I made a huge fuss about black pudding for ages. Eventually my wife gave in and we had a fry up. Sadly, it just wasn't as I remember it from when I was a child. It seems now to just be full of fat and gristle which really puts me off now. Has it always been like this or were my parents getting all the nasties out for me before I could hold a knife and fork properly?

Shite black pudding is out there... on supermarket shelves. Find a butcher that makes his own... different world.

Ta, I'm no expert but it should have some fat

Seems to be half the point doesn't it... it needs small cubes of fat through the blood / meal mixture for real flavour.

I see one of our Eastern European brothers has joined in! They're not shy about blood sausage in the rest of Europe. Waste not, want not, I believe blood sausage is a staple in some eastern Euro countries. I had a nice bit in Andalucia last week in fact, kind of a red wine / blood chorizo. Nice.
 
Food of the Gods.

Butcher very near my work gets a mention here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.rickstein.com/Poultry-and-Meat.html">http://www.rickstein.com/Poultry-and-Meat.html</a><!-- m --> Stafford's.

Passing a chip shop last night and remembering this thread I nipped in and got a deep fried haggis in batter.

Craving satisfied for this week!

The battered jumbo haggis is a thing of beauty :D

Do they do mail order? You could probably light it and it would get here on its very own.

Never tried haggis, but if it's mentioned in a black pudding thread I think I'll have to give it a go.

It's nice enough, but make sure you have all the trimmings. Mix a bit of haggis with a bit of tattie and a bit of neep, a drop of whisky sauce, and the whole shebang goes on an oatcake. Lovely. Haggis on it's own or battered is a bit ordinary... even butchers ones. Can be very peppery too.
