Black pudding is often consumed as part of a traditional full English breakfast or in a battered deep-fried form from some chip shops. I often have it as a hot snack when I fancy something warm and flavoursome. OK, some might think the idea of eating a 'blood sausage' is gross but really, it does not resemble the taste of blood at all.
I was given this chilli black pudding made by The Bury Black Pudding Company the other day - did not realise there are flavoured black pudding out there! You definitely learn something new everyday. Must give these bad boys a taste ASAP so I pan fried a few slices (5 minutes on each side, just to be sure!) straightaway...
They looked like ordinary black pudding but goodness, they were SPICY and I can usually take my spicy food pretty well! The chilli was so overpowering that you can barely taste the black pudding itself which was rather disappointing. Nonetheless, the good thing about these is it contains only 3% of fat and I must say it really did not release as much oil as other black pudding I have tried.
It is good to try new things out but I think I will stick with original flavoured black pudding from my local butcher.
