Thanks! Do you like Black pudding? What do you serve it with ?

[Polwarth]

No, I don't like it at all

It's served as part of a fried breakfast - along with any combination, or all of the following

Fried egg
Fried bread
Fried bacon
Fried mushrooms
Tottie Scone (fried, of course)
Sliced sausage, fried
Ordinary sausages, fried
beans (not fried)
Haggis, not fried (the healthy option!)

I need to give a second opinion on the black pudding.

I love it!!!

Served with a good fry-up for breakfast it is wonderful; however, I think my favourite way was with chip as a Black Pudding Supper from the chip shop. Granted that opinion might be tainted by the memories of going to the chip shop with my grandad 30 odd years ago.

But I do really like the stuff!
