Tips

culture
A signature Taiwanese night-market snack (台湾夜市 Táiwān yèshì): a grilled pork sausage tucked inside a split, grilled glutinous-rice sausage like a hot dog, then loaded with garlic, pickled radish, sweet soy, and chili. The name is literal — 大肠 'large intestine' (the rice sausage's casing) wraps 小肠 'small intestine' (the pork sausage).
memory
Read it left to right as a sandwich: 大肠 [] 小肠 = 'big intestine wraps little intestine'. here means 'to wrap', the same character as in 包子 (bāozi, steamed bun).
