I missed the joke.

Do you believe vampires are true ?? how absurd that sounds.

Your statement is absurd, Herjihad. Eating blood sausages which are called black pudding in Ireland, Has nothing to do with vampires eating habits, where on earth did you get that from ?? Do you know anything about blood sausages/black puddings ? It's actually cooked not raw!

but it is okay to have the blood that goes along with the meat as long as we drain it, and aren't trying to drink it.

Who said anything about drinking ??

herjihad, for an intelligent person you sound naive here  no offence meant.

Blood is meant to come out while cooking it, its basically draining the meat, to get pass this, keep cooking and it will go away, the longer you cook it the more drained the blood is. But you'll end up making the meat dry, although boiling should keep its moisture.

And besides the blood is where the iron is that you need  its not exactly in the muscle/flesh you eat, so if you drain all or keep cooking the meat right thru until it is dry and no signs of blood, you don't get the iron and all the nutrients.

This is called: very well done, in resturant terms

As for chicken it is wise to cook right thru until all the blood has cooked away, although it too will become dry but do what KFC does, steam it or boil it first to retrain the moisture.
