
