A Half-Vampire Thanksgiving Recipe

In All in the Half-Vampire Family, Eric discovers a new food he likes very much: black pudding.  (You can see it in the above photo; it looks like round beef jerky.) Of course, the reason he likes black pudding so much is that it's made with blood, sheep's blood, to be specific.  (In case you're wondering, yes, I've eaten the stuff before.  Several times actually.  It's okay, but I'll take haggis over black pudding anytime.)
So, in keeping with the Thanksgiving tradition of eat-all-you-can, I tried to find a recipe to share with you -- off a website presumably catering to *ahem* vampires, as it begins with this odd line, "Ever had that awkward moment trying to explain why you want two or three cups of blood from a butcher?"  (Okaaaay, then. Moving right along....)   However, this site only catered to Irish vampires (perhaps Patrick would like it) and insisted on using pig's blood.  So I found this recipe to share instead:

Scottish Black Pudding 1 pound suet, finely chopped 1 pound oatmeal 2 onions fresh sheep's blood (may be watered down) salt and pepper to taste Mix dry ingredients in a bowl with fresh sheep's blood. Stuff mixture into casing, tie well. Place in large pan, cover with boiling water, boil gently for 3 hours. Remove black puddings, allow to cool. Cut into slices as required, fry in hot fat. NOTES : Called 'Marag' (Blood Pudding) in Gaelic (it also means a fat, shapeless person!), this is one of the famous blood dishes that Scottish people love. It usually accompanies other fried dishes, such as bacon and eggs. While it might seem shocking to eat blood, don't forget that all meat dish contain blood and it's the basis, with fat, of gravy. Blood dishes are popular all over Europe, especially in Transylvania. If serving to children, experience shows that the ingredients are best left undiscussed at the table. Black puddings and mealie puddings are usually stuffed in larger sausage casings of the size used for garlic and other specialty sausages.

Happy Thanksgiving -- vampire style!d that awkward moment of trying to explain why you are asking for a few cups of blood from a butcher?
