    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! :D

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

    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.

    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"! :D

    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'

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

    Clonakilty is over-rated.

    I know well what it is, and love it! :D

    I'll try not to start another haggis debate either, but I'll just say haggis is awesome :p

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

    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.

    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?
