Blodpudding
Blodpudding is one of the traditional Swedish dishes made with animal blood. It is typically prepared with pork blood mixed with flour, beer or svagdricka, butter and spices and then baked in the oven. After it is prepared, it is thinly sliced and fried with a little butter or oil until the surface is slightly crispy.
Traditional way of serving is red blueberry jam, crispy bacon. A variation of this dish is blodkorv (blood sausage), to which lard, raisins and spices are added, along with the usual ingredients. As intriguing as this dish may sound to a foreigner, blodpudding is a very popular and common food for lunch or dinner in most Swedish families.
In fact, the Swedes did not abandon their habit of eating foods made with animal blood, as they found this substance very nutritious and healthy. Children are often served at school with potato cake (potatisbullar) and blueberries.
