Aporkalypse Comin'! Oh no.

Aporkalypse Comin'! Oh no.

No bacon with scrambled eggies?

It isn't a critical issue but a shortage could drive the cost through the roof.

Just read the contents, syd. I do hope that "processed" means it's been cooked well... for the obvious reasons.

The thought of eating a horse just makes me sad... not a rational objection, I admit, but Col. Potter wouldn't do that.

At first I thought that pic of black pudding was a joke. Not to mention the image that came to mind. Ooohhh.....no!

Glad to hear it isn't. Whew! o_O

Indeed, there are still parts of the world which don't have black pudding. Or, would you believe, pork pie!

How primitive.

When living in Tasmania I used to frequent 'Oliver's Meats' in the Quadrant Mall, Launceston to get my supplies of black pudding and traditional pork pies... and none of this mass produced rubbish, either.  No, Doug used to make it all himself, fresh and on the premises.  He also made a top notch hogs pudding as well... YUM!  Sadly, Doug had to retire due to ill health, but I was there on closing day to get the very last of these succulent morsels for a mere fraction of their regular prices... like he gave them to me for being a loyal and regular customer over.

Yeah, Doug's great grandfather established Olivers Meats in 1848 when he arrived from the UK, and the black pudding, hogs pudding and pork pies were made with traditional English recipes handed down through the family.

my recipe for haggis comes from Tasmania.... from the National Trust Recipe Book.... it is an authentic....very traditional....recipe....from scratch.... not for the faint hearted to even read....

Tassie has some wonderful food industries/endeavours down there... smoked fish... cheeses...truffles.... wines...etc. etc.... thinking of another drive around tour.... pity they stopped the ferry leaving from Sydney... gotta drive back to Melb to catch it now... mind you... wouldn't mind a coupla days in Melb either... believe it's changed quite a bit since I left...

Okay......I admit ignorance. What the heck is black pudding. Being from Brooklyn I've never heard of such a thing.
