  Whose blood, OP?

  I mean you can, but your cake won’t rise. You should go review a quiche recipe online with "no stars. Made exactly according to directions except substituted 65g of blood for each egg. Terrible recipe, was awful "

    Does quiche need to rise? Aren’t the egg whites in the filling and you only need them to set into a delicious binder for the cheese etc?

    source

    • RBWells@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      A quiche does rise a little, yes. But you are correct that it’s not like a souffle that has to really puff. Good quiche is so good.

      The cake comment and recipe review comment two different thoughts though.

      Come to think of it, I have seen blood broth soup on menu at some Vietnamese restaurants, so I guess it is used sometimes in foods.

  In what sort of recipes? I doubt you can whip blood into stiff peaks for merengue.

  source

  • Successful_Try543@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Yes, you can:

    If you beat the blood, it turns pink and becomes a stable foam - perfect for baking sponge cakes or meringues.

      You made me curious.

      As a connoisseur of Blood Sausage, or Blutwurst, or Blunz‘n, I am intrigued to taste this.

    You can, actually . They both contain similar protein compositions and both contain anticoagulant albumin.

      Oh no

    The amount of people who refuted your statement is… concerning and weird.

    You’d be wrong. You can whip up blood pancakes!

    • lemming@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      It says you still need eggs. Can you replace them and make it from blood, beer, flour and blood?

    While others have pointed out it definitely can it also contains lecithin so it can technically create emulsions like mayonnaise and hollandaise

    Eggs contain far more so I don’t know how well this would work but it should? It also contains albumin and globulins but in the white, which is traditionally not used for these. However they can further stabilize the emulsion. But blood also as fibrinogen which is part of what makes it gel when heated as part of coagulation and this would impact texture

    Essentially like:

    1 part blood 3-4 parts neutral oil Tsp vinegar or lemon juice Tsp Dijon Season to taste

    Prepare the same as mayo

    You could also boost lecithin content with additional lecithin from soy or sunflowers but that’s kind of against the spirit

    I personally am vegan but find the food science of this interesting. I think eating animals is cruel but at the same time I would be interested to know if this actually could work or if you ended up with blood vinaigrette.

      If you are really really curious, you can find a phlebotomist that is game and use your own blood. This is the most ethical way to get some cooking blood and it can be done. (For proof see article)

  What risks or other concerns come with eating blood instead of eggs?

  Besides sourcing, I guess.

    Too much iron in your diet isn’t great.

  Now that would make some seriously odd cakes and cookies…

  source

  • hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I mean, bright colors make things more cheerful, and red has more positive than negative symbolism attached to it. If you put a small amount of blood, you can have pink cookies, isn’t that lovely?

  It’s not that weird. Take black pudding for example

  Okay, but I won’t. I’ll eat crickets and mealworms first.

• usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Or instead there are also some good vegan eggs out there to give a try

  If you want something that cooks and bakes like eggs there’s stuff you can by like Just Egg

  For baking there’s a million things you can use that are pretty cheap. For instance, Aquafaba is the leftover water from cooking chickpeas or the water in the can if you buy it canned. Acts like egg whites and can be used as a binder for baking

    Ground flax seed and water is another easy one for baking: 1 tbsp (7g) ground flax seed to 2.5 tbsp (37 ml) water

  Substitute for what, protein?

    Milk is just filtered blood. And eggs are just chicken periods…

    source

    • piconaut@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Very insightful. On an unrelated note, I’m off to the store to get some vegetables.

      source
    • deranger@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Elaborate on “milk is just filtered blood”, because the breast is not a kidney. This doesn’t jive with what I’ve learned about physiology.

      Eggs aren’t chicken periods either, it’s not their endometrial lining.

    Eggs. I thought about changing the title to “You can substitute Eggs with blood” but that also sounded awkward.

    Then I realized I’m what’s awkward.

      “Substitute X for Y” meaning removing Y and adding X is super weird to me. I always have to use a conscious effort not to interpret that as removing X and adding Y.
