The French know how to make even the oddest foods taste delicious by successfully pairing ironic flavors. The Boudin Noir dish at Cafe Bastille (22 Belden, SF. 415-986-5673, www.cafebastille.com) takes blood sausage to the next level, making a variety that's liver-based and is served on a pile of mashed potatoes and caramelized apples. It's like a high-class shepherd's pie.
