Olton Ram Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I always judge the quality of a hotel on the availability of black pudding in their cooked breakfast. Black pudding = quality establishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s some blood tacos I had in a flash restaurant here. I don’t say this lightly, but that is the worst plate of food I have ever seen in my 38 years on this planet. I would rather eat a bowl of Boycie’s toenail clippings than even sit in the same room as someone eating those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'm a confirmed carnivore but somehow have never fancied trying black pudding. I love sausages / pork pie / burgers / haslet etc but always buy them from the local butcher, where I can see them being made in the back and what goes in them etc. I have a couple of friends who swear by Richmond sausages but I wouldn't give that awful pink slime to my dog (if I had one).

Comrade 86 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Served with scallops and either pea puree or colcannon, or even both. Delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 The one compensation for the absence of sausages at Mel's breakfast club was that the black pudding being served was excellent, fully befitting its status as a 'super food'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 It's so good. At Crich butchers they do "George Stafford's Black Pudding". Now I don't know who George Stafford is, but I know he'd be on this year's New Year's honours list if his black pudding had made it's way to Buckingham Palace.

George Stafford was a top-class butcher and had his shop in Stanley Common. He won many awards for his black pudding and sausages, including the gold medal at the Normandy International Competition several years ago. I think George died quite a few years ago and the butchers shop is no longer there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Our local butchers does vegetarian black pudding It tastes the same, and has the same ingredients - just that the animals donate the blood willingly via blood bank. They get a free biscuit and a cup of tea, then go about their business as before. Win-Win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven on a plate. I love Black Pudding - the good stuff from the butchers - not the ersatz supermarket crap Once in a restaurant in Yorkshire I had - 5 pints real ale Starter - large Black pudding and apple stack up thing Main - Pork Belly and seasonal veg, onion gravy Pudding - A hot sponge pudding thing with loads of dried fruit In terms of flatulence I almost achieved unaided flight walking back to the hotel.

ram1964 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Never tried the stuff but was a family favourite in the day. The thought of congealed pigs blood and chunks of fat never appealed to myself.Apparently Bury market is the place to go for authentic black pudding. Always looks good sliced and fried, although my family eat them boiled served whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
