If it can't be music let's make it food and booze and while we're at it let's hear it for the humble sav'ry duck too! (great with mushy peas) Lightly poach pears in wine and smother with melted blue cheese. Serve with Bury Black Pudding and die contented |

A great treat. At a later time I remember asking him why he didn't do that any more. It seemed that you couldn't get fresh blood any more. More's the pity. Dave Oesterreich |

I slice and freeze this when I get home and it lasts for a few weeks. The ones down South are just not the same! My idea of a heavenly breakfast is black pud, fried eggs, bacon, beans and toast. Not too good for the old chlorestrol though...... |

That's the song and the food; now who will tell me what the perfect drink to accompany a black pudding is? |

29 Dec 03 - 01:55 PM (#1081647) Subject: RE: BS: In seach of a REAL sausage... ;-) From: Ed. the perfect drink to accompany a black pudding is? Hmmm, difficult one. Depends on how or when you're serving them. I'd suggest a glass of red wine for your pear/stilton combination (sounds great, must try it). A decent cider would suit a Normandy boudin. Morcilla might be better with a dry white? For British Black Pudding, I find it hard to see how a mug of tea could be beaten. I understand what you mean about the 'unmentionable' ingredient. One of my cousins married an American. Having inadvertently eaten Black Pudding at a family restaurant meal, he spent the rest of the day muttering: "you people really eat blood???" |

His pies are also excellent, and in fact the only difficulty he has to live with is that his website is really and truly called muffsonline!!!! Please do not enter this name in a search engine. I've also discovered on an Irish holiday that the town of Clonakilty not only has the finest sessions but also produces some amazing puddings:- Irish Black Puddings and White Puddings. We must get together soon for a cheese and sausage party! |
