Black Pudding - yay or nay?

Great as a starter with scallop.

Also excellent as addition to flavour some savoury dishes.

Love it, heartburn doesn't

Fried black pudding with egg and bacon in a crusty baguette with brown sauce. Dribble dribble.

Something very special about blackpudding and a runny yoke.

Stornoway not as good as a good bury blackpudding. Poor imitation if you ask me, too much like haggis not enough fat.

Eh? Stornoway is nothing like haggis and has plenty of fat, just not in large pieces like cheaper quality puddings. Having a rotund figure and tried many black puddings including Bury, nothing comes close to Stornoway in terms of both taste and texture, in my opinion of course.

Absolutely yes. When I was younger my brain said no because of what it's made of. But now who cares, it's awesome.

Its the large chunks of fat that make a black pudding.

The best black pudding I can recall having was at the Lamb & Lion Inn in York. It really was delicious

Mashtun in Aberlour.
Black pudding and haggis starter. That was Stornoway. Incredible.

Black pudding is amazing, such a tasty thing. Stornoway black pudding is definitely my favourite and I've just found that a butcher in town is selling it so I'm a happy man.

The starter at the Mashtun was fantastic. Actually, all the food I had there was top quality. Hard to believe it was 5 years ago I was there.

Deep fried black pudding. Nom.

Love black pudding, Mrs Tango hates it so if we ever have a cooked breakfast out, I always get to nick hers

Like all these types of food you need to get it right from the butcher the supermarket stuff is significantly not as good.

Craig1981 · 20 Jul 2018 at 16:06

Yes! Its excellent with a fried breakfast.

Back Pudding, Lorne Sausage, Haggis, Tatty Scones nom nom nom nom.

Squid Vicious · 20 Jul 2018 at 16:12

Yep love it as a treat on a fried breakfast - have a local farm shop that has some decent stuff!

You forgot the bacon, but that sounds good otherwise

That isn't the full breakfast, just pointing out those amazing bits.

In addition to that, I usually have beans, toast and bacon!

Hell yay... gives a lovely bit of extra flavour to the full english breakfast, mix it in with the beans and or tomatoes...

I don't know if it's a weird black country thing, but my father in law likes it raw with cheese/cheeseboard... I can't say I'm a big fan of that but it does have a certain flavour raw.

Raw is good as well, makes for a nice quick tasty sandwich with some cheese and Lea & Perrins.

White pudding, on the other hand, has to be cooked.
