A very good thing about Bury black pudding (and I come from Radcliffe, nobbut a cockstride away from Bury) is that it's much lower in fat than many other examples, though you wouldn't know it. I often buy a whole one from Waitrose, where it was on offer for £1.19 last week. I skin it, slice it into oval bits and fry it hotly in butter for a few minutes. Nirvana is obtained if you can get a soft middle with a bit of crisp on the outside. Get it to that point then chuck a couple of eggs in the pan. My God, beat THAT. Put to one side for a minute while you fry a slice of bread in the fat. A breakfast fit for a king, but only justifiable if you have some physical activity coming up later that day.
