I can totally imagine vampires having blood type preferences.

Like, say, if a vampire comes up on a human and starts to drink, they could spit it out because it's a blood type they hate the taste of. Or if a vampire prefers Rh-negative, they would probably be excited when a human has that.

There's obviously more than the common blood types, but let's just use those for example. Maybe some could prefer Type A for having a rich flavor. Or Type O for being salty.

The Sookie Stackhouse books and True Blood show explore this very idea. They've got artificial blood vampires can order at a bar that imitates various blood types. There's a bit where a server grabs the wrong type on purpose because she hates vampires.

But the real question is... does virgin blood taste any different? There are way too many horror movies that require virgin blood.

My theory: as we age, our cells get worse and worse at dividing, and we get more scar tissue and stuff. This affects taste.Old cow isn't as tasty as calf. Lamb is tastier than mutton. I figure "virgin" is just vampire shorthand for "still young and tasty".
