My 2yr old daughter absolutely loves to eat the cooked/boiled chicken and pig blood that many restaurants sell, is it safe? Obviously it contains a lot of iron and her stools are black after she has eaten it but apart from black poo is there anything else I should be worried about?

She only has it once a week or so, not as though she has it every day.

Thanks

The coagulated blood pudding here is so common and normal that you shouldn't be alarmed. Because it goes through the same storage/preparation as any other meat that the street vendor has. In all likelihood, the blood and the meat in the dish came from the same butcher, and probably from the same animal. No reason to think it's bad unless the meat is questionable too.

Also I did not know that iron turns your stool black. That's kinda cool. Hehe

Sure is cool, thankfully she isn't a guiness drinker too! Only thing I came up with earlier that worried me was haemochromatosis which happens when people have too much iron in their body but I doubt the amount she eats would cause that.
