The packaging on black and white pudding is a joke

How have none of the brands come up with a decent way to package them so they can be as easy and mess free to open as the sasuages they accompany?

What other food packaging annoys you?

When I buy my bags of air there seems to be some crusty potatoey type debris down the bottom of the packaging

Kind of annoying

I think you are doing it wrong ?

cut the end off with a very sharp knife, run the same knife down long-ways almost the full length, then turn the pack inside out.

then slice it to suit .....

Or the slow way of cutting the end off then cutting slices off to (your preferred) thickness and then removing the wrapper

^^^ is probably the op's way of doing it but it only takes a few seconds between turning other food on the pan

In frying up a damn good black and white sandwich. Sure didn't our lord himself pause for the cup of tea and sambos?

Lash some puddings onto a pan, Kerrygold some bread....

op probably just has a **** knife

All I can gather from the OP is that he's cooking breakfast. Nice one, I'll have a fried egg, two hash browns and that pudding. Cheers.

Knew a lad in college who used to slice up the pudding and fry it in the PLASTIC casing.

Black and white pudding - puke

c_man · 14-12-2015 05:04PM

Open the bag, it's mostly air.

I do that sometimes too, makes no difference to the cooking of it, you can eat even it raw you know.

cml387 · 14-12-2015 05:07PM

Small sachets of coffee at work.
Now seem to pick up only sachets that have already been strangled to death and yet not actually opening to release the contents.

Raw pudding is the shizz.

Yes. I said shizz.

Find that most resealable bags of anything are rubbish. 'Now with new resealable bag!' *groan*

GBX · 14-12-2015 05:12PM

It aint fully raw though is it. Its grand to be eating without it going near a bit of heat.

Yeah, well it's already cooked, I suppose cold is the property culinary term.

c_man · 14-12-2015 05:19PM

Sometimes I like to cut pudding really fine and cook fry for a bit. Then you eat them like biscuits or crisps.

I'm very sophisticated.

What's the best kind of pudding just for on toast with butter?

Don't be giving me yer clonakilty rubbish now, clonakilty is lovely for a breakfast salad or something. But for just on toast it has to be a smoothy woothy one. I used to love Hicks of Dun Laoghaire, but it's just not the same anymore since they sold their recipe to some big boys

If you're using a standard chopping knife to cut a 10mm slice off the end this might not work brilliantly, it'll just crush the pudding. Protip: In this scenario, stab the end of the knife into the packaging first to get you started and then your chopping knife will slice cleanly straight through the wrapper and the pudding without having to do a furious back-and-forth motion.

This is why I never invite big city folk to dinner parties. I only give my guests two choices for the meal, take it or leave it.

I want it for MY house, not yours backward man.

Would ye go out with someone who had a differing view on pudding? I have to admit, it would definitely be something I'd want to know before I'd start thinking of kids or anything.

Oh god, imagine she wouldn't go to the same butchers as you and you had to eat mediocre sausages and pudding?

I was cooking black and white pudding yesterday morning and thought the exact same thing. Something like a spiral tab you can peel off as you go down.

None of you bastards steal my idea now.

14-12-2015 05:38PM

But it from a butchers and you don't have that plasticy thing.

Day Lewin · 14-12-2015 05:44PM

I wish it had a little string to pull, like the little Dairylea triangles used to have. Pull up tab at one end, then pull downwards R-rr-ip. and it magically separates.

I actually read today that it isn't! Turns out they fill the bags with nitrogen, which helps the crisps stay fresh for longer.

You can't cut open a black pudding without making a bollocks of it?

The packaging on black and white pudding is a joke
