Black pudding

[grainweevil]

He's a bit of a quick thinker to be Cornish, innee? Although I can well imagine a bit of hog's pudding would be just the thing for Hogswatch.

Not sure if I know what hog's pudding is.

Just curious does everyone around the world eat black pudding?

Here in the Empire State....every now and then I have a breakfast consisting of

bangers rashers black pudding white pudding eggs over easy tomatoes beans bread butter

and a large hot cup of black coffee......Hmm..boy that's good......

It tends to take the same place in a "Full Cornish Breakfast" that Black Pudding does in a "Full English Breakfast"

As I'm a fan of haggis too it sounds pretty decent to me.

And what is haggis?

Oh my friend it's magnificent! After scotch it's the best thing to come out of Scotland... basically a sheep's stomach stuffed with meat, fat, offal and barley I think. Sounds bad taste great

[grainweevil]

When I was little, thanks to Eric Thompson (Emma's dad) and The Magic Roundabout, I was under the impression that a haggis was a small creature that lived in the Highlands, went "Wheee" a lot, and was hunted under licence from Oban. On the whole I think it's slightly more palatable than the truth.

[RocketRyan]

You need to try it! Goes well crumbled up with pasta.

But of course the best black pudding is Stornoway black pudding... The only contraband I will risk illegally importing in my suitcase

Good effort sir.

[SIR]

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.

Definitely not 'particularly' Northern, we in the south too love it (or hate it).

I visited England and Wales a few years back and loved the breakfast there! Black Pudding and Field Mushrooms on Toast...heaven! Black Pudding, John Smiths Bitter and Pork Scratching are few of my favourite things...to paraphrase an old Julie Andrews song :-)

[RocketRyan]

If you liked the john smiths you should come again, there's a craft beer and cider revolution going on now days. Everyone with a shed is brewing beers for the hipster crowds.

There's a place in Austin called "Full English" that serves a breakfast of banger, british bacon, fried farm egg, pan-fried mushrooms, roasted tomato, and fried bread. You can also get baked beans and toast and marmalade and a pot of tea. But no black pudding. I haven't tried it yet because it seems incomplete without the pudding (which I have never tried.)

[RocketRyan]

A decent butcher should be able to knock some up for you.

I like black pudding. I like the English style with cubes of fat in. That is very hard to find here in Canada. Our French Canadian Boudin, which is easy to find is just not the same. It is too stodgy.

Portugal also has its own version, which tends to be quite spicy. Can't say I've ever had any other style as far as I can recall.

I must try and find this.
