Blood is good, a bazillion mosquitos can’t all be wrong

Wait until you hear about flies from the farm.
Fyi, blood can be used as a replacement for eggs in many recipes. I’ve even seen it used in savory macarons.
In my culture we have a sausage made mostly with blood. Quite tasty.
We do as well in Norway. Exactly the same as the british black pudding/sausage.
Mine too. I’ve tried it, but didn’t like the texture much.
You can fry it and it tastes different.
It depends on what the butcher uses as a base.
If you think these blood recipes are nasty, empty all food you have and don’t eat anything for 3-4 days. Then go to the store and get some blood food or ingredients and eat a blood dish. You’ll understand then very quickly why these became a thing nearly everywhere around the world. Hunger is the ultimate spice.
So if I think they’re nasty, I’m wrong because I’m not starving enough? Not a great counterpoint. They’re still nasty in that scenario, just a helpful nasty.
Aaaaaand that’s how you know someone who has never starved before. Truly starved. The stomach has it’s own opinion when left empty long enough.
It’s good though, that you never had. I’ve been through a lot, but the trauma of starvation is a permanent one. It’s best you don’t ever see the perspective of why people made food from blood.
My point is that if you have to be starving to enjoy eating something, then its default descriptor is probably much closer to “nasty” than “delicious”
I absolutely concede the point that everything nutritious will taste good if you’re starved, and I’m glad to have never needed to rely on nasty tasting food to stay alive. I’m very lucky, no need to be adversarial about it

German “Black-Sour” traditional north eastern dish doesn’t taste half bad…
and if you butcher an animal… you have blood available… why not eat it instead of wasting it.
also… black pudding/blood sausages and stuff are amazing
that explains tripe…and how hungry were early settlers to eat crayfish, they look like bugs.
crayfish IS bugs
So is Shrimps and both is tasty
I really enjoy baked or fried crickets.
Get a grip.
I’m calling Whipped reindeer blood as the name of my upcoming metal xmas album. You are not allowed to steal it.
Blood has about the same amount of protein as the same weight in eggs so it makes sense.
It’s basically equivalent from a culinary standpoint. You can even make meringue with blood instead of egg whites.
I think you mean Egguivalent.
Then there’s Filipino dinuguan, a pig’s blood stew.
Polacks have Duck Blood Stew:
Friggen yummy!
And it’s fucking delicious.
you get used to the taste, its quite strong. Had it many times growing up
In Sweden it’s a common lazy dinner to fry up a couple of slices of factory made Blodpudding made of pigs blood and rye. Traditions of how it is eaten is regional but I’m used to it with lingonberry jam and grated carrots. It’s quite similar to British black pudding.
EWH grated carrots
Looks a bit like red blood cell.
So are the reindeer physically whipped for their blood, retaining the reindeer, or are they processed into a dairy substance and then mixed with their blood?
Some folks eat an animals testicles also, humans are nasty. Get used to it.
white kidneys
Le Grille? What the hell is that
rognons blancs
Rocky mountain oysters
People who eat chicken embryos probably shouldn’t be judgemental.
No.
So you think it’s a better idea just to chuck half the creature in the bin?
Unless you’re eating kosher, you’re eating blood when you eat meat, by the way.
Even when you’re eating kosher. Let’s not kid ourselves here, the whole “clean meat” thing in kosher and halal is total bullshit.
I’ve seen goose and duck blood soup but pancakes is new to me
