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

I've never heard of this in my life. And quite frankly, I have no plans on trying it. :x

What are you referring to exactly?

There's a lot of things currently mentioned :D

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
