Taking a break from the West Coast bloggin, here’s blood sausage from George’s Spanish & American restaurant in Bushwick near the Flushing JMZ stop. I kept seeing it at a lot of the Latino restaurants and counters down there and was curious. Only $1.50 for a half link (around three inches). Inspecting the innards of the casing, I see grounded dark blood-cooked meat mixed with rice. It was very rich, salty and quite difficult to describe. I suppose it’s what you’d expect if you’re imagining what blood sausage taste like. I only ate two bites before giving in. It would be more ingestible if mixed with a big bowl of fried rice …a big giant bowl with a ton of rice.

In my 40’s now moved away to NC 5 years ago. Is Georges still open?
been going there since I was in diapers. Got my wife hooked on it
and there is no place like it down here…
Yeah, George’s is still open. That’s cool. I didn’t realize it’s been around that long.
My mom would always take us here, and she is a picky eater.
So you know they always bring it.
Appreciate what your doing with the local restaurants.
Makes it easy planning my vacation.
Hit all the old food haunts.
