I've been given a whole load of black pudding, does anyone have any nice recipes that they'd recommend?

There is only one 'official' way to eat black pudding - boil them for about 20 minutes in their skins then eat them straight with english mustard. However I do also like them split open and grilled. They are basically sausages in reality, so most things you can do with sausages, you can do with black puddings. Jon

You should have popped down to Godalming for a bit of this. It was pretty good, I do have loads more tblack pudding to eat.

Black pudding and scalopes is a classic combination.
Also done as a stuffing for chicken breast or if you have a whole bird insert it as slices under the skin.
It also combos really well with goats cheese, in particular in a salad.

In Scotland we fry black pudding and have it for breakfast. It's bloody awful... (no pun intended)

Black pudding goes really well with plate. I envy you, we can only get 'crap' black pudding in our local Tescos, sliced as if that's the only way people eat them and very dry. The local butcher's puddings give one a dicky tummy so we avoid that place.

Boil pudding for 20 minutes in its skin. Slice it along the top following the curve about 3/4 of the total depth. Smear to taste with English mustard. Serve with boiled white potatoes, peas, carrots and a pint of best bitter. Season with black pepper. Follow with bread and jam (raspberry) and cup of Lancashire tea for dessert. The most pleasure you can have with your clothes on.

Mmmm black pud. Personally I prefer my (thick) slices flash fried in butter so that they crisp up on the outside and stay soft, almost "rare" on the inner. But I generally try to steer clear of mustard in the morning though (unless I'm having a ham/gammon based brekkie which is rare) and tend to opt for Ketchup instead (sacrilegous I know) I would also urge you all to try black pudding hash - it's a gift from the gods! HERE is a recipe that sounds kind of like how I imagine Farringdon's Quality Chop House does theres. You will NOT be disappointed.

Cut it into approx 2" cubes and throw it into a frying pan with a small amount of butter and a load of mushrooms. Fry for 10 mins or so turning every now and then
Yum
