Ireland's best black pud

Tombo2001

with apologies to Foxhound38 for thieving his/her good idea....

Gonna be controversial here:

I do not like Clonakilty black puddings at all. I think it is a poor product.

I wouldnt go near a Denny black pud.

For me there is only one: Kellys of Newport. The best by a country mile.

Apart from........some absolutely fantastic home made products that (and I dont know the science of this) dont have to be made in accordance with EU Guidelines and are therefore far far tastier.

What you should try is the Kelly's of Newport "Black Pud with a White Pud in the Middle"

You mean Roulade. Be off with you sirrah, and take your strange foreign "puddin'-inside-in-puddin'" muck with you!

Not Clonakilty black pud - WAY too much barley in there for my taste!

None

The only roulade I know has berries cream and sponge in it....

From the Kelly's website:

“White in Black” Puddings

Winner of Gold Medal at Slavakto Food Fair, Utrecht, Holland
Large 5.5lb/2.5kilo
Speciality pudding, white pudding core with black pudding surround....

The Dutch go mad for it apparently.....

(By the way, lest anyone suggest it, I dont work for Kelly's, nor do I know any of the people involved......I just like the product).

Oh yeah, popular enough - some manufacturers market it as a "roulade of pudding".

I'm not a huge fan of Clonakilty black pudding either. It's all a bit loose and bland.

I never noticed that before but you are right.

Hodgin's because they make gluten free black pudding.

Anything labelled "Truly Irish" is more likely to be manufactured in Slovenia out of recycled bin-bags. GettafeedaShaw'sintayer! :cool:

Nope, that's Galtee as of the last few years. Truly Irish was set up by the farmers that Galtee screwed over by importing pig carcasses rather than use local suppliers

Its surprising the amount of people that eat black pudding, but do not realise it is boiled and cooked blood with pinhead oat meal and some fat and spices.

I like black pudding but white pudding would be more my favourite.

I make my own.

I bleed myself once a fortnight and keep the blood in the fridge for about 4 days. Then I use my own home grown barley and a small bit of pig's blood to get the taste right.

Anyone wanna try it?

Brought by Humbert to the 'Republic of Connaught' in the 1790s....... Ireland is such a melting pot of cultures.

My grandmother used to make it. It made "Predators" look like "Mama Mia"!

No.

However, if you got some liposuction and used some of the fat from your belly in the pudding, it would taste nicer. Just sayin'

no i do not. I've bought them a few times in Garretts in Raheen

Sneem and McCarthy's are both lovely. Got some from the Whole Hogg and thought it was also quite nice.

Clonakilty is over-rated.

The Sneem stuff is sheep's pudding, isn't it? I hear good things about it.

[Deleted User]

Would sheep's black pudding not be haggis?

No, same as any other pud only using sheep blood. Oh and, I'm told Sneem comes in sort of Madeira cake-shaped blocks.

Yep, it comes in blocks. I believe it's baked rather than boiled. It has a really crumbly texture, but not from the oatmeal like Clonakilty.

sohsoh

Jack McCarthy's black pudding. Tasted it on the menu in a Killarney hotel. Lovely.

Always been a fan of the Dennys black pud myself, it might be the mcDonald's of black pudding but I like it

Tombo2001

What is the difference between home made black pudding and mass produced black pudding.....

I understand its regarding the blood.......

I've been told that all the blood in mass produced is dried blood, with most of it imported.

With the homemade......is it not dried also?

Any takers?

DellyBelly

Can't beat Clonakilty black and white pudding....
