Hello, in Chile (South America) we use the expresion "Prieta" (not Morcilla as the rest of spanish spoken countries) to name this kind of sausage. By the way, in some places of our contry, this sausage is made with blood and nuts.

There's also the Polish variant called keeshka. We have that every year (my mom's side of the family is kinda Polish) at Easter.
