Hi. I'm not far ahead of you.

Verjuice, IIRC, is a sour grape juice. I've seen mention that it can
substituted for by adding lemon juice to grape juice.
Cardoon I know not. Possibly an alternate spelling of cardamom?
As for the blood ... that's one of the advantages of killing your own
feast. The mutton I recently served held a special interest for me.
I met it on the hoof, in the field. I looked in its eyes and saw the
life I was about to take, which (unless you grew up on a farm) tends
to rattle you a bit. The sheep's owner and I killed, skinned and
butchered it. Except for the mercifully quick dispatching by .22, it
felt very period. It has a very satisfying "from scratch" appeal.
IMHO _far_ too many people never consider the origins of meat past the
styrofoam and plastic wrap. I'm ranting. I'll stop.
Anyway, killing beats yourself is a great way to get blood
(unavoidable, in fact). You could also visit your local
slaughterhouse.
