Woke up with a soar throat, dry coughing and voice gone... Wtf... I started sucking on throat lozenges yesterday afternoon as I could feel it coming but was hoping it would be ok today 🤒

[clochette]

Apparently today is national senior citizens day so... Happy national senior citizens day to @Albert1434 @Headstall @dughlas (and Mom) and some would say it includes @spike382

To be more accurate, the main ingredient is pigs blood, if you fancy trying to make it here's the recipe;-

Recipe information

• Yield

  Makes about 3 pounds

Ingredients

4 cups fresh pig's blood

2 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 1/2 cups steel-cut (pinhead) oatmeal

2 cups finely diced pork fat (or beef suet), finely chopped

1 large yellow onion, finely chopped

1 cup milk

1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon ground allspice

Preparation

1. Step 1

   1 Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease 2 glass loaf pans. (If you don't have glass loaf pans, line metal loaf pans with parchment to keep the blood sausage from reacting with the metal and creating an off-flavor.) Stir 1 teaspoon of salt into the blood.

   Step 2

   2 Bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil and stir in the oats. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, until just tender, not mushy.

   Step 3

   3 Pour the blood through a fine sieve into a large bowl to remove any lumps. Stir in the fat, onion, milk, pepper, allspice and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Add the oatmeal and mix to combine. Divide the mixture between the loaf pans, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour, until firm. Cool completely. Seal in plastic wrap and wither freeze for extended use or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

   Step 4

   4 To serve, either cut a slice about 1/2-inch thick off the loaf. Fry in butter or oil until the edges are slightly crisped and browned. Or if you prefer, cut a slice and eat it straight from the fridge, there is no need to cook it.

Uhm, thanks, I guess. Mum talks about butchering a pig each autumn but blood pudding was not something they made.

Maybe Page would like the white pudding!

Maybe not Page but Max might. I think he's more adventurous and eclectic in his tastes.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your claim is illegitimate.
