If you think these blood recipes are nasty, empty all food you have and don’t eat anything for 3-4 days. Then go to the store and get some blood food or ingredients and eat a blood dish. You’ll understand then very quickly why these became a thing nearly everywhere around the world. Hunger is the ultimate spice.
So if I think they’re nasty, I’m wrong because I’m not starving enough? Not a great counterpoint. They’re still nasty in that scenario, just a helpful nasty.
Aaaaaand that’s how you know someone who has never starved before. Truly starved. The stomach has it’s own opinion when left empty long enough.
It’s good though, that you never had. I’ve been through a lot, but the trauma of starvation is a permanent one. It’s best you don’t ever see the perspective of why people made food from blood.
My point is that if you have to be starving to enjoy eating something, then its default descriptor is probably much closer to “nasty” than “delicious”
I absolutely concede the point that everything nutritious will taste good if you’re starved, and I’m glad to have never needed to rely on nasty tasting food to stay alive. I’m very lucky, no need to be adversarial about it

Not every disagreement is worth arguing about
Pretty much no comment in this entire thread is “worth” posting, including yours. What did you add to the discussion by saying that?
that explains tripe…and how hungry were early settlers to eat crayfish, they look like bugs.
crayfish IS bugs
So is Shrimps and both is tasty
I really enjoy baked or fried crickets.

German “Black-Sour” traditional north eastern dish doesn’t taste half bad…
and if you butcher an animal… you have blood available… why not eat it instead of wasting it.
also… black pudding/blood sausages and stuff are amazing
