Just curious does everyone around the world eat black pudding?

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.
I know they have it in Poland as well. Personally I love it. Waitrose supermarket do black pudding scotch eggs! Awesome!
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.
Online arguments are a lot like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.
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.
Ah I'm glad it's not just us brits.

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...
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

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...?
