Forking Foreigner: Blood Sausage

Posted on May 12, 2010 by Jennifer

Blood sausage—there, I said it. That is as gruesome as this post will get. But I wanted to put it out there, blood sausage. It’s not something I grew up thinking about, certainly not eating. In my small town in the middle … Continue reading →
