TIP OF THE DAY
I'm no vegetarian, but seriously when sending someone home with leftovers, consider investing in a few pieces of Gladware. I don't want to sell anyone out, but I can barely look at this container without dry heaving let alone think about sampling the contents. Maybe pork blood isn't an ingredient in the recipe, but the fact that the container is even in the same kitchen frankly scares me. This is the primary reason I don't care for potlucks and won't accept food prepared from a kitchen I haven't personally inspected for rogue animal fluids.
Oh, dear God. There's nothing more I can say.

Well, while I share your overall disgust; I had a little Filipino girl work for me at the bank and she used to bring in her coagulated pork blood and rice dish for lunch and actually eat it in front of me...horrid to look at but very normal and popular in their culture. I would counter by eating smoked oysters...
Filipino Dinuguan or Pork Blood Stew - in the UK...they love their "Black Pudding" - and those German's with their "blood sausage"...No thanks, none for me...

What the hell is really in that container? It looks like something that was pulled out of the bathtub drain mixed with the contents of my vacuum bag.

I just barfed all over my laptop. Thank you, Pork Blood.
PS What the hell do you make with that anyway? Just curious.

The only thing that I know that pork blood is used for is blood sausage, which always seemed, to me, the worst of the worst (and I've only been a vegetarian for a year). I remember eating "a
littlelot of everything" on a breakfast buffet in Germany. I couldn't read anything that was there - the "dark sausage" just tasted nasty to me.Does your friend perhaps raise & train vampires?

LOL Bethany...it does, doesn't it!

It is unacceptable to buy pork's blood unless you own a vampire.

Oh dear, but more importantly, why is there a container and label for the blood?

That is absolutely disgusting! I am offended that "Yosemite" would be written on it anywhere. Yosemite is a beautiful place and should not be associated with packaged pork blood.
Do you think that would be good with eggs?

Please tell me that's the kind of stuff you spread around on the lawn to keep deer off your rose bushes or something. Or, in your case, moles.
GROSS.

Wow, i don't know where a person could even find something like that around here, in the sticks. Wow.
I remember the first time I saw chitlins for sale in a grocery in Nashville. Eye opening.
I'm so with you on eating food other people have prepared, even if they don't have containers of pork blood and chitlins hanging around. People are just G-R-O-S-S and they get grosser as the years go by. That's why I promptly throw any baked goods from students DIRECTLY into the trash. After they leave, of course. And then I cover it with make believe trash lest they come back and see their plates of e.coli in the trash, unopened.
