Bean curd with pig blood is a kind of local food that mixes bean curd, pig blood with shop fat, adds flavorings and then fumigated by firewood. Right before or after the Spring Festival, Tujia people would like to cook some blood cake graciously as long as distinguished guests drop in. Blood cake not only maintains the faint scent of bean curd, but also the taste of pepper and preserved savor. One piece may lead you to endless after tastes. It’s also a great dish that goes with liquor.
