Well I never. Black pudding deemed a healthy option. Lava bread and black pudding for breakfast anyone?

You can keep the lava bread, I'll stick to the black pudding. I eat it at least twice a week.

How I wish I could get lava bread in London. No problem in Swansea or even Barnstaple. They used to sell it in Selfridges food hall but it has probably been replaced by Falafael. Roll on Bury Black Pudding as well :-)

[Togo]

You health freak! Haha. I will now hc.

Thanks Togo
Still feel like I have done 3 mins with "our Henry" Thanks for the link. I used to go to that site regularly and it was always unavailable (Lava not the site).
I ended up buying small tins from another site which turned out very expensive and didn't taste as good. Could of bought Bulga caviar cheaper. :-) I will send off for some today.
Mrs retro hates me frying it up in bacon fat cos bits stick to the pan and kitchen sink

Those are the ones. Got to be with fat though. My flooded out B.I.L. lives in Bury and he gets it for us occasionally.Think his mind is very much on saving his possessions at the moment and house repairs so I had better get a ring from Sainsburys. :-( Used to get big rolls of it in Costco when I can get there.

Crikey I see what you mean by the caviar reference.

[retrocop]

:-) Must think us Saaarfeners are loaded.

'She who must be obeyed' has started her annual guilt trip diet. Can't wait to see her face when I give her a big portion of black pudding and tell her it is a health food.

[retrocop]

Put it between two Ryvitas. Should get away with it. :-)

I always remember a large imposing house standing on its own in Rest Bay, Porthcawl. It was a rest home for retired Miners( most with respiratory diseases). My da told me they were fed lava bread every breakfast for it's medicinal qualities (plenty of iron etc.)
"Ay sticks to your ribs boy" he used to tell me. :-)

[Togo]

Black pudding smoothies anyone?

[Old_Geezer]

It may be full of good nutrition, but until they make a low fat version ...

[Togo]

The thing is geezer it is. About 3% I think. The problem is frying it in bacon fat.

Not tried lava bread but love black pudding.

[hc4361]

I eat black pudding the way it is when I buy it. I don't cook it

[Togo]

I sometimes do too hc. But I do like it warm with eggs. Grilled is a good option. They have been serving it at top end eateries with quail eggs and asparagus for a while.
