Another food that I never tried is blood sausage. Blood sausage is popular in Asian countries and some parts of Europe. The one I specifically bought is inherited by Tibetan cuisine and it is called gyurma. Gyurma is made out of beef,spices onions and yak’s blood. It had a really dark almost jet black color to it. This color is made from the yak’s blood. Unfortunately, I found this to be appalling and a disappointment to my expectations. As I ran my fork through a piece, the filling crumbled apart. It had the consistency of dog food with the thick casing still intact. The taste was not terrible but it was not the best. I didn’t get any spices as I imagined. All I tasted was an oniony flavor from the scallions that were part of the filling.On the side, there was an orange sauce that tasted like watered down tomato sauce. Instead of making the sausage better, it possibly made it less appetizing. I could not get myself to eat it. The texture threw me off. Interesting but not for me!
Wow, ox blood! Where did you try it?
The place is called Spicy Tibet and it is located in Jackson Heights,Queens. Very close to the Roosevelt Ave Subway Station!
