'Tiết canh' is a traditional dish in
Vietnamese cuisine. In the
north of the country, this pudding is eaten for breakfast, particularly by country people, as an alternative to the soup known as ''
pho''. ''Tiết canh'' is made from raw
blood, usually
duck or occasionally
goose or
pig blood, and sprinkled with crushed
peanuts. The
government of Vietnam has been considering banning the sale of ''tiết canh'' due to the danger of the transmission of the
H5N1 avian flu virus from birds to humans
