Who makes the best off the shelve black pudding?

[Raymond Lin]

Like the Cullens once in a blue moon I get a craving for blood but with spices and fried in an English Breakfast.

I’ve seldom buy them at home and only get it when I’m at a hotel breakfast normally and this time I bought some but it tastes bland. No texture (not enough oats?) and just doesn’t have flavour.

What else are better? Without trying every black pudding from all the local butchers.

I can't helping afraid, but interested as well.

Good black pudding is good.

Stornoway black pudding without doubt the best.

Bury is terrible. Low fat black pudding what.

Stornoway is the best Scottish style.

The Fruit Pig Co makethe best I have tasted so far. Absolutey delicious. Actually made with fresh blood too.

 

[PlacidCasual]

Well I agree not Bury, it's awful.

I've generally not seen many other other brands on the shelf and normally had to rely on my local butcher having a good supply. Might have to try those two recommendations.

Turns out The Fruit Pig Company has stockists local to me so I'll give that a go.

Agreed 100%. Stornoway black pudding is the king of black pudding.

Much prefer the Scottish style.

I‘d just go to your local butcher(s) and try a few. Mine does a lorne with black pudding in the middle, amazing on a roll.

If the other style are the ones with those fat cubes in them then not a fan no.
i usually buy Stornoway from Costco chop it up and freeze it.
I like a slice with poached egg on top,sometimes crumble a cooked slice into mac and cheese or mixed into plain rice

What other styles of black pudding are there? I was only aware of what everyone is calling Scottish style.

If you cant get to a costco then Stornaway is too expensive because of delivery charges.

English has the bigger cubes of fat in it I've always found.

I order at the same time as friends so we can share the delivery cost.

Edit: just checked and up to 10kg is only £8 delivery! A full black pudding is 1.3kg, so you can get seven delivered for £8. If the website is up to date for delivery charges. Seems cheap to me.

Ask a local deli or butcher if they can get it. When we need some I ask the chap at the local deli to get hold of it for me.

Donald Russell make a good one

I forgot to mention Clonakilty pudding. Great with a scallop.

Also, Buckfast black pudding https://www.onlinebutcher.co.uk/deli/haggis/buckfast-black-pudding-1-36kg

At least one per European nation.

English generally uses pork fat, Scottish beef.

Was in M&S yesterday picked up 650G roll of Stornaway for £6 for those that have problems finding it.

I seriously could not put a name to them (not much use I know) but have really liked those bought in Bury market and the covered markets in Newcastle.

Morcilla Burgos. It is just so much tastier than others.
