I sat down at dinner and there was a plate of something i have never seen before. When i asked what it was my host dad and brother said something I didn't understand, so I asked if it was animal. They both burst out laughing and were like, No no it's a vegetable. Ok I can do that so i picked up a piece and tried it. There wasn't much flavor and kind of a weird texture. It wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing. They were like, Do you like it? They seemed very intent on it so I was like, Yes, it's good. Then again they both started hysterically laughing. When they calmed down I asked them what was so funny. "You just ate pig's blood." Oh god. It turns out it wasn't a vegetable at all but rather a blood tortilla of some sort, not sure how to translate it into English. Then they told me to have another since I liked it so much. At this point we were all laughing, and I made it clear that now I don't think I like it so much. Haha. Although I can't believe I actually ate pig's blood and it really grosses me out thinking of it, I'm kind of glad they lied to me or else I never would have tried it, and I guess it is something they eat a lot of in this part of Spain. Just going along with the Spanish ways, but maybe only for one day with this one.
