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

Well, it's usually cow blood, but they are delicious. Just like blood sausage.

Scandinavian

Half of the countries listed are Finland and Estonia lol.

Fyi, blood can be used as a replacement for eggs in many recipes. I've even seen it used in savory macarons.

They are not typically made with reindeer blood, as is incorrectly stated on Wikipedia. The alleged source for this claim even says so:

While most recipes use pig or cow blood, any sanguine supply will do. The Sami people of northern Norway use reindeer.

TIL there are still egregious errors on Wikipedia. I guess it could be a case of updated source?

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.

We also have a few foods with blood in it in hungary. Most countries have them. Also fun bonus fact, because hungarian and finnish/estonian are related very distantly i understand their word for blood which is veri, for us its vér.

I'm calling Whipped reindeer blood as the name of my upcoming metal xmas album. You are not allowed to steal it.

In my culture we have a sausage made mostly with blood. Quite tasty.

If you're gonna eat animals, eat all the edible bits.

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.

great with people with iron deficiency

Morcela - aka Portugese Blood Sausage. Weird texture.. like sand and oil mixed together - before it's cooked.

Where's the spiderman pointing at himself meme about people from different cultures pointing out how gross each other's animal based food are?

I didn't really need to know anything in this thread.

Used to eat black quiche in France as a kid, eventually my parents asked, whats it made of...Chicken blood. Bloody delicious, no pun intended.

this used to be my favorite food as a kid. now i'm vegetarian.

Blood has about the same amount of protein as the same weight in eggs so it makes sense.

Blood sausage isn't uncommon. We eat it in Belgium, France, Germany,... Delicious.

If you decide on rating animals, eat all of them. All the animals and all the parts of the animals.

Looks a bit like red blood cell.

I've seen goose and duck blood soup but pancakes is new to me

Some folks eat an animals testicles also, humans are nasty. Get used to it.

Chinese also eat blood pudding (aka blood curd or blood tofu), can be made from any blood like pig, chicken, or goose. I find it to be disgusting, never had it before even when my parent asked me to tried it.

Then there's Filipino dinuguan, a pig's blood stew.

It's good idea to not think too hard about your food, as you eat it.

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?

This also happens in Spain. Are called "Filloas de sangre", i think they are typical from Galicia.

You don't?

Yeah and it tastes awful

Sheeps blood in some places

Huh, never heard of blodpannekake
