drinking blood

Question
Do you recommend drinking the blood of animals? Are there extra benefits that
the blood can offer along eating the organs?

Answer
I do sometimes get the opportunity to drink the blood from the wild-hare carcasses I buy. This is because they come in vacuum-packed plastic bags, thus allowing the blood to collect. I have to admit I seemed to thrive on the stuff, though blood from other non-wild sources didn't seem as rich in nutrients.

I would guess that blood is likely a useful source of nutrition, being full of iron etc. - after all, the Maasai used to drink it regularly as part of their diet, but it's unlikely that many RAFers have the opportunity to get hold of sufficient quantities of fresh, good-quality blood to make it a significant portion of of their diets.
