You must try the 'Stornoway' variety
Far superior to the anonymous black discs that usually masquerade as quality blood sausage. Plus if you buy the whole pudding as such, you can cut it to your desired thickness. Nothing beats a few thin crispy slices alongside a more substantial 'doorstep'.

Nice. They do white pudding as well by the look of it - delicious. I am going to order some from them.
We buy black pudding from a farm shop - lovely served with duck eggs.

Me too. Some of the best food I have ever had was in Ireland.

I had a fantastic Lasagne over there
Far worse for me than any I've eaten since, loads of cheese in the sauce, but my god, it was tasty!

The quality of the fish and meat in Ireland cannot be beaten (except the wagu steak I had once)

Scotland's beef is astonishing too
There's a place in Glasgow that serves Kobe beef in a burger, I'm going to have to give that a try at some point methinks...

Horse steak is also a winner - there is a french restaurant in Edinburgh that does it - superb.

I've never been to Edinburgh, am thinking of spending new year 2011-2012 there.

Gaz me before you do - the gf is from there & we spend quite a lot of time there with her family so I know it reasonably well.
I will tell you about some decent pubs, bars and restaurants.

what's white pudding made of?
I can't be arsed googling
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 9:45, Reply)

tripe, seasoning and a little ground oatmeal (I think)

(lkjshaglkasjdhglkhjz lkcvl; g;aodh;owih, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 9:47, Reply)

I thought it was using fat rather than blood?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 9:50, Reply)

There is fat in it, but I think tripe is the main ingredient. Some contain minced pork too.

Either way, tasty as fook
I prefer it to Black Pudding. Black pudding should be grilled, not fried damnit!

I fully endorse this post.
Stornaway black pudding FTW.
