Story & history
Blood Sausage at the Pastoral Table
In Xilingol, sheep-blood sausage is a home-style food associated with preparing a sheep for the table. Sheep blood is filled into small intestine and boiled until set. The plain preparation needs little seasoning and has a tender filling. It is blood sausage, not a sausage of minced meat; ask about any added seasonings before ordering.
