I like the Bury Black pudding company ones, either in a full English or on a kebab with bacon wrapped scallops on the BBQ. I've had some pretty disgusting ones from other suppliers though.

That’s the one I normally have. Tesco do 4 nice big slices for a quid.

Love the stuff. Get mine from a local farmer's market and it's sublime.

Bacon, sausage, blood pudding, eggs and mushrooms with fresh oatcakes from either London Rd. or Church St. Food o' the Gods.

I'm the opposite. I used to buy the bury one but now tried the Aldi one and the other one tesco do (wee black something) and think they are way tastier with an earthier and spicier flavor. When I tried the bury again they tasted bland.

Only if it is Stornoway

This!

However, if you don't have any to hand, M&S pre sliced stuff ain't a million miles away. Not as good but much better than the usual butchers crap, imo!

And add in some white pudding while you're at it

Bickaxe · 13 Jul 2018 at 18:12

You can order Stornoway directly from them.
Best I've had and keep meaning to do it.

The best pudding I've tasted has to the The Fruitpig Company's. Stornoway and Buckfast are great too.

I've never understood the popularity of Bury. Low fat black pudding is laughable and it tastes crap.

Big yes from here in Sarf Landan.

Never met a black pudding I didn't like!

Has to go in the full English whenever it's an option.

Weird thing is my eldest is the biggest carnivore ever but won't touch it. His loss, I guess, and more for me!

Yay! just been visiting friends in Scotland and a cheeky bit of Haggis along with it for breakfast...great combo.

Jokester · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:21

Don’t make me choose between haggis slice and black pudding :mad:

Love it on its own with some English mustard.

Only from Chadwick's on Bury market. Anything else pales in comparison.

Completes a Full English for me. Mop up some egg yolk or brown sauce for the full effect.

I love the stuff, both black and white pudding

This, so much this.

Black pudding in a fry up, on a roll or with a breast of chicken is amazing. My local butcher's is quality, Stornoway isn't all that tbh.

Malevolence · 14 Jul 2018 at 23:42

Forgot to mention, one of the stalls at the same farmer's market I get my black pudding from also has Scotch Eggs made with black pudding instead of the sausage meat. Bloody top notch they are too.

Its a no from me i'm afraid.

Purely based on its looks, and what it is.

I've tried a few times to eat it with an open mind, but I just cant do it, my brain just goes ewwwww, no thanks.
