The pound of ground pork is usually trimmings while dressing out the pig,
then stuffing into intestines to make the 'sausage'. In a Mexican ranch,
nothing is wasted of the pig except what's inside the intestine at time of
death. That is washed out neatly. Oh, and the blood clot is also tossed. The
blood plus onions goes into blood sausage.

Cumin is a recent addition to the traditional stuff.
