It is eel, pork blood and cow tripe with sprouts, slices of spam and seaweed in a spicy sauce.  Pork blood cakes are a big thing with Chinese Families she was saying.. The pork blood is good for the stomach apparently, it flushes your stomach. She said, every family has pork blood at least once a month.  It may sound strange but, this was honestly a fantastic dish.  Eel is awesome, tripe is awesome, pork blood cakes are  awesome.. It was literally loaded with peppercorns.. She told me not to eat the Spam.. I listened.. She said this was a traditional dish, you can have any sort of ingredient added as long as your have the tripe, eel and blood cakes. You could not avoid eating 3 or 4 peppercorns per bite. You could avoid the dried chiles but, not the peppercorns. 
 
With in 5 minutes, I had ordered a 22 ounce of Beer and we went to work.  The two of us finished the bowl

i always wonder about dishes like this one: are you supposed to pick the fish/meat/whatever out of the sauce (which is often unfeasibly oily) or do you ladle everything over rice and eat it? as a good indian, my instinct is always towards the latter but it doesn't seem like anyone's arteries would be able to sustain that on a daily basis.

it's because it was an early sign that pop music had stopped.
