FWIW, Russian kids are probably familiar with blood products. We have a treat called hematogen bar for people with anemia. It's made out of cow's blood and quite tasty, so non-anemic kids eat it anyways.
- simonpantzare 12y agoSame goes for Swedish kids. AFAIK blodpudding (~black pudding) is still served in many school kitchens.
- bni 12y agoBlodpudding tastes great with the traditional lingonberry jam. Though a large part of Swedes, both children and adults, refuse to eat blodpudding. Id say this food culture is hanging on by a bare thread, and will probably disappear in a few generations.
- wanda 12y agoI love hematogen. My partner always brings me some hematogen bars back when he comes back from Lithuania (I'm British). It's just the perfect snack. I'll probably end up with anemia if my body becomes accustomed to my bloody diet but oh well. I'm already dependent on caffeine and nicotine so one more thing won't make that much difference.
