Black Pudding

Fried on a bun with ketchup. That’s a breakfast!

Black Pudding is one of those foods you would rather not know the ingredients of.

Blood, mostly. There, I told you so.

I recall Bill Oddie in the Goodies creating the lost Lancastrian marshal art of Ecky Thump. This involved wearing flat caps, braces, yelling “eeeeeee ba gum” and whacking people with black puddings. Which ended up flying somehow.

So maybe black pudding is more Lancastrian than Scottish, but Scots eat it, and I like it and it is hard to find in America.

One of the many delicacies served in supper form, deep fried in batter with chips, salt and sauce and wrapped in newspaper.
