I was wondering if anyone had heard of Black Pudding? If not then can anyone guess what it is?

Nope, Its a bit of a British speciality, if you ever come over here and get a full english breakfast you may well get some Black Pudding with it!

But if you knew what it was you would never eat it!

Had to google it


Black pudding is boiled pig's blood in a length of intestine. In the UK our puddings are usually bound with cereal with suet or cubes of fat added. European puddings are lighter because they are often made with cream instead of cereals.


Black pudding is especially popular in Northern England, Scotland and Ireland. The heartland for black puddings must be Lancashire. The World Black Pudding throwing Competition takes place every year in Bury, the object is to throw puddings at a row of Yorkshire Puddings on a wall and knock off as many as possible!


A Black Pudding Fair is also held each year in Mortagne au Perche in Normandy, France and over 5 km of pudding are consumed!


Black pudding is growing in popularity and is appearing on a number of restaurant menus. It combines very well with pork, lamb, fish (scallops, oysters, squid, muscles) and fruit (apples, pears, grapes, rhubarb). Lishmans of Ilkley made a superb ‘restaurant’ pudding which contains fruit. Our recipe section contains several recipes and more will be added on a regular basis.


Keep an eye out for pork and black pudding sausages such as those made by Lishmans of Ilkley and Elite Meat of Harrogate.

JD-


Mincemeat

Mincemeat was originally a medieval (England) sweet, spicy mixture of chopped (minced) lean meat (usually beef, or beef tongue), suet and fruit. It was generally served as an entree. Gradually the meat content was reduced, and today the mixture contains nuts, dried fruit (raisins, apples, pears, citrus peel, etc.), beef suet, spices and brandy or rum, but no beef.  Mincemeat is used primarily in pies and tarts.

Lutefisk is fish soaked in lye. It's consistency is like a gelatin.

Yowza... thanks for the info.  I believe I'll just bypass the black pudding and lutefisk should I ever see them on a menu.  I make it a policy to avoid foods comprised of digestive tract segments. Also not particularly keen on the idea of tasting something that might be tasting me back!

I have a philosophy that I will try anything once if you don't tell me what it is first. But no, I have not tasted lutefisk.

I liked it, until they told me what it was.  I then visited the lieu for a wee bit.  Washed my mouth out with a lot of JD.
