In Chile's countryside and rural areas, there is an unusual snack called ñachi. It is made with the blood of freshly killed lambs, goats, or pigs. The blood is combined with salt, coriander, lemon juice, and smoked pepper, and the concoction is then left to coagulate into a jelly.

Once set, ñachi is cut into cubes and served with bread on the side, although it can also be consumed while still in its soup-like state. This snack is a staple of the Mapuche people, and the word ñachi means blood in Mapudungun language.
