Oh please! Don't lets have a long discussion on black pudding which is not a pudding at all. Tattie scones are yummy but black pudding is positively disgusting, at least the sort that was dished up with monotonous regularity at one boarding school I attended just outside Carlisle. Just the thought of it brings back all the old memories. I think we smothered the black pudding with tinned marmalade to reduce the dryness and hide the flavour. Ugh! Give me a snagger on the barbie any day.

Olde English but probably basically the same.  I can't really bring myself to type it out.  It is sausage - like and then cut into slices.  You can also get white pudding, and haggis can also be sliced and fried. Merry Christmas to every one and may we have a more peaceful New Year of 2011 Diana ________________________________ From: Joan Whitney <[email protected]> To: Diana Henry <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, December 15, 2010 6:06:27 PM Subject: Re: [WIG LIST] RE TATTIE SCONS please, for those of us who don't have a clue, what IS black pudding?  My grandfather was born in Strenraer in 1888 and died in Oregon, USA when I was 8 years old.  Nothing much Scottish trickled down- although we did have pasty three or four times a month and is still one of my favorites altho grandmother made it with ----ground beef.  Thanks.
