Q: Is blood sausage really made of blood? Where can I find some?
A: Yup. It's blood, all right. Pig's blood, to be exact. To some, the idea of eating coagulated blood of swine sounds revolting – after all, the trend these days is to eat for your blood type, not to down sausages of boar's A+. But blood sausage has been around a lot longer than our prissy eating habits. So next time you see a blood sausage, don't be grossed out. Think of it as the distant relative of the hot dog.
