I just ate something 95% of you would NEVER eat...

[nvrbuffenuff_girl]

I bet 95% of you would never eat what I just ate if it was ever served to you, 95% of you have never eaten, and would never even dream of eating this. I bet a lot of you don't even know what it is, once I mention the name. If you have never heard of it when you find out what's in it you will have wished you didn't know.


But, it was delicious! I haven't had one in over 10 years.























































I just ate...















Morcillas. Typical Puerto Rican sausage of sorts.















































































In English it's Blood Pudding or Blood Sausage.
Noun 1. blood pudding - a black sausage containing pig's blood and other ingredients
black pudding, blood sausage

I've never had haggis. But I always thought it was not similar to morcillas. You don't know what you are missing. When I was a little girl I use to help my grandmother make blood sausages when we had pigs. They didn't waste a single part of the pig. The bladder was blown up using a papaya tree leaf stem and we, the kids, would toss it around. I even remember my uncle eating the brains. Everyone wanted the brains. I never ate brains though. Looked pretty sick.

Haggis is made with sheep intestines and it's excellent

Just two ounces of it has 9g of protein and almost 9g of fat. It was my cheat meal. I went to a grocery store near the ghetto today and found blood sausage made and packaged in Puerto Rico. We usually only find Ecuadorian blood sausage here and it's nasty. They make it with different ingridients.

Is it stuffed sheep intestines with sheep blood, rice, and other ingridients? Much like blood sausage in that case.

yummy, blood.

Looks like somebody died in that train wreck.

Traditionally, the haggis is made with a sheep's stomach as a casing. It is filled with oats, onions, spices and the other edible organs that are cooked first and then chopped up. These are called "pluck," -- things plucked from the sheep carcass -- and include the "lights," or lungs.
It fell out of favor during the mad cow days because you couldn't export beef from Britain.
