Coddle (sometimes Dublin coddle; Irish: cadal) [1] is an Irish dish which is often made to use up leftovers. It most commonly consists of layers of roughly sliced pork sausages and rashers (thinly sliced, somewhat-fatty back bacon) with chunky potatoes, sliced onion, salt, pepper, and herbs.
I'm trying to think up some whimsical alternative names for regions in South America. I'd like to know what the various parts of a rasher of bacon (i.e. the medallion, the rind, (whatever the bottom part is called)) are known as in the Spanish language.
