in the past, when I was a bad bad man, my fave buttie was,
black pudding, dripping, and slice onion. just perfect... 😀
What is Red pudding?
Vile
I had a red pudding supper, tasted the red pudding and it was so horrible I couldn't eat it and chucked it out the car window for the birds. A seagull swooped down on it, took a bite and dropped it. Not even seagulls eat it.
Stornoway black pudding - awesome
Morcilla - awesome
Any black pudding I have tried in England tasted like it should be applied to a wound. Hideous.
CFH - they're made a boiled-egg's-throw away from my coppice (literally, one good run up and I reckon I could hit their office door 🙂 ). Ive been into see them a few times to chat. Great little Co. and they have quite a few retail outlets around these parts now. Spoilt for choice with all their recipes mind.
They're available in a rather nice deli in Stockbridge down here. Utterly lovely.
Bury Blackpudding is a pale imitation compared to Stornoway. That stuff is just superb and everything I have ever had from Bury has been... well... kinda disappointing in comparison.
I'm of the opposite opinion, Bury black pud is ace, Stornaway stuff is weak tasting.
that deep fried shizzle looks the business! was decidedly unimpressed with white pudding though
What about http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_pudding with square sausage, I love cooked breakfast in Scotland.
Gastropub we went to last week used it lovely with pigeon, celeriac mash and a nice jus.
Bury black pudding I think, tasted lovely to me but I've never managed to have it abroad despite many visits to Spain. Are they not so keen on the morcilla down south?
Has some battered and fried black pud in the Adelphi hotel in Leeds, along with a few of their real ale selection - blooming lovely it was 🙂
I sometimes make a tart with roquefort,apple, walnuts aaaaand boudin noir.
It's rather tasty
Not many reasons for visiting Stornoway, but black puddin is one
Heaven. Whether in a breakfast fry up or at a fine dining restaurant
How is it the english act freaked out about haggis but embrace the obviously far mankier scab sausage?
(no criticism implied of either heavenly foodstuff)
It's jealousy NW. We have haggis, they have faggots.
I am generally not a fan of BP but my wife makes a dish to die for ,she is currently at a conference in Londinium so just for STW she has sent me the recipe.
Fry a few onions gently(not many) and reserve ( whatever that means).
Then fry two apples and reserve.
Then fry the BP into which you incorporate the onions.
Then layer them both together into a tower( with turrets an all)
Scoff the lot with shit loads of wine ,this is France.
Sounds good!.
( whatever that means).
It means put them to one side for use later
Love black pudding, and now in a Scotch egg too. Heaven!
Binners, be assured that Andrew Jones does not even come close to being the best pork pie maker in the colne valley. You need to get out there and start trying various butchers in the valley. For starters get your self to butchers a bottom of Wessenden, eat and learn.
Ooooo Binners sounds like you have some work to do 😉
Stornoway +1, big log in the freezer 🙂
Big logs are supposed to be flushed Iain, not frozen!
Heaven
And +1 for making scotch eggs with it!
So I must be the only one that finds it repulsive shite?!
Nobeer - easier sliced and fried that way !
We live 3 miles north of the 2012 scottish champs, and 12 miles or so south of the runners up.
Both pretty good

Saltcoats or Wemyss Bay - take your pick
You in west Kilbride then fankled? I'm from Saltcoats originally (managed to escape!) and that BP ain't a patch on the Stornaway stuff.
Aye Wk
I've had Macleod's - we went to Harris in 2004, and wanted some of the infamous black pudding from Stornaway. Told the old dear that ran the place we were staying. She phoned the butcher, who put the pudding on the bus. The bus drove from Stornaway to Luskentyre - stopped outside the B&B and the old dear collected the BP from the bus.
She paid next time she went to town
Awesome service.
The stuff from Saltcoats is a shed load easier to get, and pretty damned good 😉
I'll need to try it again. Where do you ride locally fankled? There's a few of us on here that ride up the moor regularly.
Morcilla is where its at- grill it, parillada style and then just split one end and let it splurge over your choice of breadstuffs...
Alternately, a bog standard UK one in a cob with a fried egg and some pepper will do nicely.
Nice black pudding, absolutely lovely. There is some horrible stuff out there too though.
@nobeer - mostly local, from the village there are a few good places to try, the Fairlie moor road etc.
Still being taught by proper locals 🙂
All rides are aimed at the old and slow 🙂
Cool, gimme a shout if ye fancy a wee spin, been riding the moor for 10 years now.
Once you've had Stornoway black pudding you'll never eat another type. Yum.
I've just got back from a restaurant where a lady on the table next to us complained to the waitress that her "Stornaway Black pudding scotch egg" was too strong a flavour. She then complained her Grouse Breast was too "gamey". Some people are just paps!!!!
Love it - preferably a ring black pudding from Weegmans butchers in Otley when I'm back up North, gently simmered and accompanied by a long squirt of HP sauce - no need for any of these bread, apple or onion accompaniments.
prefer my BP with a portion of black peas.
Try pork wellington....nom,nom,nom
Stuff a pork fillet with black pudding, brown and leave to cool. Sweat the onion and mushrooms with more black pudding and leave to cool.
Assembly is puff pastry rolled out into rectangle, parma ham laid on top then the mushroom mixture then pork fillet. Roll up and bake for about 30 mins till pastry is golden and the fillet cooked.
My other half liked it as his birthday dinner anyway!
