I haven't had it for years (I have Keith Floyd to thank for the introduction), but it works really well in my opinion@Jolipapa tells me it's very traditional in France, where the Boudin Noir is extremely good in my experience

I agree! The best is when homemade of course. The picture was taken some years ago during a Norton meeting in the Morvan. I wonder how many meters of freshly made hot black pudding were swallowed before dinner! Happily we had the local melon (grape's name) to help it go down.
Dare I say, it was bl...y good!

Christmas time, is white pudding time (boudin blanc), made either with white meat or bread crumbs, plain or with pieces of black truffles, dry land fish or horn of plenty.
A good opportunity to introduce you to my 2nd Anniversary gift from my Son, a Salmon 85, quite solid, just two tiny drops of black on the sides near the bolster! Surprising at first sight, now I'm fond of it, certainly not many made like that!

I've never eaten, or even seen black pudding, and I didn't think discussion of "tatties n nips" was allowed in this forum.![]()
Ha! I was just kidding, 'taters & 'snips sound good. I grew up eating kosher, so anything made with blood was forbidden. Black pudding doesn't sound very appetizing to me, but I'm willing to try new things. I want to try haggis someday, just to see if it's as bad as I've heard.Now steady yourself young ladyit's unfortunately nothing more exciting than mashed spuds and parsnips.

That's more like it RachelHa! I was just kidding, 'taters & 'snips sound good. I grew up eating kosher, so anything made with blood was forbidden. Black pudding doesn't sound very appetizing to me, but I'm willing to try new things. I want to try haggis someday, just to see if it's as bad as I've heard.I guess poor folk the world 'round make some sort of sausage with the meat stretched with grain. In Louisiana, they eat boudin, which has rice, and we used to eat kishke, which is some sort of flour meal, schmaltz and spices.
To keep things on topic, here's a lambsfoot with some good old Texas barbeque.

That's more like it Rachelthat Blutwurst doesn't crank my motor. When I was an apprentice butcher, the owner of the shop made the sausages at that time. In order to get the correct amount of spices Albert would taste the raw pork blood then spit it out
Then exclaim das ist gut!![]()
Central Texas was settled by many Germans and Czechs, so sausage is taken seriously around here. The best BBQ restaurants make their own, and it's always a good sign if you see the employees who made the sausages in the morning are eating it at lunchtime.
Man, you just can't beat good old Texas Barbecue! Brisket, turkey, onions, and jalapeños. All you need is the sausage!Ha! I was just kidding, 'taters & 'snips sound good.
