>How about good old British black pudding - like wide sausages of congealed pigs' blood with other grisly bits in it? Absolutely delicious!

Other grisly bits? Only a few bits of bacon here and there, nothing else. Best fried with some eggs in a pan, or as a sausage, stuffed into the wider intestines of the late pig, and then boiled. May even be smoked later. And it's pronounced "krvavica" (krv=blood, r as a vowel, and our c is pronounced as zz in pizza).

Also the "white sausage" aka Leberwurst, which is mostly liver, but also any other meat that comes off the bones when thoroughly boiled - including the skin - off the head, spine etc. Stuffed into the same intestines, with a lot of ground pepper and minced garlic.

Here we go again, but today it's my lunchtime already :).
