EverydayCooked

Blood sausage is a traditional meat product made from cooked blood (typically pork or beef) combined with meat, fat, and various fillers such as grains or onions. This dark-colored sausage, known as black pudding in the UK and morcilla in Spain, is particularly rich in iron and protein. When cooked, it has a dense, crumbly texture and intense savory flavor, commonly served sliced and pan-fried as part of traditional breakfast dishes or regional specialties.
