I met up with my best friend Shaun over the weekend. Got picked up - went over to his place and he offered some food that was in the kitchen. Now before I continue, I just want to say that I'm pretty much considered as their adopted son in his family...
So I'm going through his fridge scoping out something and he changes my attention from the fridge to the table. I look over and there are 2 food containers. The one had samosa's and these mildly spiced/lighly battered potatoes - which were yummy.
The second container had something that looked really interesting. There were about 10 pieces of rice wrapped with something, lets call the wrapping 'seaweed'(sushi reference), so these rolls were bite size like sushi rolls, but were deep dark red in colour.
I ask Shaun, 'Whats that?'
He said,'Pudding.'
'Pudding?'
'Yea, actually its called Guyanese Black Pudding'
'Oh, is it tasty?'
'Ah...yea, try one'
Now I should have had my doubts when he said that - but I thought 'Hey its a kind of pudding, must be sweet.' And I love food, and I'm willing to try new things.
I pop one in my mouth, and not only was is NOT sweet, but it had a horrid taste to it and it was so rubbery...but out of respect I kept chewing it and as some of it was going down my throat, Shaun explains to me what Guyanese Black Pudding is...
Its rice that has been mixed with herbs, cinnamon, grated coconut, which btw you do not taste at all because it is also soaked in 1 pint of cows blood!
Shaun was laughing while I spat out the yummy black pudding.
Never again.

Cow's blood?! Ah! Holey cow (no pun intended)...but that's gross. Before you said the "cow's blood" I thought it sounded pretty good.
My family/relatives likes eating congealed pig's blood... disgusting. I never eat that crap...it's disgusting (although the taste and texture is just like tofu).
Yeah, before I had Vegemite, I thought it was sweet too.. and when I put it in my mouth I nearly barfed because it was so salty.
i have been in that situation too :)
A buddy made some sort of citrus-y pie and convinced me to try a bite, and in support of her newfound passion for baking, i did.
what.a.mistake.
that thing tasted like what i imagine toilet cleaner would taste like!
