Ras quotes me and replies:
<<<< In Forme of Cury I found a pie called "malaches" that had pig's
blood as its initial ingredient. I felt that my guests would not appreciate
this >>
What caused you to feel this way?

For me, blood is one of the 'good' foods;
a rarely appreciated ingredient that can , when used appropriately, make the
difference between blech! and Yummm!. :-)
Oftentimes we as cooks put our own food preferences on the foreburner and ,
being human, we tend to credit everyone with the same aversions. Even I have
been guilty of this on an occasion or two.>>
Good observations and thoughts on the use of blood. Thanks! I will certainly
reconsider my feelings towards this ingredient. My reluctance to use blood
must be social or cultural conditioning, since I personally LOVE liver, which
is mostly blood anyway. (However, many of my friends and family DESPISE
liver!)
