Blood sausage

[zenbooty]

...Fried up with some hashbrowns and eggs, make up one ass-whuppin meal :thumbup:.

The Brits and micks may call it black and white pudding, but I'll call a spade a spade. Best new food item I've discovered since moving from SF to NYC.

I think Koreans eat that stuff too. Soon deh.

Yuck.

I've always had it as black-and-white pudding ('cause I'm a Mick :D ) and it is nothing great to look at. I will agree it can be tasty. :lick:

yeah, one of those things that's fine so long as you don't think too hard about what it is and why it has that odd consistency... like rocky mountain oysters, tongue, chitlins... all taste fine, but only if you turn your thinker off for as long as they're in your mouth.

WTF?

they make blood sausage in Belgium in the winter. I have not tried it because no one in my family likes it and since my grandma in Belgium doesn't throw away any food I ain't eating a whole one myself if it ends up being nasty.

Head cheese would be another one.

Its basically some pig "parts" (sausage-making cuts, if you know what I mean) ground up with blood and various grains and spices, cased up like sausage, or sometimes cased in plastic. It has a moist, mealy consistency, but holds together well even when not in a natural casing if your careful with it. There's black and white varieties. I believe the white kind is made by first separating out the plasma from the blood and eliminating it. When it's cold (I don't think you can get it raw, they must cook it first so it will hold its shape) it smells a little like liverwurst. When its cooked, it's excellent.

Oh...I think Chinese people have something similar. We let pigs blood harden and eat that. I don't because I think it's nasty but they sell it in stores. It's like a dark brown/reddish chunk of tofu...it's just not made of soybeans.

WTF?
