    The West Indian blood sausage is one of the most famous dishes of Martinique. Although it is found today at any time of the year, it was previously reserved strictly for the Christmas period when the pork is the meat in the spotlight. It was a tradition to prepare it with the family before Christmas Eve and then share it on New Years Eve where it came out as a starter before the traditional pork stew.
