Morcilla española - Spanish black pudding @ De Maria restaurant, Madrid, Spain

These pleasant sausages are generally only obtainable commercially, and are not particularly exciting in flavour, but if anyone has the desire (or the facilities) to make one’s own, this Irish recipe shows the way. 2 pints pigs blood 1 teaspoonful salt ½ pint (1 ¼ cups) milk 1 ¼ lb. (3 cups) lard ½ lb. onions 1 ½-2 lb. (4-5 1/3 cups) oatmeal mixed spices Take the blood when the pig is killed and stir it till is is almost cold. Then add salt, stirring till this dissolves. Strain the blood, adding the milk. Chop up the leaf lard, chop and parboil the onions, and mix them with toasted coarse oatmeal. Stir all this into the blood, seasoning to taste with mixed spices. Put the sausage-meat into skins, prick them all over with a darning-needle and boil for 30 minutes, pricking again after the first 5 minutes. Hang them up in a cool dry place: they are then grilled or fried when wanted.

I must admit I love black pudding. Nothing bland about it. My father used to fry it up for him and me for a weekend breakfast, while my brothers looked on in horror. Such fussy wusses they were.

622. Black Pudding

Black pudding is one of those foods that can freak some people out a bit. It is after all a sausage made out of pig blood - not the most appealing sounding food. It tastes really pretty good though. The first time I ate it was with roast pork and apple sauce, and I have to say that is still my favourite way to eat it. However this salad was also pretty good. The black pudding was paired with bacon, new potatoes and green salad with a honey mustard dressing and topped off with a poached egg. It was probably just about the least healthy salad in existence (well, except any of the ‘salads’ they sell as McDonalds I suppose), but it sure was a tasty lunch.
