    Surely that's just a British thing? And particularly a Northern British thing at that. Can't stand the stuff myself but I think I'm an exception.

    There are versions of black pudding (blood sausage) in many countries.

    I've seen (and bought) it upon occasion at a couple of the less mainstream grocers here in Indy. I'll try almost any food at least once. My princess is a N'awlins girl, though, and refuses to partake of such stuff, so it is a rare treat for me.

    Does she eat boudin? I've not seen "bloody boudin" around here, but I've heard that there are places in the outlying parishes where you can still buy it.

    I rather like it (comes from being a Lancashireman by birth I think), but I also happen to know the French (boudin noir) and Dutch have similar.

    Nope. Nothing made from blood or organ meat. She even turned up her nose at my (very delicious) steak & kidney pie!

    In Puerto Rico we have blood sausage, and it's specially popular around christmas time. Why is it called "black pudding"? Doesn't look like any pudding I know...

    We have two versions of it in the Netherlands: a little sweet, with apple, and without. Neither is very populair anymore I think. It's 'old' food. We call it Bloedworst ('blood sausage').

    Chocolate YES, bloody food...NO. Sorry I stumbled across this, and it is pretty tough to read. I can't even watch someone eat a rare steak. Ugh.

    I don't like rare/blue steak either but black pudding doesn't look bloody at all as it is well cooked - and delicious. I've eaten many versions around the world but the ones sold on Warrington (UK) market in the 1960s & 70s (in the county of Lancashire back then, but now in Cheshire) were the best I've ever tasted.

    I even found a seller of them on the small farmers' market in the town in Australia where we live for half the year. I think I might be their only customer! Lol

    Pudding
    is an old Middle English word, believe derived from the French word boudin. Boudin itself is derived from the Latin botellus meaning small sausage. Pudding can be both a dessert or savoury dish.

    I haven't had a snake and pigmy pie for ages, love suet pastry. Saying that I like liver and bacon casserole, and only know one other that does too.

    It seems horribly unfair that you can get it in Australia, and all I see down here is hog's pudding. Which is okay in itself, if you put aside it's unfortunate appearance, but it's an entirely different thing.

    Did I see somewhere that the Finns, and maybe Swedes, go in for a blood pancakes...?

    Thus the existence of Hog's Pudding leads us to postulate that CMOT Dibbler was in fact a Cornishman.
