New Country = New Food

Within my first week as an exchange student I’d eaten congealed blood.

From my diary – “Ate blood for breakfast – it was ok, until I found out what it was! I made a silent promise to avoid it in the future!”

It’s a jelly-like consistency... a purple-brown colour...The texture is soft and squishy – a little like tofu.

Apparently, it is full of goodness, but the churning of my stomach at the thought of eating it prevented me from absorbing any more of the “goodness”. Mai aroy!

I've had blood jelly and didn't mind it -- but the texture of german blood sausage makes me gag!
