Blutwurst

There are many ghastly gastronomical horrors I have seen. Chinese death eggs and pig's feet are just a couple of the bizarre culinary horse of the apocalypse.

But I expected those to be horrific. Blutwurst actually sounded... intriguing.

But intriguing it wasn't. Blood tastes, somewhat predictably, of iron. But somehow the real thing tastes far worse than iron-enriched multivitamins.

But worse yet, it somehow feels... wrong. The feel of it in your mouth isn't that of food, it's something else. As if you've put something in your mouth altogether unlike fresh blood from a cut, and rather something spawned deep inside hades, come to the surface to poison you.

Either way, even the adventurous among you might not want to go down this path.
