Me trying to fathom a purplerose comment:
Sorry if I offended any Geordies btw. I’m part Mackem and Geordie myself.
Black pudding isn't 'English'. It emerged in Ireland and Scotland and then the midlands of England. It's been a Tradition in the Western Isles for a very long time and Stornoway black pudding is probably the best you'll ever taste.
Both black and white puddings (marag-dubh and marag-gheal), and haggis (taigeis) are indeed delicacies. Not the shite you buy in supermarkets but the proper traditional versions.
Didn't I already take your Scottish card away from you?

Hrmmm. Variations of Black Pudding exist in other countries outside of the British Isles. In Spain, "morcilla" is a similar blood sausage, often made with rice or onion. France has "boudin noir," which also features blood and fat but varies in spices and preparation. Italy has “sanguinaccio”, among other things. Black Pudding is actually quite universal.
I’d say in a British Isles context, Lancashire, England and the Western Isles of Scotland have long histories of making Black pudding. Lancashire black pudding is characterized by its unique blend of spices and texture, likely because of Lancashire’s maritime location, with important sea ports, importing spices from far-flung places, as is the case with the Cumberland sausage. If i’m not mistaken, the history of Black Pudding in Lancashire goes back to the 14th century, and underwent major changes in the 18th and 19th century during the Industrial Revolution when it became a staple food.
Black Pudding, particularly from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, has a rich history rooted in local traditions and the island's unique cultural heritage. If my memory serves me correctly, Western Isles black pudding dates back several centuries, with roots tracing as far back as the 16th century.
The Netherlands have a black pudding too called ‘bloedworst’, which translates to blood sausage. I’ve seen it in the supermarket but I have yet to try it.
One of the courses I followed at university was ‘culinary history’, it was part of my Master’s degree in History. It peaked my interest in everything culinary.

Them with a nice sugary tea or white coffee = 😋
It's the only Scottish traditional product I don't like apart from uisge beatha of course (I'm not likely to ever be a drinker anyway), plus I'm a native gaelic speaker, I play a mean fiddle and I was born and live in the highlands. Oh and I've chosen a Scottish uni for my higher education and I support independence.
I seem to recall taking your Scottish card for multiple infractions though... ,
thank god
