Today, I'm featuring a photo from the blog, The Ravenous Couple, by Hong and Kim. As I've mentioned before, my best friend is Vietnamese and her mom spoils me with tasty meals every time I got to visit her. When I move from Virginia to Nebraska in January, one of the many things I'm going to miss is Kathy's mom's cooking. Luckily, there is a large Vietnamese population in Lincoln, NE, but I'm still going to have to learn a little more about doing it myself.
Luckily, I found The Ravenous Couple to help me. Not only do they have a recipe for my second favorite Vietnamese dish, Xoi Bap Sticky Rice, they also have really impressive photography. The photo of theirs that I picked was from a post on "Vietnamese Blood Sausage." I picked it because there are several times that with certain foods, I just am unable to figure out how to photograph them and make them look appetizing. For my stuffing post, one of the pictures I took was of raw sausage meat and it took a while to make it not look like gross raw meat. In Hong and Kim's post, they took something I imagine would be hard to photograph and made it look tasty and sheik. I've had Korean blood sausage and rather liked it, so I may have to give this version a try sometime, too.
I love European Blood sausage! In Germany they have it both hard and soft. I LOVE hard blood sausage. (That sounds like such an inappropriate thing to say)...its the consistency of hard salami. SUPER GOOD. And this is a lovely photo.
