Black Puddings

[Colin Pook]

Before I got married and settled down in W. Wales, I had never even heard of 'black pudding', let alone eaten it, till the day my bride served it up for dinner. How can any civilised person scoff such rubbish? Being a proud Englishman, my staple diet was/is 'pussers peas, mash tato and pork bangers --luvverly grub!

The only black pudding I enjoyed came from the 'Captains Cabin' in Kingston---I enjoyed it, but I didn't EAT it

Only thing worse than black pudding is chidlings, and i am not sure i have even spelt it right. Guys at work used to have to clean then before eating, i gladly donated my share, KT

Chitterling is a Middle English (1000-1400 AD) word for the small intestines of pigs, especially as they are fried or steamed for food. A 1743 English cookery book The Lady's Companion: or, An Infallible Guide to the Fair Sex contained a recipe for 'Calf's Chitterlings', and so the term 'chitterling' could be applied to any intestine, not just those of pigs. The recipe explained the use of calf's intestines in the recipe, which was similar to black pudding (the intestines were stuffed) with the comment that "these sort of ... puddings must be made in summer, when hogs are seldom killed." This recipe was repeated by the English cookery writer Hannah Glasse in her 1784 cookery book Art of Cookery.

But for all that, not my cup of tea.

Hi darling,

The whiskey flame will shine brightly on it when I light the haggis before we eat it.

chitterlings are enjoyed by people in the deep south of US.mainly poor coloured people .Usually deep fried(chittelings not the people)

I once asked my butcher why he got into the trade and said he always wanted to see his name in lights(think about it)

Black Pudding is pretty easy to get hold of in Limerick. I was looking for one that would break up easy. This more or less ruled out a butchers as butcher-made black pudding tends to be pretty indestructible - probably because most people "shallow" fry it as part of the morning-after-breakfast ritual. Shaws Black Pudding has no artificial additive or preservatives, and is a local prdouct. I didn't get to test how easily it broke up in the supermarket and my constant poking at and bending of different black puddings was drawing attention. So I decided to take a chance and luckily it broke up nicely. I added some Spanish Paprika and Black Pepper to my broken up Black Pudding - Haggis is spicier than Black Pudding so I wanted to knock that up a notch as well.
