A full blown, true blue 100% Saturday morning fry up, made by my Uncle Alex;
Looked on by his loving wife my Aunty Ruth.
Uncle Alex is my brother's mum, and lives a 5 minute walk down the street from where I am staying.
What is black pudding you ask? A type of sausage made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. It is also called blood sausage. Usually pigs or cows blood is used.
Well, I had to be polite...
...and I must say it wasn't so bad.
Initially I thought it would be like the coagulated pigs blood we get in our kari mee, but its not! Its totally different, doesn't taste like blood at all and honestly if I wasn't told what was in it I couldn't have guessed.
Doesn't mean I will be eating it all the time though.
