Not for nothin’, **Sue** , but I think this is _much_ more gross than accidently ingesting rotting cow carcass.

Ewww.

Oh, how succulent, and delicious,  
undulating in death’s dissension.

Sounding better every second,  
with the beating of my heart.

To think I will search the byways tonight,  
and perchance come upon such a delight.

To taste that aged and tender morsel,  
would be so glorious for a feast.

A feast to end all hope of ever finding,  
a meal to surpass this gluttonous repast.

A feast in memory of Lenore.  
Quote the raven “Never more!”.

Actually a spoof of Poe.

Oddly, I was tallented at producing Poe type poems in high school. Luckly I don’t hit the right mood to often anymore. He was after all pretty somber and morbid.

I do hope it was entertaining in it’s own sick twisted way though.

According to the BBC report about it yesterday, he’ll be fine. There was a guy who got it during the 1967 outbreak and he had no long term problems at all.

kferr is right. It’s roughly the equivalent of a mild flu. Nothing serious. But shit an exploded cow carcass shooting juice into your mouth? You’ve got an entire plot line for a bad Sci-Fi movie there.

**Eve** - you obviously ran into an untalented cook. Everyone knows you **fry** the blood pudding, not boil it, so the black bits get really black, and give a nice contrast to the white bits.

As with la nouvelle cuisine, it’s all in the presentation.

I guess using the word ‘sending’ instead of ‘spewing’ or ‘oozing’ makes this little story a bit more tasteful.

I wonder how this guy’s chances are gonna be with the ladies when his name gets out? If and when he gets another woman to kiss him, sex should be a cakewalk.

Guys and Gals,  
For the love of god, do not knock blood pudding until you have tried it! I got a table of people to eat black pudding last October. There wasnt one complaint.  
And “what passes for food over there”? Like  
“American Cuisine” exists or something.
