Blood is culinarily almost equivalent to eggs (as in, you can substitute blood for eggs in practically any recipe, and get a similar result, except, I suppose, for the taste).
You can make meringue with blood instead of egg whites.

"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"
Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

always felt like vampire media neglects this a lot. There should be some real kickass vampire culinary science going on, but it's always just blood chalices. where's the blood key lime pie?!
βThe Vampire's Cookbookβ
Someone should write that, sounds like a potential best seller.
I would imagine itβs like water to them.
Do you get tired of the taste of water when thirsty?
I would not suggest a visit to the USA
Just generally or related to this topic?
Coz I'm taking it as "both" and may their tourism industry adapt.
Yup, I don't drink soda and many functions/events don't have water. It's all alcohol or soda. It's as if they think noone drinks water.
Water? Like from the toilet?
These functions don't have water to mix with the alcohol?
If they have a bar they'll have water. The cases I'm talking about is just beer/wine/soda situation.
Edit: Mostly just a container with ice and drinks. And I guess they didn't think water deserves a place.
Also in places that don't include alcohol it's just soda and coffee and again no water
An all liquid diet would lead to some absolutely terrible vampire shits and farts.
Black pudding?
Freeze it.
Blutwurst, sangre frita, BlodplΓ€ttar... Scabs?
Scabs
Proof that vampires are pro-union. β
Or anti union only for the snacks.
Black pudding to the rescue!
that's what coagulation is for
clots are just blood gummies
Blummies
Vampires can't eat food when they feel like it?
there's documentary evidence that human food causes violent vomiting in vampires! (what we do in the shadows)
i'm a vampire and i can eat food.
I retract the question.
Bones I guess?
Meh, ~~living~~ being undead forever is not for everyone.
Armadillo!
Most creatures don't have much variety in their diet, I think!
Humans can survive and thrive on meat alone, if you eat every part of the animal. But I wouldn't recommend it if the animals are raised in factory farms.
Or if you're a vegan, potatoes and oats also got you covered for everything except Vitamin B12. Which you used to get from the soil the plants grew in, before factory farming sterilized it. Or from meat, before they started to feed only corn to cattle.
Nowadays (in American supermarket food) the only source for B12 is artificially produced supplements. Either taken by you directly, or fed to cattle as an extra step.
Maybe you cant digest it but that doesnβt mean your taste buds no longer work.
Just gotta get used to spitting it out after chewing.
What i will really miss is garlic though, i absolutely love the stuff the smell is heaven to me.
