What are the best recipes involving pork blood?

So today, spur of the moment, I purchased 10 or so ounces of pig's blood, because there's no way I could ever find something that exotic anywhere else, besides it was sort of neat. And it was really cheap.





Everyone I know is completely disgusted, but I actually seriously want to try it. I don't know quite what to do with it though.





Anyone ever try a recipe with pork's blood in it?





I know of black pudding (blood sausage), dinuguan (blood stew), blood ';tofu';, even blood cake and blood pancakes, but I've never tried them before.





All the comments of the internet I've heard were pretty positive, thinking it was pretty good (mostly for black pudding).








What do you recommend? What else can pork's blood be used in? Did you like any food items with pork's blood in it? Thanks.What are the best recipes involving pork blood?

2 parts blood (pig, turkey, goose)


1 part cream of full - cream milk


Handful of bread crumbs or oatmeal


Pepper


Pinch of mace


Sprig of tansy or thyme





Keep blood well salted to keep it liquid. Mix 2 parts with 1 part cream, mixed together with bread crumbs, pepper, mace and tansy. As tansy is a difficult herb to find today, thyme is often used. When made at home and sausage casing are not available the mixture is poured into bowls and either steamed or cooked in another pan of water in a moderate oven (300 degrees electric; gas regulo 3) for about 1 hour. It can be eaten warm or left to get cold. Then it is sliced and either fried or grilled, for breakfast or supper, often with bacon, eggs, and sausages.
