Mango chutney?!? La-di and indeed, da.
Jesus H Corbett, look at the Bury puddding again, that's REAL chunks of fat in there, that is.

Look, you can argue all you want, and maybe, just maybe that Stornaway stuff is edible (if served with a wooden spoon and washed down with some Buckie), but is not, and never will be a proper pud.

Look, when the Goodies featured black pud, did they set the episode in some God forsaken Scottish wasteland?
Of course they bloody didn't!
They set it in Lancashire, because they knew their history.

I can see where some of you have gone wrong here, but if you apologise nicely and admit that you're wrong, we'll say no more about it.

Haha! I designed the big bangers company's business cards and menus for him!
Not tried their pud though..
Being from bury is have to say BURY black pudding, warm from the stall on the market with some vinegar on it, I think my friend's mum owns the stall, and the muffin one (oven bottom)

Oven bottom muffins, the real bread of heaven!

Careful though Sam, the Scotch will be claiming that they invented those next.
Along with, oh I don't know, something equally unbelievable, like television, or the bicycle tyre. ๐Ÿ˜‰

This has been my favourite thread from the last 6 months. Truly hilarious. Thank you all.

For the record, I am a keen 'pudding consumer, however I have never been overly concerned about its provenance. This may change.

You're dead to me now.

Personally, I'm the product of a mixed marriage - Dad from Sheffield, Mum from Manchester.
I'm a Sheffield United fan, brought up in Manchester, who lives on the border.

Yorkshire folk are basically southerners, your opinion is meaningless.

I once bought a butty in Scotland - egg and square sausage, [b]WITH STORNOWAY BLACK PUDDING INSIDE THE SQUARE SAUSAGE.[/b]

Yes, a square sausage made with a black pudding inside it. Deal with it.

Not tried deep fried butter yet but with the Scots' genius for cuisine it's got to be good.

Its got to be from Bury!!!

We had a Bury Black Pudding Eating competition once to raise money for the charity I work for apparently they had girls wearing tight t-shirts which said 'I love my puddings' genius!

The sausages from that guy on Rammy market as Binners say are fab and make our weekend!!

Cheers Didn't do the packaging, dreamt up the butchers apron blue and white stripes aesthetic and it works nicely..
I'm not actually a graphic designer, my degree is actually BSc Eng Product Design, but the stainless steel fabrication business I work for has a printing business as a sister company so when things are quiet on the drawing large bits of metal side of things I get to play on illustrator.
Anyone got a job for a skilled engineering design graduate with great SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Illustrator and Photoshop abilities, and a passion for problem solving and black pudding?

Grum, I was born in Crumpsall Hospital, near the Co Op cream cracker factory, in Manchester.
It was my dad who was the Southener, but we don't like to talk about it.

Personally, anywhere south of Deansgate is a bit suspect.

Anyway, you Sir are a traitor and will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.
Square sausage? No wonder they built that wall.

Slight thread hijack, but can anyone tell me where in the south I can get a proper i.e. battered, White Pudding?

These and Bridies are the thing I miss most about Scotland.

That Bury stuff looks pretty vile, what you really want is Morcilla, ideally the onion variety sold in Guadalupe, Extremadura. Which is particularly fine on a sunny day with a cold beer.

Although the Burgos variety (made with rice) is also pretty good.

If you can find something made with fresh rather than dried blood too.

Does that Bury shite make your teeth fall out and grow an extra finger? Just wondering if they had been giving it out to pregnant women. It would explain a lot.

Bury is in Greater Manchester, not Lancashire ๐Ÿ˜‰

Those pieces of fat would usually be sweetbreads.

Well really I'm from Westmorland, but I now live in Lancaster (you know, the traditional capital of LANCASHIRE) - but I have utter contempt for all you la-di-da southern types in Manchester. When they rebuild the wall I hope it goes just south of Lancaster. ๐Ÿ˜‰

It were all Lancashire in my day, lad.

IT may werry very well be, but it's still Lancashire. The county cricket champions, Lancashire, are based in Manchester. Thus, Manchester is Lancashire.

you do know that we subcontracted the wall to some bunch of italians because those south of the wall were too soft to it properly. we did because you were trym to get our black pudding and we didn't think you were up to proper man food. and that the agreement was they'd be paid in copious quantities of proper black pudding, but when we decided to give them deep fried mars bars (named after the roman god of saturday nights out)instead , they took to eating some muck from bury or someplace and two weeeks later, the empire collapsed.
FACT(ish)

Anyway,black pudding cannot be eaten in any country that has less than 100mm of rain during Summer. Its against the laws of nature, so Spain is out.

Morcilla de Burgos?

You can see from the picture that the sausage is filled also with cooked rice.... a way of bulking up the sausage to make it more cheaply.

Yeah sounds classy.

My advise would be to find a butcher that sells a local one in links (rather than mass produced slices). The Bury branded one I bought in my local supermarket was OK but not up to the standard I was expecting or can get from Potteries butchers who sell their own/local produced. But if I was ever in Bury market I'd certainly snap some up.

Bury market is, for any committed carnivore, a vision of heaven itself, unrivaled across the planet.

To a veggie I imagine the only place worse would be an abattoir ๐Ÿ˜€

Charles Mcleod Stornoway black pudding, or the Morcilla from the wee local shops at joyriders in Andalucia.

That Stuff from Bury tastes like something you would apply to a festering wound. In fact, all the black pudding I've tasted in England is rank.

They sell the black puddings warm, sliced lengthways and right next to that stall they sell boiled new potatoes in a paper bag. Perfick.
