Blood and Milk Mixtures.
Among the pastoralists (Maasai, Samburus of Kenya) a traditional milk and bovine blood mixed food has been in use for a long time. Four parts milk are mixed with one part of blood and allowed to ferment before consumption. Alternatively the coagulation may be obtained by heating (Shalo, 1987). It is not clear how important such products are today in the pastoral diets. Recently, Grandin (1987) reported that the Maasai no longer keep male animals long past maturity for bleeding; they now sell them to obtain cash to purchase household needs and production inputs.
Addition of urine to cheese-making
Although not a common practice, the addition of urine to cheese-making has been known to make a richer, more piquant cheese, highly sought after by those who've tasted it.
