Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Some cultures consume blood as food, often in combination with meat. This may be in the form of blood sausage, as a thickener for sauces, a cured salted form for times of food scarcity, or in a blood soup. This is a product from domesticated animals, obtained at a place and time where the blood can run into a container and be swiftly consumed or processed. The Maasai of Tanzania consume the blood of cattle-which is let directly from the neck of the live animal and the wound allowed to heal-mixed with milk. In many cultures the animal is slaughtered. In some cultures, blood is a taboo food. Blood sausage, rice pudding or black pudding is any sausage made by cooking animal blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. Pig or cattle blood is most often used. Typical fillers include meat, fat, suet, bread, rice, barley and oatmeal. Varieties include drisheen, moronga, black pudding, blutwurst, blood tongue, kishka (kaszanka), biroldo, morcilla, mustamakkara, verivorst, and many types of boudin.
