Black Pudding

[ethandron]

How do you usually eat yours?
We have slices of it with a full breakfast type meal..bacon, eggs, beans, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, toast. Occasionally I’ve put a slice on top of a burger in a bun along with some Lancashire cheese. Also put some in a stack with scallops and bacon and a lime dressing.
Himself used to have a bowl of boiled black pudding covered in tomato ketchup, a throw back meal to his childhood which I’ve never attempted.

I've had it chopped and fried very crispy with bacon bits and sprinkled on a salad with blue cheese. I love the taste and would eat it if it was prepared in a restaurant but can't bear to think about what it is and could'nt cook it at home. :-(

Boiled with plenty of salt n vinegar - perhaps a hint of mustard, too. Slurp.

I eat mine with bacon in a butty or as part of a fried english, i love it. It’s not a ‘full’ english without it!

[ummmm]

I'm not a fan but I will eat it. It's already cooked so I like it just heated. I'll do it with a fry as the boys like it but for me I like it best with scallops and either pea or cauliflower puree.

[Tilly2]

I like it sliced and eaten cold. No cooking.

If I’m doing a ‘Spanish’ chicken type stew, I usually throw some balck pudding in. Other than that, it goes with a fry up.

I don't. I have tried it many times and it was a favourite of my late Mum's but I'd have to be REALLY hungry these days. Same as offal, I used to love it but to me now it smells and tastes really strong.

A while since I had it but last time it was with scallops (seafood)

[ducksie]

I love a slice on a slice of apple with any kind of chutney, if there's no chutney, it's just nice on the apple anyway

[tamborine]

gawd no - tastes of scabs, yuk

[Mamyalynne]

It's nice crumbled into a corned beef hash too.

[cashier]

Usually with fried egg and tomatoes, but also with mash and veg. Had it in a sandwich which was nice. Love it.

I like black pudding, and as has been said, it's already cooked so I eat mine cold. A funny story though:

Many years ago a catering firm to an organisation to which I belong announced their speciality, steak and kidney pie with black pudding. Everyone thought that this was great until I pointed out that pies have limited capacity and that for every piece of black pudding there was one less piece of steak.

OMG.....boiled black pudding......that takes me back a few years. :)

[AuntLydia]

Tambo, I'm intrigued to know how you know what scabs taste like ;-)

[ethandron]

I’m curious too AL, long time since I chewed a scab ;)
Ducksie, would the black pud be hot, and the apple slice cooked, or both cold?
Tilly, how do you have it cold...on crackers, in a sandwich, or just eaten by itself?
For me, I have to be in the mood, and only have a thin slice however it’s served. Thanks everyone, just wanted something different to do with it.

[woofgang]

tambo.....how do you know what scabs taste like.....on second thoughts do not answer

[woofgang]

ha ha loads of us with the same idea

Very simple. Grilled with Brown sauce for breakfast.
One of my favourite winter warming dishes is a Spanish traditional Peasant dish called Fabadas Asturianas .The Spanish call their equivalent Morilla. The French Boudon noire.
Cabbage,potato,Fava beans,chorizo,garlic.Gammon Hock and chunks of Black Pudding. Fantastic.

scallops and an alternative to black puddin' (Ecky Thump) is scallops with Cornish hog's pudding - and throw in some foraged samphire alongside this....
