chicken and rice with blood

In her notes about the recent [Luna/Deana and Britta] visit to Portugal Britta Phillips mentions eating "chicken and rice with blood" - as a vegetarian this strikes me as truly abhorent, I mean it's bad enough people eating meat but wallowing so gratuitously in the animals death is a little galling! I expect its name was cool and romantic in Potuguese.

I always get a little disappointed when people I like expose their carnivorous ways - I remember hearing Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab) on the radio describing the most frightening things she eats...

It's my problem one day I'll learn to accept that not everyone is a socialist-vegetarian - then I can get a little more pleasure from the ones that are without being disappointed by the rest!
