We where talking in the pub one day about black puddings and how we all enjoyed them. Thats when my mate from Bury, says you havent tasted black puddings till you,ve tried a Chadwicks black pudding from Bury market. Well that did it, the taste buds where flowing. I have just had a couple of weeks off work and last week three of us got into my car and headed across the pennines in search of the best black pudding in the world . We arrived at Bury market and went in search of Chadwicks, only to find their stall to be closed due to holidays. All was not lost there was a sign saying our black puddings are being sold two stalls down . We sampled a boiled one with English mustard , very nice . I bought a dozen to take home. Its probably the best black pudding I`ve had so far.I wonder if theres any better ones out there somewhere, I need your help. I probably wont get any replies to this thread but I would love to hear from anybody who likes black puddings and which ones you think are the best . Heres to black pudding lovers . ps Den do you think you could put them on the menue !
Hi Wilky hope all is well in your world mate. You are quite correct them black puddings sold in Bury market have won national awards for a number of years I know quite a few scousers who travel to Bury market just for the black puds themselves. There taste is unique Terry.

Re: Black Puddings
Somewhere on this thread I have mentioned the black puddings sold by the only Butchers shop in the village of Kippen, Stirlingshire. Until you have tried the ones they make on the premises you have never had black pudding, and I include Bury Black Pudding in that. Being a Scouser I always thought that the ones from Bury were to die for, but these surpass even those. When you go into the shop they always ask you do you want Stornaway puddings or our own. The Stornaway ones I find a bit on the sweet side, so give me Kippen any time.
Regards
John

Re: Black Puddings
Having tried secveral French ones where the filler can have onion , red wine , and other things added , and the Scottish and Irish varieties , I prefer the English ones with the small cubes of fat and a more peppery flavour , My personal favourite is the George Stafford ( http://www.georgestafford.co.uk/) slightly browner external colour

Re: Black Puddings
Hi Wilkie hope all is well with you. Thanks for a really good post which is still going strong. I did get a box of the real Bury Black Puddings from the late Young Jim. And Yes I marked them against my Real Scottish Haggis. Result Bury Black Puddings 8 out of 10, Real Scottish Haggis Yes! A great Big 10 out of 10 hahahaha.
It caused quite a laugh, they were great Days of lovely Banter and Wilkie 'thanks' your Post was one of the Best which I really enjoyed; as laughter makes the World a better place. Thanks again Darling.
Love and Hugs
