What iis blood pudding heard people eat it?!


Question: My grandmother used to make this all the time and my father loved it. I, however, never could acquire a taste for it, even though I didn't know what it was for many years. It is made in many countries, including Portugal and it's territories and goes by different names.

This from Wikipedia:

Black pudding or less often blood pudding is a sausage made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. The term blood sausage (first attested in 1868) is a North American term that may be a translation from German "Blutwurst". Blood sausage has become a useful term for similar blood-based solid foods around the world.

Pig or cattle blood is most often used; sheep and goat blood are used to a lesser extent. Blood from poultry, horses and other animals are used more rarely. Typical fillers include meat, fat, suet, bread, sweet potato, barley and oatmeal.

I am going to throw up after reading the answer.

pigs blood boiled and mixed with stuff to bind it all together.

its quite common on a UK Full English Breakfast.

Yes, there's a type of Hungarian sausage called "hurka" where they take salted pig's blood, mix it with rice, stuff it into a section of the pig's intestine, then cook it. Scottish "haggis" is made in a similar fashion. Yummy!

MIchael H, where ya been?

Blood pudding is mostly made from blood sausage and it is very dark, most of the time it contains a lot of animal blood though. It is kind of in a sense like hog's head cheese but it uses more things from the animal.

Blood mixed with fat and I think it has oats in it too.
Isn't it wrapped in fox's intestines?
It's nice :)
Well I think so anyway.

I am a former chef and have had it when I was a meat-eater several kinds it is made like a sausage and can vary from country to country, the U.K version are made with ground pork, oats or barley, fat and made ito a sausage form, steamed then reheated by frying, in other parts of Europe, it can be large like a salami, the Hungarian variety is like that and even french versions are similar.

I have made Haggis (and a veggie version with out the stomach) and "Logic> is way off, it is a mix of lamb, innards, oatmeal, spices, stuffed into a stomach and boiled, served with bashed neep and taties on Robbie Burns Night dinners, in a few week to celebrate the bards birthday on January 25th/
