after a nice walk down memory lane as a kid with the Superquinn Sausages thread it got me to thinking about the other stuff that reminds me of breakfast as a child.
This pudding is made by a small butcher but its not close to where i live now. Id love to be able to make a simular product for when i get my own pigs back, I have a couple recipes ive used with varying success but id like to try give this one a whirl if possible
So without further Adieu......
Ok so starting with white Pudding
this i definable a predominantly pork liver product (perhaps even from a decendant from a German Liver sausage). its firm enough to the touch when cold but once cooked it get a lovey hard texture on the surface but very wet and maluable texture like pate and course on the mouth too like pate. flavours are simple enough, stong liver taste (almost a metalic flavor) but salt and LOADS of white pepper which is right up my street.

Next Black Pudding
Ok, like the white pudding this has similar charostoristics when it comes to texture. its soft enough when cold, would crumble easy enough between your fingures but firm enough to retain its shape in the natural beef casing. when cooked its like the white, gets a nice hard surface but spreads very easily. Im guesseing there is little to no liver in this or at least none that is detectable immediately. on the mouth it feels more bread crumb texture in the mix, backfat content is high and has pearled barley (But works well) main flavouring here is allspice, white pepper and salt.

So their you go, its a really great pudding in my opinion and ticks the flavour and texture boxes i like in a pudding. any help would be appreciated
Thanks!
