I have visited several grocery stores operated by Taiwanese folks recently. (on the US East Coast)
It seems like none of them carry pork-blood rice cakes from Taiwan anymore. It seem like the
US no longer allows it to be imporeted from Taiwan… (what???)
I used to buy it from this grocery store in NYC Chinatown… guess I’ll have to ask someone
to “smuggle” it from Taiwan? 
pork-BLOOD…I believe that the latter word makes it illegal.
You can make it yourself and maybe start a business … go buy pork blood at the local abattoir … boil some rice … spice your blood and mix the rice inside … let the mixture turn in a bakery mixer on low speed … the blood will coagulate, when done put out in a mold, cut and steam …
I had all the dried meat I tried bringing in from SA to Taiwan shredded in front of my eyes…
no plants or meat allowed…
In Taiwan’s eyes, SA is dodgy…and in the eyes of USA, blood coming from Taiwan is dodgy.
Is this thread a joke? It should be beyond obvious why pork-blood rice cakes from Taiwan wouldn’t be allowed in the U.S. Congealed pork blood. Yech. That shit is GROSS and DODGY. I wouldn’t touch the crap they dole out at the night markets with a ten-foot pole. Pork in general is one of the most dangerous meats for humans to consume, easy to get disease from if not cooked properly, and I imagine that pork blood must be handled with even greater care.
Duck’s blood, on the other hand, is awesome.
Pig blood-pudding sausage in Belgium is awesome …
Ractopamine?
Just what white bread lower-middle-class trailer park 6-pack’s gonna buy this crap ??? :loco:
Marketing/distribution nightmare
marketing does wonders. the cocktail of bovine lactations, steroids and infection pus sells quite well stateside. the curent ad campaign is that dairy helps you lose weight.
with marketing, anything is possible.
we used to eat blood pudding in scotland. tasted like sausage to me.
sausage…now ther’s a tasty, healthy treat.
Pork Blood cakes? Come on. Why would any red blooded yank eat pork blood when they can get some good chittlin’s?
and scrapple, and grits fried in bacon with syrup, and real buttermilk (rancid putrified lactation :moo: squeezins MOMMA !) bisquits with gravy (YUMM) made from scratch…with greens on the side and pecan pie for dessert with real ice cream and whipped cream on top :discodance:
oh yeeah

it’s spelled
chitterlings
