From my father's side of the family, 100% Polish descent living in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, the soup was made at Easter time to celebrate. I wonder if the blood was a symbol for the blood of Christ also?? I don't know if the recipe was americanized but I believe that maybe only a little blood was added 1/2 cup or something and we all looked forward to the home made soup and home made noodles every year we visited my aunt. I am trying to collect Polish stories and recipes from my dad now since he is almost 89 and want to preserve this tradition. Very interesting thoughts coming from Europe!

It was offensive if giving the soup was suppped to be a sign of rejection, that meant a definite "no". It often led to fights and little wars. To Gina

I doubt they ate it. It was offensive if giving the soup was suppped to be a sign of rejection, that meant a definite “no”. It often led to fights and little wars.
