EVERYONE has already tried blood sausage, but without the casing, but yes

with the meat bits and the blood part. Please consider that most people have

been eating gravy all their lives. What is gravy made of? Oh " juices? "

Really? Well, what exactly are those juices made from?

really evil ceep made me write this (grin)

Ok, here's my awful blood sausage story --

When I was a kid, my grandmother made blood sausage in a 13 x 9 cake pan if she

didn't have any casings available, baked like a big flat meatloaf.

I was about 9 years old when I came into the kitchen, and saw what LOOKED like a

big, freshly-baked devil's food cake cooling on the counter. Evil little muncher

than I was, I grabbed a fork and nicked out a nice big bite from one corner --

imagine my surprise when I tasted it! ACK ACK ACK! Reminded me of liver, which I

hate. I couldn't get that taste out of my mouth for hours! Served me right, and

I never snitched cake again!

There's a little town called Beaverville, Illinois (no kidding!) that's about 20

miles south of my hometown, and has a largely French-Canadian population. They

have a festival every year dedicated to blood sausage (which they call Boudin,

nothing at all like Cajun boudin), that lasts for 3 days. My dad never misses a

chance to go down there and have his fill of boudin. Ack. ;P

I am just amazed that all of you people even know what blood sausage

is. I must be living under a rock, becasue I had never heard of it

before you all started talking about it!!

In Ireland they have something called black and white pudding.....they

serve it with breakfast. Well the black part is blood pudding.....have

NO idea what the white part is........didn't ask...didn't want to KNOW.

Gave it a try, figuring that if it hasn't killed the Irish off in all

these centuries then it wasn't going to kill me off. You know.......It

wasn't BAD! LOL But then I used the same rational in Japan and ate lots

that other Americans wouldn't go near. Hey, and it has served me

WELL.....cause I am still HERE!

I think it's very much a cultural thing, and if you don't grow up around a

certain culture, you wouldn't have heard of a particular food. I never heard

of Lutefisk until I moved here, where there is a large Norwegian community.

My hometown was settled by the French missionaries and fur traders who first

came to Illinois, and the French & Canadians who settled there tended to

make use of every single part of an animal they possibly could, so weird

foods like blood sausage and " head cheese " were developed. These were

practical folk who wasted nothing. (Probably so were the folks who came up

with Lutefisk, as a way of having their fish all year round, not just during

the season when they were abundant.)

Can't say how anyone in Scotland came up with haggis, but it's not all that

bad -- I'd take it over Lutefisk OR blood sausage any day! LOL!

I don't eat anything that smells funny or looks ugly. I grew up on a

farm...I don't eat head cheese, or " mountain oysters. " I don't like fish or

seafood, except for the occasional shrimp, and I'm not crazy about them,

either. When I was a kid, we ate lots of stuff I don't like now...Don't even

show me any frog legs, or snake or alligator. My brother tried to get me to

cook some rattlesnake for him once. He was on his own! That stuff smell

awful! My husband loves blackened alligator. Jac don't eat no rodents or

reptiles! My little brain could easily be convinced that all meat products

are bad. And this is an adult acquired aversion! I'll be okay as long as no

one convinces me that carrots scream when you rip them out of the ground...

Ok Jac, HOW about if I send you ALL the carrots and you just BITE their

heads off so you can't HEAR them scream? That is what I used to do with

my chocolate Easter Bunnys. Seemed to work pretty good then. HAHAHAHAHA

LOL I'm with you, Debbie! I can't do celery either. I think it

comes from my mother trying to convince me that carrots and celery

were just as good as a chocolate chip cookie when I was a kid. Yeah,

right!!! To this day, I won't touch the stuff because they're " diet "

foods.

Amen. I'm kinda iffy about meats. When I was a kid, my buddies were 2 cows

across the street. I visited daily & got a good licking. Then one day, I

only saw...... their heads. On the ground, where they didn't belong.

You can't do that to a 4 y/o kid w/o warning.

So, I go thru phases in which I cannot eat meat. It's never been at the top

of my list. Sometimes I forget. But in general, the meat is the LAST thing

on my plate I touch.

I love veggies. I went to a buffet yesterday and took a bunch of stuff that

I knew I liked (it's a restaurant at DisneyWorld that I'd been to before) -

a little roast beef, potatoes with dill & blue cheese, salad, & green beans

(cooked in butter & garlic). I had a bite each of roast beef, potatoes &

salad, then ate the green beans & decided that I didn't want to bother with

any of the other stuff and went and got more green beans. Once I tasted the

green beans, I didn't eat anything other than them. The waitress looked at

me funny, but I had already shown her my restaurant card so I'm sure she

figured that I was trying to eat healthy. Nope. Wasn't trying to eat

healthy, the meat just wasn't doing it for me, but the green beans were!

Oh yeah, I also had a piece of s/f brownie. If anyone ever eats in a

DisneyWorld restaurant, make sure to ask your server what sugar free

desserts they have (if you want dessert). All the restaurants have them and

the s/f brownies are out of this world! Not as good as the green beans at

Hollywood & Vine (a buffet restaurant in Disney/MGM Studios), but still

good.
