What’s the best. I’m becoming obsessed, for Saturday breakfasts, with toast.
So supermarket brand / ‘mass brand’. I know proper butchers should be better, but even the good butchers near me buy it in from somewhere and then pass off as their own, and the only one I think make their own put juniper in it. Which is a fine thing in the right place (gin and drywors mainly) but should not be in black pudding. It’s also at least twice the price at the butchers.
Good:
Waitrose own prepacked (4 slices blister pack) – goes lovely and crispy on the surface
Clonakilty (black and white pudding)
Simon Howie
Bad
Bury black pudding. Just goes warm, doesn’t crisp, big bits of fat stay all rubbery.
Waitrose off the deli BP sausage (suspect may be Bury black pudding too)
