    If you like black pudding, get it from MacLeods in Stornoway…..

    Just enjoyed a fabulous tapas which included a traditional morcilla dish. The waiter said it was a local family recipe going back many generations.

    Well, I'm joining in. I find the taste very strong, but do like it cooked until crispy and crumbled over things as a seasoning.

    The big question is have you tried White Pudding. This is like a very soft and oatty sausage meat. Cut into discs about 10mm thick and fried gently for 2 or 3 minutes each side it is wonderful with soft scrambled eggs and toasted sourdough bread.

    I have indeed tried white pudding. Whenever visiting Ireland we used to start the day with the full fry up that included it. I actually preferred it.

    Unfortunately 10 years ago my body developed an allergy to wheat so I tend to miss the black pudding nowadays. However I was tempted the other day when eating in a pub when some was inadvertently placed on my gluten free Roast Belly Pork lunch. Fortunately the temptation was only fleeting and we most definitely won't be eating again in that pub again.

    Absolutely none of it compares to Westcountry Hogs Pudding. Try it if you get the chance.

    Now I'm a "Blow in" to Devon I've had to swap to the Hogs Pudding.

    A.L. Martin & Son Ltd have a shop in Okehampton, our local town, and I've been buying their own shop made from them for the past 6 months, when I first came across the product. A few weeks ago when making our weekly trip to Totnes I bought a "factory made" version from Mc Cabe on the high street. It was a totally different experience, a quite unpleasant one, and the remainder ended up in the bin.

    I'm sticking with my local supplier. For anybody passing through Okehampton, or Chagford where I think they also have a shop they are well worth a visit.

    Butcher's own make is usually the best. Look out for Kittows in Cornwall.

    I've just looked them up. Looks like they have a shop in St Austell and we are nearby at Pentewan in June.

    We buy Bury Black Pudding - in traditional links. Usually from Booths at Kirkby Lonsdale.
    And use it in a hotpot- beef (our own), layered with sliced onions, carrots and potatoes. I make an enormous pot and cook slowly in the Aga. Too much for one meal, but next day it’s even better.

    I have a sort of a rota for what I cook for main meals (for hungry farmers) and this is the highlight.
