Chinese people are told by some media in China that in foreign countries pig blood has been recommended as a good food (for example Sweden regards it as "liquid meat".). I'm not certain if it is real. Because a Chinese writer once said that blood was toxic. And I suspect that in United States people would cast out pig blood as foul water.

Your comment will be appreciated.

Never heard of that! :blink:

I do know that there are people who have a fetish for blood, even drinking it, just like vampires and yes, those people are in professional jargon called vampires, just that I wouldn't see anyone of THEM even to generally consider it mainstream 'food'.

And yes, if you don't have a desease-free source of blood, drinking it - the fresher and more pure it is - can be reaaally dangerous.

Practically any illness is carried in blood.

If one is in for trying it, I would suggest doing it with someone who you trust and KNOW is not ill etc...

I would, but seriously... I sure would not "buy" it somewhere and... OH GOOD LORD! :x

Addition: Okay, there IS some sorts of food where blood is contained and is actual part of it and even gives it the name.

For example German "Blutwurst" or black pudding, as Intrinsica has mentioned. But: Not to the extend that you actually buy it rare or stuff...

People drink raw blood a lot, when they have raw meats. Cooked meats and sausages have blood in them. Even kosher and halal meats will still have some blood left that people eat.

I drink my own blood. If I cut myself I may lick the blood away and I can't be bothered not to swallow it. I have never, to my knowledge, caught any disease from drinking my own blood.

Why do people drink other people's blood? Are you suggesting it is a sexual thing?

Over here it's mainly used in sausages in many European countries.

In Belgium and Holland we call it bloedworst ( free translation) bloodsausage. In Germany, Austria they call it Blutwurst, Boudin Noir in France, buttifara negra in Spain and sanguinaccio insaccato in Italy.

We use mainly pigs blood , mixed with same fats, bacon, spices and fillings like bread.

You won't catch a disease from drinking your own blood. For lack of a better description, you're working with a closed system, so either the disease is already present in your blood when you ingest it or your blood is disease-free.

Some people drink blood as a sexual fetish, others truly think that it provides them with some sort of bonus (better health, longer life etc.).

Some people are trying new ways to eat or drink...

Some deer hunters drink blood from deer these days.

Some people eat cat, snake, etc..

It is all over the internet about those animals and blood that people eat/drink. For example: chinese eat cat, hunters drink deer blood, and list goes on..

Even kosher and halal meats will still have some blood left that people eat.

A small clarification here.

I am not sure about kosher meat but halal meat is not supposed to have blood in it. One of the objectives of halal slaughtering is to get rid of the blood totally. I have had such meats for long.

Only careless or badly done halal meat will have blood in it. Even in this case the little blood that is still there is not intentional as in the foods described above where blood is an expected and valid component of the disk.

Black Pudding is quite common with a cooked breakfast fry-up. I had it once - I did not know what it was, we were staying at a guest house (I was quite young) and they asked me if I wanted Black Pudding, I said yes. My uncle kept saying that I wouldn't like it.

I ate it though - at least most of it, it is very rich. Only after was I told what it was, I didn't mind though!

I don't think I could eat it again knowingly! lol

Chicken: yes. Pig: simply no and disgusting... Do you know how many kinds of bacteria the pigs have ?

:blink:

Sal...mon...el...la?

Sorry, it just seemed a bit of an odd comment. Especially considering we're not talking about having the blood raw, it's something that needs cooking, so the harmful bacteria get destroyed.

Well, see below:

You won't catch a disease from drinking your own blood. For lack of a better description, you're working with a closed system, so either the disease is already present in your blood when you ingest it or your blood is disease-free.

Some people drink blood as a sexual fetish, others truly think that it provides them with some sort of bonus (better health, longer life etc.).

Exactly what I was thinking.

And yea, it is a sexual fetish, but it also can be a kind of "lifestyle" or habit separate from sexual desires.

Some people, as you have mentioned believe it to get them health bonus.

Others have a sexual liking for it.

One can find it disgusting, but I see nothing wrong in trying and maybe liking a partner's blood. (If all is okidoky of cause, same goes for unprotected sex though...)

Chicken: yes. Pig: simply no and disgusting... Do you know how many kinds of bacteria the pigs have ?

I truely hope that is not your practice!

Chicken ALWAYS needs to be done, pig and other animals it is not so important.

Chicken is the egg of meats! :D

I would only serve that to a vampire :x

Call me one, then! :D

j/k... I guess for me it's "just"? a fetish :whistle:

In food, I will kindly say no :p

What are you referring to exactly?

There's a lot of things currently mentioned :D

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      By WaltC · Posted

      (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
