You can still have blood sausages in Europe and at some restaurants here.Originally posted by the Bear:was talking to a friend over dinner last night that we never see pig's blood anymore
The nyonyas would slice it, rub salt all over it, leave it to rest for about 20-30 mins, then rinse off the salt and voila! ... no more bitterness!Originally posted by the Bear:bittergourd..
what you need to do is to pour boiling water over the sliced up bittergourd and it'll cease to be bitter
it's nice to eat actually
