Black Pudding - Is it food or punishment?

Ok everyone.. time to suck down some black pudding! ;D or :'(?

 

Um...by "black" pudding do we mean "chocolate"?

no, it's a British food item.. google it for what's inside.

 

Oh no! Not more black pudding! Lol. ;D

 

Ahhhhh!!!! I went to wikipedia and its 2 names are black pudding and blood pudding! How did this black pudding thing start first!? Did the person actually eat it?

 

no, it's a British food item.. google it for what's inside.

Ok, just did that.  All I can say is...What the #*&@???!!!


Edit: This must be the real reason for the Revolutionary War! I'd definitely be up for joining a revolt against anyone promoting that nonsense!

 

black pudding.......blood pudding.......blood sausage.....yum....jk

 

Food, definitely. Yum!

 

Food, definitely. Yum!

Ahhhhh!!!!!!

 

Yuck!! Blood pudding sickening!!!!

 

Check out the poll results. Sounds like a defeat for the black pudding defenders. Bah! Do you guys know the advert for Marmite (a really bitter brown yeast spread that you put your bread for breakfast). Yummie! I guess only the Aussies and the Brits will have heard of it (well, Vegemite in Oz). Doubt it'll have made it anywhere else in the world.

Anyway, there was this really cool marketing campaign in Britain and they sold t-shirts that said: 'Marmite, my mate' or 'Marmite, I hate'. It was quite the craze, as people were choosing camps all over the nation!  ;D

Black pudding is a bit like this according to this poll: noone feels tepid about it. It's either I hate, or my mate.

 

:-X

I've been known to eat just about anything, but even I have my limits....

 

yea.. it's up there with escargo and swallow's nest in my book.

 

OK, now escargot I won't argue. How anybody can eat that is beyond me.

What about andouilettes? Lyon (France) is THE official gastronomical city of the world. We had a project there and it was a nightmare. We were forced to choose between eyes, intestines (the famous andouillettes), heart, brains, etc. Thank god I became a veggie!

The andouilettes tasted like s***. Literally.

I find it amusing that the french have this reputation for fine food, but have the most disgusting dishes in the world! the middle ages is over people, we don't need to eat snails and eyes and brains and such to survive now, better food is available! : True, there are some very nice desserts in french cuisine, but there are so many horrid, nasty, vile dishes also.. I would NOT classify it as the premiere cuisine in the world.

 

Yeah, I totally see what you mean! But nice French food is delicious. They just know how to present stuff soooo well, IMO. One of my favorite cuisine is Thai, oh, and Indian. Mmmmmh, Indiaaaaan (again, Homer seeing donut sound). Oh, and can't beat a good pizza of course. Oh, and Yorkshire pudding! Mmmmh.

 

lol.. I favour italian cuisine, english and chinese and seafood of various types.

 

English?

Totally with you on the Italian, although I like a pretentious dinner once in a while and Italian just doesn't really cut it for that. It always looks like canteen food, no matter how nicely presented. But Italian really hits the spot 6 nights/week!

I could never stand seafood. Emotional attachment to fish aside, even. Just doesn't do it for me.

I am getting a little tired of Chinese as we live next to one and that's what we get when we can't be bothered to cook which, with the fish at the moment, is just about all the time. But I used to love it.

 

English?

yea, meat pies, fish & chips, bangers & mash, etc.. I guess I just feel like I want food that tastes good, fills me up and screw presentation.. that does nothing for my stomach. I like chinese, but sometimes the cat meat upsets my stomach.

 

he he he. But by eating cat, you're helping fish! So you're actually doing a good deed (to make up for the fact that you eat fish and chips which is not helping fish!)

 

lol. just read this. Dave, why does everything with you come back to black pudding eventually?!

Gwenz ;D

P.S. - I think its horrible. :-X

perhaps as a child I was frightened by a dish of it.

 

hehe. lol

Gwenz ;D

 

I had a childhood food-related trauma. I thought a piece of liver was chocolate mousse, so I went for it with my spoon and YAK, it was all wobbly!!!!

That is an incredibly cruel thing to do to a child! all set for chocolate mousse and instead bite into liver!! the deep, tearing disappointment, the confused tastebuds. I hope your spoon saved your life there by keeping you from eating it.

 

You nailed it. Still seeing a shrink about it. She's hypnothised me and all I could say was 'Wobbly. Wobbbbbbly! WOOOOOOBBBBBLLLY!!!!'. They always have to wake me up then or my nose starts bleeding.

P.S. Get me out of the box?

lol.. that's pretty terrifying.. liver pudding.. maybe that's related to black pudding?

 

he he he. Taht's what they should call that forming psychological experience: the liver pudding initiation ritual.

This keeps on getting better and better!!!!!!!!!! ;D

 

Can you believe I'm the only one who answered 'yum, the food of gods' in this survey? Where are my fellow black pudding lovers? Any Brits out there?

lol.. it seems there is plenty of black pudding for you. I know some Brits must like it for them to keep making it, but you're the first that I've talked to who does.

 

Well actually I can't even consume it as am a veggie, but I used to love it. So I guess I am an honorary black pudding afficionado! Oh, and am Belgian, but lived in UK my whole adult life before moving to Holland (to compllicate things further).

lol.. I see.. so a Belgian vegetarian gives black pudding it's one TOP vote, eh?

 

ha ha ha ha! Why does anything with the word 'belgian' in it sound instantly funny? Actually, am a french-speaking belgian, and these are callled..... Walloons. Now talk about funny names.

so you're a french-speaking Belgian vegetarian who says that the english meat dish of black pudding is yummy.. !

 

You got it! But I don't really consider myself Belgian. Deifnitely not Dutch either. I guess am more English than anythign else. I know that when I travel, that's what I always compare things to. UK living/culture/call it what you want is my idea of 'normal' and my point of reference. It's a bit awkward at times as people don't realise I speak French and it leads to very funny situations when they think they've got a secret language. My Dutch is so poor that that will never be an issue!
