Set a large stock pot over medium heat, then add the olive oil and onions and cook until tender and lightly brown, about 10 minutes.<br \/>\n2. Add the chopped pork to the pot book for another 10 minutes.<br \/>\n3. Pour in the vinegar and 3-4 cups of water (4 if you have fresh pig&#8217;s blood, 3 if you have coagulated blood), the salt and the bay leaves. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium low and let the soup simmer, covered, for 45 minutes to and hour or until the pork is cooked through.<br \/>\n4. Add the pork blood* and simmer for 15 minutes more, then serve.<br \/>\n*If you are using coagulated pork blood, mix it with the final cup of water in a blender and blend until most of it is liquid. Strain out any large chunks and add the liquid to the soup.<\/p>\n<p>PHOTO CREDITS<br \/>\nSymposium Scene: Marie-Lan Nguyen \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3muYyoI\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3muYyoI<\/a><br \/>\n<em>Schwarzsauer<\/em>: Overbergderivative work \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2ZJxBUq\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2ZJxBUq<\/a><br \/>\n<em>Dinuguan<\/em> with <em>puto<\/em>: Lambanog \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3mrLyAg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3mrLyAg<\/a><br \/>\nOdaker: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2ZKFRUi\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2ZKFRUi<\/a><br \/>\nPlutarch Bust: Odyssey \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2FAYO54\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2FAYO54<\/a><br \/>\nRoman mosaic from Dougga: Pascal Radigue \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2E6Wu4Y\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2E6Wu4Y<\/a><br \/>\nGreek Vase with Child: National Archaeological Museum of Athens \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2H04tlo\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2H04tlo<\/a><br \/>\nSarcophagus Marcus Cornelius Statius: Louvre Museum \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2ZK3bla\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2ZK3bla<\/a><br \/>\nDionysus with Hermes on Jug: MatthiasKabel &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2FECCqL\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2FECCqL<\/a><br \/>\nMt Taygetus: Gepsimos &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/32A4SU8\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/32A4SU8<\/a><br \/>\nEurotas River: Gepsimos \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2Fv4AVY\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2Fv4AVY<\/a><br \/>\nXerxes: Darafsh \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2H0lWds\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2H0lWds<\/a> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-05-at-10-06-52-Spartan-BLACK-BROTH-Melas-Zomos-Quotulatiousness.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-05-at-10-06-52-Spartan-BLACK-BROTH-Melas-Zomos-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-70976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-05-at-10-06-52-Spartan-BLACK-BROTH-Melas-Zomos-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-05-at-10-06-52-Spartan-BLACK-BROTH-Melas-Zomos-Quotulatiousness-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-05-at-10-06-52-Spartan-BLACK-BROTH-Melas-Zomos-Quotulatiousness-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-05-at-10-06-52-Spartan-BLACK-BROTH-Melas-Zomos-Quotulatiousness.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tasting History with Max Miller Published 6 Oct 2020 If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to be a Spartan warrior, then making a bowl of Melas Zomos is just a part of the process.
