Is it still there? I find myself daydreaming of a lean one swimming in vinegar!

The Best!!! Yes.

£1.10 and very filling one portion was enough for me the other day...

Unbelievable value for a world class local product.

You can buy them for pence on Burnley market and eat them with vinegar or you can find them for £20+ served with scallops in a trendy restaurant.

Both are nice but one wins hands-down on value for money.

Burnley should make a lot more fuss about it's black puddings. Bury market can take a hike.

Not wrong! I can get slices of Bury Black Pudding here from Iceland, but it just isn't the same.

They don't travel well.

Yes.... Bury ...Iceland and on to Prague is a fair trip!

Funkydrummer wrote:They don't travel well.

I used to buy them up in wintertime and take them home after a matchday.

I'd have to keep them in the boot of the car whilst the match was on, hence wintertime, but when they were back home they froze perfectly well and kept for months.

Black puddings made in Haslingden( RS Ireland ) wipe the floor with your Burnley AND Bury black puddings

Bollo x Haggis muncher........

I apologise for being a black pudding traitor to both my county and country, but best black pudding I've had is from Stornoway (Charles MacLeod).

Unless I’m mistaken, the black pudding sold on Burnley markets (at Donald Smith’s) are RS Ireland’s anyway.

I remember as a child walking round the open market outside the old market hall: my mum would buy us a black pudding each, which we ate with plenty of vinegar. They cost threpence each (an old threpenny bit), which I reckon is roughly one and a quarter pence in today's money. Once we had eaten them, we wiped our hands on a dirty, well used cloth, which hung on a nail on the stall. No health and safety in those days. Happy memories.

Thats exactly what they sell on the burnley market.

Correct

This is what they should be serving up at Turf Moor!

Along with pickled eggs.

Does the club sell Benedictine?

Great Idea! But they'd probably charge £4

And chips. I’d love a bag of proper chips at half time.

I think your Black pudding idea would be a winner on Turf moor.... If they priced it right.

Got to have it with mustard tho

I can remember as a kid my Grandad used to buy a Black Pudding before the games from a stall outside Turf Moor on Brunshaw Road. I think there might have been more than one stall.

Haslingden,formerly Waterfoot made black pudding then,not Burnley ones.

Been recommended this BB,are they dry like most Scottish black pudding?

I developed a deep nostalgic yearning for a Burnley Market black pud. The problem being that I live in the USA. So I decided to make my own. The problem then being that my butcher said it's illegal to sell animal blood for human consumption. But he said if you ask me to sell you some chum for shark fishing, I'm allowed to sell you that. So I said can you sell me some shark chum? And he sold me a 5 gallon bucket of blood for $10. They turned out fantastic, exactly as I remembered.

Ekkkkk.all that blood think I'll leave it to the professional's

If you are sqeamish about blood you wouldn't have wanted to be in Watterfooit on a cold night in the 1980's when the blood vat at the black pudding factory developed a leak and the blood seeped out through the factory doors and down the road before freezing in to a bloody ice rink! They had to call the fire brigade to swill it away. True story!

I think that round here there are only two black pudding makers going now, RS Ireland and the Bury Black Pudding Company. There used to be a guy in Walsden who sold them on Tod market, but he's long since disappeared. He won a national championship and was telling me they got up to all sorts of tricks to try to win, including Brylcreaming the puddings to give them a special shine!

A little research reveals that there are more producers still on the go than I thought. I'd missed Chadwicks of Bury, the Real Lancashire Black Pudding Company in Rossendale and a recent newcomer Porcus of Todmorden! So there you go.

Can any Rossendalians on here remember Tom the Fed....think when his police career ended he took to making black puddings in Waterfoot.,near Ingham's box works

Think Chadwicks make their pudding in Waterfoot,or they did at one time.

Oh, that dirty cloth on the nail. It was beyond dirty but everyone used it to wipe their hands when they'd finished eating the black pudding. Me and my dad used to have one every week.

CHadwicks in Bury actually used to supply ( probsby /possibly still do ) most of the black pudding stalls in the area inc Burnley /Blackburn /Accy/Preston etc .

It’s the food of the gods either par boiled or fried , though anything but English mustard would be poor form , as for vinegar wtf would anyone destroy the flavour of it with that ! Jesus wept ! Vinegar was for tripe

Given the choice of food at the Turf is considerably less than it was over 40 years ago, I don't seem them bringing in black pudding. As for pricing it right, haven't we already had the Twix thread?

Mary Chadwick (of Chadwick's of Bury) used to sit next to me at primary school in Waterfoot. She went on to take over the business I think and maybe is still involved. I don't know.

I’m guessing they won’t return because they could be thrown.

Most would expect them served in a tray complete with fork and condiments for about a £1! which is the reason we’ll never see black pud on the turf ( imo )

Sold from the Gifton Noel Williams kiosk.

Already mentioned by at least a couple of posters but - a cherished childhood memory of mine is eating black pudding from a stall on the open market outside the old market hall.
My mam, dad, me and sister used to go into town shopping Saturday early, when most of the shopping was done my ma & sis used to do some "girlie shopping" whilst me and dad went and had a black pud. There were at least a couple of stalls I think (additional to a couple of tripe/offal stalls).
There were two big steamy vats and you could get fatty or lean puds (the lean ones were pretty fatty) you got them (cut through) on a little plate/ saucer. Vinegar, salt, mustard were the available condiments, you ate them with your fingers and, yes, that towel that you could wipe your fingers on was undoubtedly a health hazard. I also have a recollection of the pudding skins being deposited under the skirt of the stall.
Great bonding and culinary experience.

I can almost taste the puddings having written that.

I used to go with my Dad for puddings on the outside market and well remember the dirty cloth. Also remember that my Dad went to a stall across that he called Barmy Micks where he bought several packets of razor blades at a knock down price.

Was that in Nelson or did the Barmy Micks empire stretch as far as Burnley!

Steve, they are dryer than Lancs black pud, but they are very good. The best I've had. I've found out that a butcher in Middleton sells them. I might call off the next time I'm in Manchester.

Oooh, I'll have to get some Porcus black pud. Their pork soss are great.

George's the butcher on Lyndhurst rd sells them. Very good they are too.

Mary still stands the market in Bury,still think the puddings are made in Waterfoot though.

.It was on Burnley open market his stall was on the Standish Street side of the market..
He probably did both markets if the same guy.
