Black Puddings

[Ron B Manderson]

I am glad I read the web page about this.
Boy are they wrong on a great deal of ingredence.
So For that we scots will keep our secret.
Ok lads , let them south of the wall in limbo.

On the black puddings.
I find the english ones have big lumps of fat in them .
You would never sell them up here like that .
In forfar we have the british gold medal winner for blackpuddings.
Now they are just great, and we are keeping them up here.
So Ther.!!!!

Hi Ron , down here in civilisation we have a choice. Lean or fatty,..Ill take the fatty ones anytime , Pigs fat is very tasty thats why so many people like like pork crackling.

How long will it be called "Black" pudding.One of the
Councils in Wales,I think its Radnorshire,have just
banned the pudding Spotted Dick from its menu's
as being offensive,its now on the menu as Spotted
Richard.How long before Faggots,become Sexualy
Unsettled Meatballs,or all Tarts become Flans,or
Black Pudding becomes Ethnic Minority Pudding,or
Cod Balls become Fish Spheres.Another example of
Politicaly Correct busybodies going overboard.

Well Dave
Just heard today that Flintshire(it wasn't Radnor) Council has decided to re-instate Spotted Dick on the menu again,instead of Spotted Richard. They only changed it because it was causing amusement in the staff canteen. I ask you...where do they get these people?.......
　
In any case it gave many a convent girl(and the nuns) a vicarious thrill when it appeared on the menu.Early sex education?
As for one of our regulars,there's no way we'll ever stop calling him "Big Dick"(he's tall and broad).to distinguish him from the other 'little' Richards in the pub. No,he'll always be "Big Dick" to us.
As for the name of the pub itself "Ye Olde Faggott & Firkin"...well Ye Aged Homo and Barrell,doesn't have the same ring to it somehow.............

Slightly aside from Black Pudding, have any of you eaten food that at first might have sounded a bit queer, whoops should that be gay, but found them to be very tasty. Yesterday I tried one, which at first sounded a bit odd, banana wrapped in bacon and grilled on the BBQ. Very tasty with abit of soy sauce.

Sorry, this has nothing to do with the black or white stuff - I would not normally attempt to hi-jack a thread, buit need all to be involved and where better at the mo for, peep's lookiing in. Appypolilogies, if I err, but read on and decide for yourselves: Black pudding on a stamp could be next ?

GB stamps - forgotten service

FROM OUR POST OFFICE WEB SITE:

We set sail on the third and final issue in our Military Uniforms series by highlighting the history of clothing and equipment of the Royal Navy.

The series, which began in 2007 with the British Army and continued in 2008 with Royal Air Force, looks at more than two centuries of nautical apparel from the Senior Service; from a telescope-touting Admiral of 1795 to the high-tech, high visibility uniform of a modern day Flight Deck Officer.

Guess at what is the forgotten service, they as many overlook, I WILL BE WRITING IN: SUGGEST YOU MAY DO ALSO. If an MN stamp does appear in the future, all credit to them and those that push for it, or can be bothered - like all else it is up to us to both remember and ensure all others at least know. I will also write to her madge as our patron and request that we lick the reverse of an MN stamp also.

Please do similar and share your views on this, at least an MN STAMP AND AN MN First issue, plus an MN FIRST DAY COVER ON - OR BY MN DAY, next year would be welcomed.

I wiil push this as far as pos, but need all on site to do similar. Will furnish contact details as we go on, but youir search engine can get you rolling................ Please assist on thiis request, lets get It licked. K.

Am passionate on this one and ask you may all assist................... Please ?

Just back from Scotland and much to tell, 99/100 for availability and also avilable 24/7, Both Black and White at breakfast or Haggis, both available at lunch and the Haggis with neeps and tatties at lunch with a whisky sauce etc. And all deep fried in batter for dinner from the chippy.

More than likely had to much, planning next trip already.

Worth a try is Black/White Pudding or Haggis Mash.

Lovely.

Almost 4,000 persons have viewed this thread, almost twice the site membership. this must be the worlds most travelled black pudding ever. Well done Wilky, whats next?

[alf corbyn]

hi tiger!. i don't think i would enjoy your white pudding as it would be very hard to swallow. they use sheeps intestines not sheepskins. suppose it would keep the puddings warm on a cold night though/. keep well my love. cheers. alf xx

Sorry for meddling: The theme should go on:

Black Pud's are alive and kicking.

Will keep in topic: More of the black / white stuff please.................. ?
