What's The Deal About Black Pudding?

I think ‘gross’ in my head about black pudding but don’t judge caus I like lamb’s fry (liver). I think, until you try something yourself, it can seem disgusting or weird. Who would have thought oysters or snails (escargots) would have been yummy the first time but they are - and they are expensive and considered a delicacy!! As long as things are healthy I say go for it and embrace it/laugh/shrug it off when people criticise.

I agree… I like black pudding and when people say ‘ gross, how can you eat that?’ I feel like I’m an alien or something but really I think it is the same concept as eating pork, ground beef, etc.

I agree with you. I love black pudding and always feel weird when people say “Euuuwww” but I think its one of those areas where if you think about something too much, you can’t eat it. LOL.

We turn our noses up because some cultures eat every part of the pig, all the way from the tail to the hoof… but we don’t hesitate to chow down on a crispy bacon sandwich with home grown tomatoes. We simply don’t want to be reminded that we’re eating an animal, so it it’s shaped like a rectangle it’s ok. And the same with blood. The word reminds us of horrible things. In fact. I remember refusing to eat “blood oranges” when I was small. I knew it wasn’t blood, but calling them that was over the top, for me… mind you, I was 7.

I mentioned to one of my kids once that gravy was made from blood… (meat juices) There were loud screams about it for a while but she still loves gravy.

all of your statements are bias cause you guys “like black pudding”…its blood people…blood…so why dont you just drink it…its boiled blood,,,placed to boil in the intestine of the pig…just think about drinking a glass of blood…well eating black pudding thats exactly what you are doing…I use to eat it an I love it…but just considering what it was I stay away from it cause it’s very tempting…
