Despite all the tales of bloody woe...
There is one reason why (pig's) blood is good.

BLACK PUDDING.

Sliced and fried for in an English breakfast, there is nothing better. Unless you use a whole one as some kind of gory marital aid, that is...

objection
As a geordie, black pudding should be 'in my blood' as it were. (So should football, I suppose)

It's fucking horrid - I love meat based foods of most description, but abatoire mop-bucket delight is well and truly off my menu.

I'll admit, black pudding is an acquired taste
But one worth acquiring. It is the highlight of any English Breakfast worth its salt and quite frankly any English Breakfast without it is not worth considering.

Similar culinary delight: boudin noir, anyone? It's the French interpretation of the same thing (blood, fat and spices). Surprisingly different, but I like it.
