(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
simple:Blood sausage Blood sausage is a food product made by cooking down the blood of an animal with meat, fat or filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. Most often, it is pig or cattle blood that is used. Sheep and goat blood are used to a lesser extent while blood from poultry is used very seldom. A legend attributes the invention of blood sausage to an absinthe-induced bet between two drunken Bavarian butchers during the 14th century. In fact, there are ancient references to sausages made with blood, e.g. from Homer's Odyssey - "As when a man besides a great fire has filled a sausage with fat and blood and turns it this way and that and is very eager to get it quickly roasted. . .".In England blood sausage is called Black Pudding. The ingredients include pig's blood, suet, bread, barley and oatmeal.
The most common variant of German blutwurst is made from fatty pork meat, beef blood and filler such as barley. Though already cooked and "ready to eat" it is usally served warm.
Other varieties of blood sausage include boudin noir (France), boudin rouge (Creole and Cajun) and morcilla (Spain).
