Hi all,
I bought some black pudding to try, but don't have any good recipes to use!
My girlfriend is very sceptical, and so I need a good one! Any suggestions?

Perhaps one of these three from BBC Food will suffice:


Black Pudding with Caramelized Apples

Ingredients

1. Preheat a small frying pan and a griddle pan.
2. Melt the butter in the small frying pan.
3. Add the apples and fry for 2 minutes.
4. Add the sugar and heat for a further 2 minutes.
5. Add the sliced orange. Simmer for 3 minutes.
6. Place the black pudding in the griddle. Griddle for 2 minutes, either
side.
7. Remove the apple from heat. Remove the black pudding from heat.
8. Place the black pudding on a plate. Top with half of the caramelised
apple and reserve the rest for another recipe. Drizzle with balsamic
vinegar and serve.

If she's squeamish, don't tell her how it's made.

Why not? I like to try new and unusual ingredients.

That seems to be how it is used in UK hotels, in my experience. It is
tasty.

Boudin Noir is a french bistro sausage that can also be very tasty. It
is not the same as black pudding in spite of the obvious linguistic
connection. Usually cooked and served in links. Has onion in it and
otherwise different seasonings.

You will probably find a vague equivalent in any culture that
slaughters pigs. Why throw something as good as that away?
_Blutwuerst_, _Kishka_(which has grain in it), etc.
