duck blood

Duck blood is a traditional food in china. it started with a man in a province called Nanjing. The man slated a duck and tried to clean/catch the blood with a bowl. When he cleaned the bowl he dropped some vermicelli into the food bowl and without noticing cooked the stew  afterwards. Then he tried how it tasted, and he thought it is really delicious and a rich person heard about the exotic dish and hired him as a cook. even though I never tried it before I don’t think I can ever eat the blood of a living being. I think it also doesn’t look really good on the plate. It is not really aestetical pleasing. I still respect everyone who has the courage to try it and who knows maybe it is really good. people say it has a plane taste. I am not quit a fan of the texture from just looking at it. Since people eat it there must be a reason for that and I respect them. People eat it with soup which ads taste to the plane taste. it is interesting how people start to discover dishes.

  1. Nanjing is a city, not a province…or was it a province once that turned into a city?

    An interesting choice of food stuff. I have the same feeling as you when looking at it, but have summoned up the courage to try it. Just tastes exactly like you’d expect – like blood. If you’ve ever bitten your tongue…

    Interestingly, blood mixed with a few other choice ingredients and fried as a sort of patty forms part of the classic Full English Breakfast. You can look it up: Black Pudding 🙂

    You have a few uncharacteristic errors, especially spelling, and this somewhat lacks depth. Was it, by any chance, written in a hurry?
