Black Puddings

Hi Wilky,
A very good friend and shipmate hails from Stornaway. When home in Stornaway always used to bring a few for the lads breakfast. And im afraid all agreed (Yorkys included) that it was the best ever tasted
of hand cant mind exat name of butcher who makes it,but can soon find out. Mind i have tasted them from lancashire and they are good to mate. Once down in Knaseborough in caravan park,or just outside nice place. All the best for the New Year to you and your family, Regards Jim R666795:)

Recent promitions and projects, include an mn postage stamp and coin of the realm, forgot all about the black stuff, mn recipe welcomed. K.

Have revived and elongated this post myself a few times and just when I thought it had crossed the bar, someone else can take the blame. Thank you. HA HA.

SERIOUSLY, Have only come across the vegeterian version that does not include the bacon. Banana is pierced several times and cooked on the barbi and older was cooked along with potatoes etc in a bomfire. Watched a programme last night to do with rationing and we had no bananas for something like nine years.

Certain some of the gourmets on site will come up with wrapped in parma ham etc. Bannana has for a long time been associated with meat dishes around the globe, often offered as an accompaniment with curry etc. Certain a Black Pudding stuffed banana recipe will be located etc.

New twist to an old thread, interested greatly.

Thanks again K.

King prawns wrapped in bacon is quite common here and of late the supermarkets are now stocking frozen sweet potato fries as an alternative to the normal ones. Also very different but a nice change is prawns covered in mashed Avacado, dipped in batter and deep fried. But for something very different but quite tasty, find a pig farmer who is about to castrate male pigs, the testies are a great feed fried with some onions. I know it sounds like a load of old ******** but well worth a try.

And to tittilate the tastebuds even more of the gourmets on this site, what about, "Tripe," deep fried in batter, or maybe boiled in milk. Or how about the Creme de la Creme, Pickled tripe, on the bar counter, Sunday lunch time? along with the pickled onions and raw pieces of black pudding. We really know how to live up in this bit. Cheers, Albi.

Wilky,
I have not read all the postings, so forgive me if somebody has asked this question before.
At the start of this thead you mentioned that you had just had a few pints of "peroni".
What the h..l is peroni. What have I been missing?
Pat Baker.

Peroni Brewery (Birra Peroni), is a brewing company, founded in Vigevano in Lombardia, Italy in 1846. It is now based in Rome and is owned by SABMiller.

The company's main brand is Peroni, a 4.7% abv pale lager, while its premium lager is Nastro Azzurro at 5.1% abv.

ALSO: You can’t get much more Scottish than Haggis, can you? Well, despite its rich tradition in Scottish culture - from being celebrated by Rabbie Burns in his poem Address To A Haggis and the traditional dram that goes with it – it seems it’s not actually that Scottish.

According to research an early recipe for the dish was found in a book. The book’s name? The English Huswife.

Hi Pat , Keith as hit the nail on the head it is indeed an Italian lager, they have it on drought at one of my local watering holes. Unfortunately since I started this thread I`ve had to go on the wagon. Its bloody hard after a lifetime of drinking of which I served my drinking apprenticeship in the Merch. Its amazing this thread is still on the go, not bad for a humble black pudding. Thankyou one and all for contributing.

Wilky and Keith,
many thanks for your replies re. Peroni.
As it is lager I am not missing much as I cannot abide lager.
Wilky I am sorry to hear that you have been placed, forcibly, on the wagon.
Hope that things quickly improve for you and enable you to return to the bar.
Best regards to you both.
Cheers,
Pat Baker.
