I've seen Vietnamese people eating blood jelly made from blood of ducks, crocodiles and snakes etc.

What do you guys think about this practice? I think it's very unsanitary and could be prone to diseases. In another word, it's DISGUSTING.

personally, I find the smell of blood (especially human) to be very alluring
As for blood jelly, I've never had it

If you happen to hate garlic then there's a 99% chance that you're a vampire. Muahaha

Blood jelly eh! well i know my dad likes to eat some raw meats with tortilla chips an some greens with peanuts on em and real blood and i was like Dude. come on dude. but jelly hmm i believe, now i may be wrong, but this jelly see, i believe jelly is the perfect medium for cultivating bacteria and other microbial lifeforms although the kind scientists use is agar jelly which actually has some nutritional benefit to the little critters but as to your blood jelly thing. well, i will never ever try it unless someone swapped my cherry jell-o with the stuff. p.s. do snakes really have blood in them?

I love it. Yum. *i'm serious*

I haven't gotten sick from it yet, never heard of too many people getting sick from it either, and if it can get you sick i'm pretty sure the government of Canada would've said something about it already.

It's good depending on how you cook it, and it better be fricken fully cooked. Just thinking of it being half cooked gives me shivers.

i never heard of it befor

yum yum!!!

I had it...I think in rice soup. It tastes odd..so I am not used to it.

lol
nope, I like garlic so I guess I'm not a vampire

As long as it's fully cooked then it's okay. I don't like anything raw.

all i have to say is ....good $hit.

They usually eat it raw. I just hope people gets food poisoning for eating this $hit so they stop practising this barbaric tradition.

Maybe we're talking about different things here...

Raw, that's sick...

huh? that stuff is tasty man. i had pig blood jelly when i was little. i thought it was damn good.

Oh man what if the blood had AIDS or something and it wasn't cooked right? I know you can't get AIDS by eating it but would you eat blood that was AIDS infested? Or maybe you might have a sore or a cut in your mouth that you aren't aware of and the AIDS might enter through there when you are eating it.

hahahahahaaa... i eat it if they cook it right... i think AIDS virus dies after leaving the animals body for an extend period of time.

Do pigs, crocodiles and snakes have AIDS?

My friend told me once that AIDS came to this world because someone in Africa did it with a monkey. I don't think it's true though.

that's certainly been suggested... no one really knows how this virus came about. but i was just talking to my med-school friends and they were saying that the drugs are so good nowadays that the virus will most like be controlled with a cocktail.

btw. nothing a good beer couldn't cure.

Not neccessarily AIDS. A lethal disease will do. That'll teach them a lesson not to eat $hits like that

Crocodile tastes like chicken.

people eat it all the time. no known cases of that EVER to my knowledge.

com'on man. if that $hit is bad for you then why is it such a popular dish?　its all good bro... let them die happy.... die full.

They way they extracted it is kinda barbaric and cruel. I saw tapes of how they'd take blood from crocodiles and dogs. They bloody poke a metal spike into the dog and the blood runs out into a bowl. Slow death if you ask me.

people do crazy things when they are hungry.

It's more like a delicacy. Hungry people don't eat blood jelly.

man, i'd hate to let this pig jelly talk go to another page. but let's focus on more important subjects on this fourm.

I love blood jelly.

No dogs/cats/snakes/crocadiles though. Just cows and pigs.

how does blood jelly taste?
is it sweet? salty? bitter?

Just because u dont eat u shouldnt be wishing ppl to get food poisoning and stuff like that... I dont eat it and i dont mind others doing it but to create a topic about it and saying u wish ppl that does eat it get food poisoning... tsk tsk

yea man y u got to be like that

blek - there are many things to eat in viet cuisine, dont do this stuff folks its nasty

go eat some exotic viet fruits!

What are you guys talkin' about - tiết canh ??

Ngon lắm đấy ! {phải không chị Mini }

The cook ones (pig) doesn't taste anything special. But tiết canh I have no idea, never had it and never will.

I've never ate them before

wow! blood jellow>?

Really, it's not that much different from blood pudding. Although this may sound strange to us today, "blood pudding" was a common dish during the earlier part of this century in many countries, even America. That's because when a hog was slaughtered, nothing went to waste.

I'll try it
