Well I never. Black pudding deemed a healthy option. Lava bread and black pudding for breakfast anyone?

I shall send my posse out.

Where I live in a borough of London we have ONLY Hal Al butchers on the high street. No problem here getting oxtail,Tripe, sheep heads etc. Try finding me a piece of belly pork. Forget it :-(

[Mamyalynne]

That's not fair at all - plenty Halal butchers here in Bolton, will source Oxtail, ta.

I have to fight him for the shin, though. He uses that for the steak pies he sells in his shop.

[Mamyalynne]

I make my pies with shin too - my Grandson made them World famous on his blog some years ago, lol.

I get goat from my local ethnic butcher. I can't understand why it's not more popular

[hc4361]

Mamya, has to be shin for a beefy pie. Nothing else will do

[Mamyalynne]

Goat makes the best curry.

hc got BA for being there from first post.
Apology to you hopkirk. As you can see from the posts earlier I could have responded to the post that I chose, actually being a spoof at the time it was put on the net, I did decide not to. I read the article in the Mail this morning whilst on my paper round.

[hc4361]

I'm getting hungry now

Goat is another meat readily available around my parts. Lovely for curry,especiallywith white rum and scotch bonnet chilli. Jamaican style.
Not to popular with a lot because the bones are a bit sharp and splintery. Bit Greasy as well.

Those lumps of white always looked more than 3% to me.

[Hopkirk]

It doesn't become true just because the Daily Mail fell for it!

[waterboatman]

Of course it is! White pudding too. Soda bread is the king.

Close to the full set then :-)

[waterboatman]

Togo, not one of those is 'proper' black pudding. It shouldn't have big lumps of fat in it. It should be dark brown and smooth. White pudding, of course, should be white and smooth.

[Togo]

I must confess Boaty that I prefer the puddings that have less fat particularly to eat cold. The ones with the fat have to be grilled for me.

[waterboatman]

Can't argue with that mate. My butcher round the corner does both.

The smooth one is much thicker, and with a little drop of extra virgin olive oil can be used as a paté. Very nice it is too.

It's mostly sold pre-sliced here now. Could the older style ones in a sausage type skin have been boiled or steamed?
