Try the ones made of goose blood, they are the food of the gods . But all are yummy
It's funny how each country claims a sort of ownership over black pudding. The Italians claim that they make the best black pudding, as do the Irish, and the Welsh. Featured on 'Food Heroes', Austen of Border County Foods makes classic Cumberland sausages from rare breed pork. He also makes black pudding with fresh blood, instead of the dried powdered type normally used, and he says that this makes a huge difference to the flavour. Available by mail order. K.
In Ireland they also have White Pudding but have no idea what it is made from. Maybe they bleach the pigs blood?
Funny how a post on 'Black Puddings' gets 13800 hits, 242 replies and 25 pages and yet nautical subjects will be lucky if they achieve 2/300 hits and 20 replies, just an observation.

Earlier versions (pre-1990) often had sheep's brain added as a binding agent. A similar pudding, known as Hog's pudding, is made in Somerset, Cornwall and Devon though it is much spicier than white pudding, as it contains black pepper, cumin, basil, and garlic.
In Scotland, white pudding can also be known as mealy pudding and does not always take the form of a sausage. It consists of suet, oatmeal, onions, and spices. Some versions of Scottish white pudding are suitable for vegans, in that they contain no animal fat, vegetable fat being used instead.

Re #244 maybe some old seafarers. Just like a bit of sausage in the morning ,

Myself I believe in 2010 due to something called PC which I do not fully understand (maybe someone can explain it) the laughter went out for me and a few others. Black Pudding versus Haggis was a great Post for which I personally have fond memories; similar posts seemed to disappear, so I decided to stop and just browse and maybe join in if I found it funny or interesting. Sorry as never having been at sea I only know of that life from my Husband Ken who told me of his experiences so cannot join in on anything nautical. I believe a lot in laughter making people forget their troubles and making the world a happier place. Hope this helps you understand the difference.
Take care.
God Bless
