Black Pudding

[AndrewJB]

Black Pudding Salad:

Mixed lettuce leaves (romaine and rocket), shavings of red onion, halved plum tomatoes, avocado, radish, and cucumber, topped with two slices of black pudding and a poached egg. Dress with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Black Pudding Ka Pro:

Cook black pudding with green peppers and onion. Make a curry paste with a stick of lemongrass, hot chillies, and garlic in a pestle and mortar. Stir this in with the other ingredients and add Thai Sweet Basil leaves and Nam Pla (fish sauce). Serve with Thai jasmine rice.

[Stalbansclaret]

Sound tremendous. New uses for the food of the Gods.

[mdd2]

Sounds good.

[FactualFrank]

I don't think I've ever had lemongrass in my kitchen, and if I bought some, I'd end up never using it again, like with so many other recipes.

This is the problem with cookbooks and recipes. There's a hole in the market for a book that will have recipes such as...

1. Buy some fish from Tesco
2. Throw it in the oven with frozen chips
3. Take out and add a bit of cucumber, lettuce and tomato
4. The end.

Black pudding Tower....

One of the starters at our local...

Slices of black pudding layered with crispy bacon on a bed of salad with mustard sauce .......

Mmmmmmmmm lovely (only for the hearty eater as a starter though as its a meal in itself )

[ŽižkovClaret]

Went to a pub up on the hills above Darwen near a Drum shop, and they did black pud options for starter main and dessert.

Black pud in sweet batter with cranberry dip was surprisingly tasty

[ClaretTony]

I love black pudding

[MACCA]

Going to have black pudding bon buns for starters before the Pendle Pie on my visit to the Pendle Inn this evening

[mdd2]

And Pendle pie is, Macca?

[Colburn_Claret]

I'm a lover of Black Pudding as well, but how long before we have to change the name to Blood Sausage. It can only be a matter of time before it hits the woke radar.

To be fair that is what they already call it over here. More for descriptive purposes than owt else

[bobinho]

Food of the gods, and no mistake.

That first ones getting tried, minus the rocket obviously, cos that’s just wrong.

[Swizzlestick]

Local Italian does black pudding and salami, pan-fried with balsamic vinegar, topped with caramelised onions and served on toasted bread.

It is glorious.

[MACCA]

And Pendle pie is, Macca?

Pendle pie - steak and ale topped with cheesy mash with chips and vegetables

[MACCA]

Oops not bon bons tonight, they're from bistro 197 not Pendle in, tonight I'm on...

Bury black pudding fritters with apple and ale chutney

Never heard of a Pendle pie but it sounds like something I need to try.

[ClaretDiver]

Curious as to how you came up with the Ka Pro recipe?

Who said gourmet cooking was a fad, eh Frank?

Black puddings matter!

[DCWat]

Black pudding with scallops, pancetta and a pea purée - got to be one of my favourite starters.

To be fair you can usually buy a stick of lemongrass from any supermarket for a single use, so it’s not the kind of ingredient you would have left around.

Just through leftovers.

[ClaretDiver]

I was wondering as in all my time living in Thailand I never came across this...I shall be trying it though!

[MACCA]

It'll be my first attempt too, I'll report back with my findings

If it says rocket, I always use good old British watercress instead.......much underrated salad crop & better for you than rocket

[mdd2]

Puddings of colour surely

[Quickenthetempo]

When I was in Tenerife earlier this year they had black pudding in a spanish style potato dish.

It was tremendous.

[Vino blanco]

The black puddings you see in Spain are called morcillas (mortheeyas) and the gastronomic centre for them is Burgos in the North, so they are often referred to as morcillas de Burgos. They are, indeed, delicious and I have them regularly as a tapa, sometimes served in a light mustard sauce.

[Eloise Laws]

Black pudding, topped with Crispy Pancetta, Poached Egg and a good dollop of mustard sauce....throw a bit of rocket around if you need ‘green’

[ClaretTony]

Nice with a poached egg

[JohnMac]

Had Black Pudding in Carralejo at an Argentine Steak House.

The owner came over after learning of my order, greeted me heartily and went backstage to ensure it was done to perfection.

It was served whole in it's skin, proper job

[FactualFrank]

Black puddings matter!

All puddings matter.

[gawthorpe_view]

Chicken breast stuffed with black pudding is very nice.
Add bacon, mustard, beef tomato slices plus whatever takes your fancy.

Using pork fillet to replace the chicken breast in your recipe is a dish my wife makes occasionally & is very very tasty

[TommyJohnson]

Don Smith's used to do a cracking black pudding on Burnley Market Hall, think cricket fields partner used to work there but could be wrong.

[Foreverly Claret]

Haven't been for a while but Stubbing Wharf do a Black Pudding and Goats Cheese tower with a salad garnish dressed with some Balsamic concoction .it's a starter but my wife always has it as a main course...absolutely delicious...and very filling .Usually have it on the way over to the match and I have tuna and Cheese melt...best I've ever tasted.

The best black pudding I have ever had was on Burnley open market on Monday afternoons on the way home from school....memories.

That's where I developed my liking for black pudding. Me and my dad used to have a nice fatty one on a Saturday morning.

Ah, the healthy option eh ?

Going to be giving it a go mind !!

[RingoMcCartney]

Black pud. So wrong yet so right.

[MACCA]

Ah, the healthy option eh ?

Going to be giving it a go mind !!

Whilst trying to serve the country, the fried black pudding starter, is there a point worrying about the calories of the main course?

I'm just helping out where I can

[Croydon Claret]

The proper black puds from the market/butchers are fab, especially the fatty ones.

That sliced nonsense you get from supermarkets is a poor imitation. Sadly it's all you can get down here

Always absolutely drown them in vinegar, then add some more vinegar to be sure.

Used to smear them with mustard but haven't tried that in a long time.

Anybody use anything apart from vinegar/mustard?

[BenWickes]

My wife can eat a whole sausage by herself. No need for smut chaps
We get the market ones locally produced not the supermarket ones. I only usually get one slice with a big fry up. Namely because she picks them out of the frying pan as I'm cooking.

Same issue here. I can get packs of 4 slices of Bury Black pud and im grateful, but it aint the same.

Like mustard on them but you can't beat vinegar

[mdd2]

Talking of mustard have you tried grainy mustard in mashed spuds, really tasty with bangers and onion gravy.
As my wife says "you can take the boy out of Burnley but not the Burnley out of the boy!!"
