This charcutier in Cornwall makes some seriously good nduja black pudding. Their website seems to be taking some time out at the moment, but it can normally be ordered online. Highly recommended for black pud fans.

Then why say it directly after the Recipe

Read before it.

I'm sorry I wasted my breath

Apology accepted Rob ,I think maybe some of your pedanticism has rubbed off on me

With apologies to Rob L who didn’t want this be a foodie thread apparently:

This was Sunday breakfast at the nearest cafe local to where we currently are -


It was delicious.

Was it Black Friday discounted?

It was delicious.

Was it Black Friday discounted?

No. But it did cost less than I would pay just for the components in England.

Our Amazon shopping basket has loads of things in it that might be bought some day. Black Friday usually sees a few bargains so the button is pushed.

Our shopping basket never has black pudding innit.




Side note; isn't black pudding consumption a bit of a middle class thing these days? I hear that Waitrose and M&S sell more than all other retailers combined with Caramel Spiced Negra Rustique being the top seller in Cheshire.

I feel like I should be shopping for something, but can't think of what. Maybe a vacuum cleaner.

The old fashioned black puddings are hard to find these days - the ones done in pig gut skin. How you can eat that stuff down south with the chunks of fat in it is beyond me - it’s pearl barley here, and spicy. Better done to a crisp too. White pudding is too mealy for me.

It's probably time to do haggis as well, as Bill has commented.
Best haggis I ever had was for breakfast in a hotel in Dundee - slices fried like you would black pudding. With wilted spinach and poached egg.
Gourmet stuff given it was the 1980s.

[Pete L]

Late convert to haggis, but still not had it other than on Burns Night.

Still think the whole meal was designed for folk with none of their ain teeth. But that might be part of the historical point.

We're (hopefully) six weeks or so away from moving back home post house-fire in the summer. Having had to replace literally everything that we owned that was in the house, black Friday has been something I've looked forward to this year like never before. Be it boring stuff like hoovers, or more fun stuff like TVs and sound systems, there really are some decent savings to be made and not with just the big online retailers.

The only problem is storing all the stuff until we get back home - I'm on the verge of renting a storage unit and billing it to the insurance company!

I worked a Peugeot gig in Dundee a couple of years back.

The shopping mall had a coin-op black pudding dispenser.
