November 16th, 2013 Part Two

What happened next on our trip to Krakow was probably one of the more awful moments of my life, not that I would know it at the time.  We decided to go to one of the restaurants that was recommended to us by our tour guide.  The restaurant was adorable and we were hoping for good things.  My friend ordered a hunters stew which was basically roast beef stew, that was very thick in a bread bowl.  Besides being a little salty, it wasn't too bad.

 I, on the other hand, ordered this:

Now it doesn't look too bad and I was hopeful, but the sausage looked a little off to me.  Looking in the menu I had wanted some meat and I though, oh polish sausage would be a good choice and on the menu they had blood sausage.  In my mind this meant sausage that was going to be a dark red color but be like a kielbasa, oh how wrong I was.  When I cut into I knew something was off but I figured just roll with it, I'm sure it'll be fine.  At first it had a weird crunchiness to it and then...I just don't really know.  It was like a mush that in some ways, melted in your mouth.  I was not a fan to say the least so I ate the egg on top and then just ordered dessert.  When I got home later that night I looked up what blood sausage was and needless to say I was horrified and felt a little sick to my stomach.  For those of you who do not know what it is, let me offer you up this wikipedia article that explains all.

After eating that oh so delicious meal, my friend and I decided to head back up to the castle and go inside the church.  Sadly, the church was a big no, no picture zone so I have nothing to show.  But! We did get to climb up the bell tower of the church, were there were no guards, so, pictures were taken.  After we were done at the church we went to dinner and ate a polish classic of perogies and then went and got some desserts at a local bakery.  A solid end to an interesting day.
