Jonty Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 I've been meaning to try making black pudding for some time now.... just need to wait until the boss is going out long enough for me to clear up the inevitable carnage in the kitchen before she gets home 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking leave it for her to come in. blood drip trail along the hall, a bloody knife in the corridor, more pooling at the entrance to the kitchen. Then just before she can see you lie down in a nice pool of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too - I called in to my butchers earlier today, he’s got a pig coming in on Thursday and is going to put a couple of lbs of back fat aside for me.

Dougy Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) When I was in the butchers I kept a bottle of Hienz ketchup in the cooked meat fridge. It was for a ring of black pudding that I used to take slices off and a dollop of ketchup. Love the stuff.

It’s already cooked Mungler - it goes in the skins liquid and then you poach it so it’s cooked - the frying/grilling is not 100% necessary… that said - I far prefer mine cooked for a second time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always fried it off in a pan. And, no, I just can’t see myself eating it ‘mentally raw’ after all these years. Well I never. And I’m a big fan of it - condensed essence of meat right there.

The stuff in the "skin" is nowhere near as nice as from a butchers shop. A butchers not too far away from me you buy it in large slices 😋😋😋😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
