Anti-coagulants and refrigeration were first used (at least according
to mortal records) in the first decade of the twentieth century.
Who knows what vampiric ingenuity might have accomplished before
that.

Subject: Re: bottled blood
Maybe this is where Nick got the idea for bottled cow's blood.

Using ox blood in the process of fining wine was centuries old. It was
fading from popularity when it was banned outright in France in 1997.

Also, just because humans didn't know how to preserve the blood well,
doesn't mean that vampire suppliers hadn't known how to do so for centuries.

Subject: FK Moment
I just burst out in giggles when I heard the following line on Slings
and Arrows tonight.
Ger's character says it during the first rehersal of Macbeth.
"It was a joke with Nigel at the RSC."
It was that on top of seeing two actors, whom I had so identified
with other roles and series, together in the same show. Just weird.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled list.

In an FK fanfic, can't remember the name...
a drop or two of vampire blood was added
to each bottle of human to preserve it.
