The Big Black Pudding Debate

Like Marmite: You either love it or hate it.

It's a superfood, surely, unless you have Haemochromatosis.

Food of the Gods and anyone who dislikes the taste is clearly deranged and votes for Trump or UKIP.

Absolutely brilliant!
Apologies to Bury, but the Stornoway version is the best.

From the title I thought this was going to be a discussion on the merits or otherwise of Diane Abbott :P

No no no no. Irish is the best, Clonakilty to be specific.



Check out the oat content in these bad boys.

With two votes we're winning as long as other opinion remains divided.

when i used to work for Kingston Communications, in hull, a few of the local lasses, used to say "once you ve had black, there aint no going back" never had what ever black pudding they were talking about, but they looked well on the stuff, so maybe it is a wonder food?

Black pudding is for softies. When I was in Guangzhou I just had a bowl of congealed pig's blood for breakfast - yummy :twisted:

Okay. Stornoway is the best that I have tasted.
And Ecky Thump can be filed with "When a were a lad...".

Sorry chaps, but the lumps of fat (look away now, Pinno) in the pics of the Irish puds are too small. Needs more fat, I say.
I am slightly ashamed to say that the best black pudding I have ever eaten was in France. It was served with apple purée. And it was heavenly. And I have eaten a fair bit of the stuff over the years.

Ooohhhhh - yes: the black pudding sausages they have: utterly lush. I'd forgotten about them. Boudon Noir or similar? Brilliant call that man.

Any congealed blood product - bring it on. Washed down with tax payer funded coffee or real ale.

Looks like the freaks are in the majority in the poll - can you be a freak if you're in the majority??

Boudin noir and boudin blanc are both delicious, but I'll still go for the British black pudding.

What a thumping!
God bless you all. This is your victory! In all our long history we have never seen a greater day than this. Everyone, man or woman, has done their best. Everyone has tried. Neither the long years, nor the dangers, nor the fierce attacks of the enemy, have in any way weakened the unbending resolve of the British black pudding loving nation. God bless you all.

Was it all arranged in perfect symmetry on the plate?

Black pudding is the food of the gods, it puts hairs on your teeth and enables you to reach ungodly heights of physical supremacy.

Having said that I ride my bike like a sandbag and have no hair on my teeth!

I do like the black stuff though.

Oh man, fruit pudding! Mmm, days of future passed.

Are you still able to get those breakfast packs in Glasgow corner shops with slices of black, fruit and haggis(? memory fail) pudding which put together with slices of square sausage and fried egg became 'the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast'.
