As matter of
fact, hearing pig blood is uncomfortable and quite wired, and wondering
glutinous rice can mix with it then become a famous snack in Taiwan, moreover,
it’s one the top 10 most wired food in the world. Pig Blood Cake is famous with its
name, but popular with taste, instead, it wouldn’t feel wired after taste it,
and it might mark on your taste bud.
Pig Blood Cake is one
of traditional snacks in Taiwan. Track back to thirty to forty years ago,
it was an agriculture society, people raise pig, chicken and other domestic
animals in their own houses. Most records said pig was available to eat for
whole body include blood, so people considered not to waste it, they came up the
idea of use pig blood combine with rice, moisten with thick soy souse, then
spill peanut powder and coriander leaves. This particular taste circulates for
generation to generation.
In United
State, it’s illegal to import pig blood, only make in the state, but not many
people actually eat pig blood and they don’t know how to eat it with. Drink pig
blood sounds weird; make it in the soup is even weird; or make it like the
sauce might not appropriate. Whichever ways, pig blood is not an appropriate
ingredient in most people’s mind.
Not in Taiwan, the
other way around, Pig Blood Cake is a popular snack. What’s specialty is eat
with peanut powder and coriander leaves, both condiments are giving Pig Blood
Cake more flavor and get rid off the pig blood smelly.
Even though,
the pig blood smell is already vanish during the process, but peanut powder and
coriander leaves are indispensably, without these two condiments, it is not
call Pig Blood Cake.
