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

[hc4361]

They have! And pork belly (belly draft to me) as starters. Next it will be tripe.

[paddywak]

In our area whenever there was a games night the buffet always included black pudding sandwiches and a pot of mustard for garnish and they were usually the first sandwiches to go.,closely followed by the dripping especially if it had a lot of "jelly" in it.Cholesterol hadn't been invented in those days

[Togo]

LOL there. Cold with salt and vinegar, or boiled up with onions. All the chippies used to sell tripe in S.O.T. when I was a lad. Now it's those vile kebabs. Chitterlings there's a thought.l

[hc4361]

Same in my local, paddywak. Black pudding, sliced onion, pork pie and chunks of cheese and bread. Heaven.

Funny thing, togo, I had chitterlings for the first time in years and years just before Christmas. Pressed, I never could bring myself to try the loose, wimp that I am. Very nice it was too.

Black Pudding, always been a super food in my book,Togo. Much prefer it uncooked to cooked though.

One of the best feel good nutricious ,filling,warming.healthy winter stews is a Spanish peasant dish called
Fabadas Asturianas that I do. Tons of Black Pud.cabbage ,pots,chrizo and loads of beans (Fabadas).Cooks in the fat from the black pud and chorizo and then loads of stock. Very nutricious and tasty.

Cow heel and pigs trotters. Imagine. The kids of today would faint.

I often cube Black Pudding into a Hotpot or a Hash, adds a lovely flavour.

I bet the price of BP will go up now :(

[Mamyalynne]

As soon as things get recommended by the TV Chefs the price goes daft - it happened with pig's cheeks - something once almost given away.

You know where I live mamyalynne, Bury market for me on Wednesday. 2 black puddings one hot with relish, one cold to take home.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes I do and am very fortunate to also have access to the best stuff, meet you at the Bus Station. ;-)

If I had posted a Daily Mail link it would have been politics in 10 minutes.

I remember when Butchers were happy to give away lamb shanks. Thanks to these arty crafty ruddy TV cookery programmes on TV the price has gone through the roof. I love cooking with offal.
Favourite Phillipino dish I do is Kare Kare. Tripe, Oxtail and peanut butter stew. All cheap offal ingredients once upon a time but now .??

snap hc.

[Mamyalynne]

Oxtail can be a struggle to get, I have found at least.

[hc4361]

I always have oxtail in my freezer. My butcher usually has it.
