American Reacts to British Foods You CAN'T GET in America (Part 2)

- As an American I know that more than most countries out there we let a lot slide in terms of food here so I was absolutely baffled to learn that there are British foods that are actually banned in the United States. Today I am excited to continue learning about what British foods are not available in America and why that is. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
The confusion is cause by the fact that they are saying it wrong.
In the UK it is called Black Pudding. Not Blood Pudding.
It is actually very popular here in the UK and very tasty. 😋
yeah that was a little annoying to me and poor Tyler thinking the word pudding only means desert
@@MsKaz1000 He does it all the time - and each time he realises a pudding is not a pudding unless its a pudding. Its funny to see it slowly sink in.
@@davidt-rex2062 pudding in the states is what we call angels delight lol wonder what he would make of steak and kidney pudding 😅 😅😅
@@davidt-rex2062 He's been through this like twenty times, there's no surpise; its just for content.
They must be confusing it with viking blood sausages which haven't really been cooked or eaten in centuries.
Black pudding is not a weird "novelty" food - it is very popular throughout the UK and Ireland. Usually fried as part of breakfast. Delicious!
A type of black pudding IS eaten in the USA - it's called "boudin noir" and is eaten in Louisiana.
I've got some in my fridge right now.
@@tonycrayford3893 me to
Very popular in Scandinavia as well, here in Sweden we eat it fried with Lingonberryjam and maybe some cabbage.
@@MrTjonke also popular in Germany.
@@MrTjonke Oh yeah. Loved it when it was on the menu at school. Other kids likened it to shoe soles... but I rather liked the overfried ones, that got quite chewy.
Black pudding is very common you have it with a full English breakfast it actually tastes very nice
Aye, shallow fried and fairly thinly sliced it's delicious.
Yeah, compliments bacon well in bacon baps too.
Yes it does. I ate it the time when young, together with Ulster Fry.
It is BLACK pudding ffs!
@@drln1ghthaunter Indeed. My Mrs thought I was a crank when I crumbled some into our salad until it was on a TV cooking show about 3 days later!
I’ve never heard anyone call it blood pudding it’s very common people eat it everyday here
Swedish blodpudding is a variant of the German blood sausage. The British equivalent is called black pudding
I'm sure I've heard it called blood pudding before but not sure where, might've been at Cheshire County show in one of the food marquees 🤔
In Canada, not at all uncommon to hear/see it called blood pudding.
According to some health enthusiasts, Black Pudding can be classed as a 'superfood'. It's a source of protein, which can keep you feeling fuller for longer. It can also be rich in iron as it contains blood. Nutrient contribution will vary depending on the manufacturer, so iron levels are not always guaranteed to be high.

People always seem to freak out about the ingredients in Haggis or Black Pudding, but at least they're upfront and honest... I mean, which bit of the animal is a sausage made from?
It's not made from the sausage is it?! 😂
@@gdok6088 Intestine
I'm always fascinated by the American attitude to offal (or organ meat, as I believe you call it). It's tasty, full of various nutrients and vitamins and reasonably cheap. Steak and kidney pie or pudding, the latter made with a suet (pron. sue-it) pastry; liver and onions; the list goes on.
The term pudding doesn't just mean a mousse-like dessert. It can be a steamed fruit cake a la Christmas pudding, to a risen pancake mix as in Yorkshire pudding. Black pudding is a savoury sausage made predominantly with pig's blood, and usually served with a full English breakfast. It's absolutely delicious, although that is a matter of taste.
The eating of offal comes from when meat - and food in general - was scarce, coming to a head during the rationing of World War II. In short, none of the animal is wasted. If you owned a couple of pigs, you'd be doing alright for a month or so. Frankly, if you do eat meat - as I do - then I feel it's incumbent upon you to eat more than just the finest cuts. It's a waste of the animal's life, quite honestly.
However- during rationing, etc, we weren't cramming chemicals, antibiotics, hormones, etc, into meat animals. Organ meats are full of nutrients, but being the body's filtration system, they're also full of all of those fun chemicals we give them now. If you're a small farmer running a fairly clean, organic crop, I might eat haggis from your table. But I won't eat commercially-grown organ meats. I'd sooner lick a trash can.
@@Liutgard Most UK butchers will have farm-sourced offal free of chemicals. It's certainly not that difficult to get hold of.
@@andrewbowman4611 You might not that Tyler is in the US. So am I. Farm-sourced offal is pretty rare here.
@@Liutgard I definitely know Tyler's in the US and I figured out you were. It was more an observation of different food standards. As I understand it, chlorinated chicken is commonly available where you are, whereas such a thing, despite recent best efforts, just simply isn't allowed here. I suspect our farming practices are stricter than yours as well.
@@andrewbowman4611 That's because the huge 'farming' organizations are funneling money into the pockets of those responsible for writing the laws governing them...
It's one of the reasons I eat very little meat. Of course, given everything they do to our foodstuffs, the only real way to have clean and ethical food is to grow it all one's self. And I- nor you- don't have time for that.
Haggis isn't sheep! It's a little animal found of scottish hills. It has longer outside legs and shorter legs on the inside so it is upright on the steep slopes. To catch it, you make it run the other way so it leans over and topples down the hill. We had it at Scouts on Burns Night.
Uphill Haggis can be found in Australia. They're rather large with short front legs and long back legs. Farmers that settled in the outback call them Kangaroo's.
It's not a desert it's eaten typically with a full English breakfast, it's like marmite, you either love it or hate it. 😋 😊
It’s basically a kind of sausage, definitely not a dessert. I’m vegetarian but I missed it so much, I made a vegetable one!
I can take or leave marmite and black puddind
Very true and when I had it as a child I liked it but did not know what it was at that time. as I was 4, as a grown up I would not eat it! in fact I will not eat any animal full stop!! why because they have a right to live like us and because if you look the last few years! there as been so many health problems coming from eating animals !! like mad cow for one. And while it might taste nice it's not always good for you.
@@kathryndunn9142 like you I had it as a child, when I found out what it was made from I've not touched it since.
@@richardh8082 lol yes it is a very acquired taste. Agreed.
Blood Pudding (more commonly called "Black Pudding") is extremely common and popular, the US appears to be the exception as not only does the UK have blood pudding, so does Spain, France and Germany and probably most other countries.
We have it in Australia as my grandmother frequently included it in her diet (she was born in England). White pudding and/or fruit pudding, the latter of which I've only seen in Scotland, was not as common in Australia though.
You need to remember that pudding in the UK does not mean dessert
It means both savoury & sweet. It's also a generic term for dessert. As in "That meal was lovely, what's for pudding?"
Except when you say "what are we having for pudding?" Then it means dessert.
@@LiqdPT your right except then 🤣
*YEP!* Same goes with Yorkshire as well. Not to mention biscuits in the USA doesn't mean something like Hobnobs.
In my opinion, the best black puddings are the ones sold at Bury market in Lancashire. They are tied into a horseshoe shape when they are made and then they are boiled. They are delicious when you have them with egg, bacon, sausage and mushrooms etc in a full English breakfast.😋
Yes! Bury Market black pudding is the Food of the Gods
Highest standard of Black pudding, Yum
That's where it originates from. Best black pudding. Scrumptious.
Bury market in the late 70s. Hot black pudding and a cup of peas laughing at the Numanites by the bogs😅 could be worse....could be grits🤮
a lot of traditional dishes in the UuK and other countries came about from using everything due to expense, using organs and blood and fats for food would afford people extra meals in poor times.
The strict food preparation laws in the UK make harvesting and preparing organs much safer, this comes back to the number of products like eggs that can not be sold between countries.
Black pudding is made with Dehydrated blood the flavour mostly comes from the herbs.
Congealed blood here in the uk,with spices and usually filled out with oatmeal.
Not sure what the UuK is🤔
Black pudding is very common. Tastes much much better than it sounds. I love it!
Have it with an english breakie or a pork chop with apple sauce
Blood pudding in Belgium is called blood sausage and is found in almost every butcher shop and sold in big grocery stores, I like it very much.
From what my (Scottish) grandmother said, the origins were from the drovers who had to take their cows many miles over days of travel to market. The blood could be used to feed the drovers without damaging the stock. Boiled with oatmeal, some fat rendered for the journey from home, a pint or two of blood from the cow, boiled into a sausage as travel food.
It’s actually called black pudding, it’s a lovely addition to a full English breakfast. Yummy ❤
Honestly, Haggis is amazing, in Scotland it comes as part of a Scottish breakfast, as does black pudding. Traditionally, you can have Haggis with Whisky or a Whisky sauce 😋.
Haggis bon bons though... I had them as one of the canapés at my wedding and they went in the first 5 minutes. Delicious.
Haggis bon bons, oh that sounds nice.
Haggis with whisky. Been there, done that and it's sublime 😊
Black pudding as a dessert?! 😂. It’s savoury and had for breakfast. You really don’t know what you are missing. Black pudding and Haggis are both delicious. “Pluck and lights” - heart and lung. I gave haggis to an American friend, and now I have to keep some in my freezer for when they visit, as they demand at least one each trip. They loved black pudding too.
You ever had white pudding it's yummy. Dip it in a runny egg 🥚 delicious 😋
A dessert is a dish containing fruit.
A pudding contains flour or grain.
@@neuralwarp Tomato pudding? Sorry, just being awkward!
@@neuralwarp that doesn't work for Christmas plum pudding
Yum best with brandy sauce 😋
@@robertcreighton4635 I think a pudding was originally something cooked in a skin or cloth covering. So, sausages, black pudding and Christmas pudding are all puddings. Only later did was the word extended to deserts generally.
I would call it black pudding rather than blood pudding but it is the same thing. You wouldn't get it everywhere but it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect to be served as part of a full English breakfast.
I’ve seen it everywhere, it’s more common then not
Haggis is actually Scotland's NATIONAL DISH. Its kind of insulting to Scots the way you make fun of it. Its actually lovely, and traditionally served with Neeps and Tatties. Look them up. As for Black Pudding, its one of the traditional components of the Full English fried breakfast, in which you get slices of the black pudding sausage fried in the same pan as the other ingredients (bacon, eggs, fried bread and others). I love to eat both.
In Portugal we also have our version of Haggis, (maybe it is an heritage of our Celtic ancestors). In the Castelo Branco region, some regional dishes are pork prepared in different ways - "bucho recheado" (pork loin haggis) and "maranhos" (Portuguese pork, goat and rice haggis).
Cheers.
Haggis is originally English, most of Scotland was not sheep territory until recently.
The trouble is, there are no traditional American dishes, the food that Americans think is traditional actually comes from other countries. Being a new (ish) country it stands to reason that America has adopted food from other, older countries. Black pudding is full of protein and iron and is good for pregnant women
Americans traditional food is British remember they were British then turned traitors. Many loyalists came up here to Canada. Modern times has taught Americans that their meat just suddenly appears in grocery stores. Although French Boudin Noire can be found in Louisiana. My favourite breakfast is a good mess of Neptune brand Aberdeen smoked Kippers. Or five large relatives of Jeremiah Bullfrog.
It’s also very popular in Europe and South America, Boudin Noir in France and Morcilla in Spanish speaking countries. It’s usually made from pig’s blood, very nice with scallops.
Blood pudding is actually called black pudding, and it's lovely got to have it with an English breakfast 😋
yeah i was gunna say the same dont think ive ever heard anyone call it blood pudding
(Or Scottish or Irish breakfast!)
@@mathiasosiriswoodhal Think it's what the Americans have inherited from the German language, as the German equivalent is "Blutwurst". Although it looks similar, it's usually eaten cold though and it doesn't seem to have cereal in it? Pleasant enough though?
@@mmcbey1401 it's peeing me off the comments saying it's from an 'English' breakfast. It's a key ingredient in a full Scottish (and irish) breakfast too, I actually think it may be more popular here in Scotland, I don't know if English chip shops sell black pudding sausage shaped and fried in batter like our chippies 🤔
@@Kazza_8240 Not that I've seen in English or Welsh Chippies, Kazza and I'm a well travelled (in the UK) Highlander. And I agree Black Pudding is a food of the British Isles, not just Englandshire.
Hi Tyler In the UK, in mediaeval times pudding meant something that was boiled or steamed in a cloth bag or suet crust. Depending what it contained it could be sweet or savoury These days we still refer to both as pudding. It is a lot different from what you call pudding. Some people also refer to the sweet course of a meal as pudding. As for UK slaughter houses (we call them abattoirs) they are monitored far more strictly than in the US. The problem with aspiration into lungs just does not happen, no one will get sick eating lungs or haggis. In the UK we consider the American habit of not eating certain animal 'offal' as disgracefully wasteful. Liver is very nutritious and heart is, after all, just muscle the same as ordinary meat. If you did not know what haggis is made from you would probably enjoy it.
However, prions from Mad Cow disease have been found in lung tissue, and we don't know how they got there.
The word "pudding" has its origins in the Old English language. The term can be traced back to the early 14th century, derived from the word "poding," which referred to a kind of sausage made by stuffing animal intestines with minced meat, suet, and various other ingredients. The term "poding" itself was derived from the Old French word "boudin," which had a similar meaning.
Over time, the meaning of "pudding" expanded to encompass a broader range of dishes, including both savory and sweet preparations. In British cuisine, "pudding" came to refer to a wide variety of dishes, such as blood pudding, Yorkshire pudding, and Christmas pudding. In American English, "pudding" often refers to a specific type of creamy, dessert-like dish, such as chocolate pudding or rice pudding.

A pudding is a dish containing flour or starch. A dessert is a dish containing fruit. A sweet is a dish containing sugar or honey.
ChatGPT, hallucinating as always. There is no term Blood Pudding.
@@neuralwarp Lol, of course there is! It is called blood or black pudding depending on where you live. Try looking it up sometime.
Tyler has been told this in more than one of his earlier videos but he doesn't appear to retain the knowledge or read his comments sections, as he misses out on a lot of info he should know by now.
@@Thurgosh_OGas he says, he's a typical American 😁
In Czech Republic are popular meals from pork meat, blood and offals. Mainly during winter you can buy a lot of this type of meals. My personal favorite is pork blood soup. It is just yummy.
Black (blood) pudding is really good and quite popular. Best part of the English breakfast
Tyler, for Blackcurrants i am pretty sure you can buy 'Ribena" cordial in a British shop or online... mate, it really is delicious stuff. We have something simsr called "Vimto" which is a mjxed berry cordial. Its pretty much the national beverage of Saudi Arabia (seriously)
They've always been able to buy "Crème de cassis" over there too. However most Americans, and for that matter most British don't know what that is either? Nice poured over a quality Vanilla ice cream.
Terrible old joke, but I can never resist... Did you hear about the dyslexic alcoholic? Choked to death on his own Vimto. Sorry! lol
Cordial = diluting juice = squash
Don't forget to add water Tyler! 😆
@@johnp8131 We do of course know what cassis is in Britain. Though not in every home, its certainly well known.
As far as I know,there is no such thing in Britain as "blood pudding", and I have lived here for over 70 years.
😲 it's hugely popular here in Scotland, its sold in our chip shops, sausage shaped, and fried in batter, and it's always on my plate if I'm having a full Scottish breakfast. It's sold in every shop too. Did you just mean you haven't seen it in your area? Or you don't refer to it as 'blood pudding' but 'black pudding'?
Black pudding is the UK name for its blood sausage. Most European countries have their own blood sausages, because poor people couldn't waste food. Blood is very nutritional, and there's a lot of it in an animal. Muscle needs to be hung for a few days to tenderise it, but in a hot climate blood and offal spoil easily so have to be processed and eaten very quickly. Modern tastes, and the easy availability of excessive quantities of cheap meat, has meant that offal is much less popular. The problem of what to with the half of a carcass that people don't want to eat is huge. Sausages, frankfurters, meat loaf, pet food and fertiliser are the solution.
@@Kazza_8240 I have heard of black pudding and know that it contains blood. I've had it once or twice when visiting Scotland, never ever heard anybody refer to it as blood pudding.
@@CamcorderSteve ah I see, sorry, at first I thought you meant you haven't heard of the concept, but no, no one where I'm from calls it blood pudding either ✌🏻
Haggis is a traditional Scottish food. It's eaten regularly in Scotland, especially on Burns night, our national Bard.
not just the UK and Ireland, I think many of Europe likes this.
For example in Slovakia, we have Krvavnica (which is a Jaternica made with blood) so very similar, but we love blood pudding as well.
Blood pudding or more often called black pudding is common throughout Europe. France has “boudin noir” for example
Black pudding would usually be served as part of a full English breakfast. You would ask for a ring of black pudding when purchasing at a butcher. To cook it simply slice and fry in shallow oil in frying pan. Ireland also has it's version of breakfast pudding. It's called white pudding and it's made with pork meat and spices...no blood in this one, lol & it's delicious!
I've noticed the younger generation are not so keen on eating black pudding & it's more popular with older generations of English & Irish people.
Haggis is a delicacy of Scotland & therefore more of a Scottish traditional food. It is however available to buy in England.
Not always fried, especially not in the North West
Black pudding is in a full Scottish breakfast too,
@@grabtharshammer aha ... you learn something new everyday!!.. .how do they eat theirs??
@@Kazza_8240 I never knew that..interesting!!😉
@@maya438 lol, it's even sold in our chip shops, sausage shaped and fried in batter...... soooooo good...🤤....but it does give me heartburn every time! 😅
Black pudding is incredibly popular on a full English breakfast. Its taste varies A LOT depending on where it was sourced. Poor quality ones can just taste like bread, better ones have more of a flavour (it's difficult to describe, but it's very nice).
The best black pudding I ever had was on a Tesco all day full English, problem is the rest of the full English wasn't fantastic so I'm not sure if it's worth buying it again just for the black pudding.
@tylerrumple I’ve got to say, I’m really enjoying your videos. Please keep it up, you’re my new favourite channel.
Black pudding , french boudin noire, German Blodwurst, is very common through out Europe, it comes from poverty times when people couldn't afford to throw away food, its also popular in Spain and Portugal , and thus in South America as well
Spanish morcilla.
@@wessexdruid7598 coudn't remember the name, Ithink in South America, morci, open to correctionlla , and mordilla are used
mordilla and mrocilla are used *
Black pudding: minced fatty pork, pearl barley or oatmeal, fresh pig blood, salt and spices mixed together and boiled in sausage casing. Apparently dried blood is available now but normally it was made close to the site of slaughter before the blood congeals. Frying just heats it up and gives it a bit of a crunch.
True story, during my medical training, I was in a hospital flat share. I came in 7am after a long night on-call. It was Burns night. Jenny was Scottish & was making her own homemade Haggis! The kitchen just looked like the Operating Theatre (OR) that I had just come from😂
Blood pudding is actually called "black pudding" savory, often served with a full English cooked breakfast!
Haggis is a traditional Scottish food and the essential ingredient of Burns Night. where is eaten with neeps (mashed swede or turnip) and tatties (mashed potatoes). Burns night held on 25th January celebrates the birthday of Robert Burns, a poet and lyricist born in 1759 and is regarded as the greatest Scot of all time. . He wrote 'Auld Lang Syne' , which sung at midnight on New Years Even to say goodbye to the old year.
Damn haggis are sure hard to catch. Newfoundlanders sell them to the CFL.
Black pudding is great with a Scottish breakfast or with scallops. Great on a buttered roll with square sausage and tattie scones.
With scallops is so good.
Black Pudding is a combination of suet or fat, grain or cereal, onion, seasoning and,usually pig's blood, all stuffed into a natural casing (animal intestine).
Black pudding is pig's blood. If you buy it sliced it's best fried if you buy the horse shoe black pudding it's best boiled in it's skin. The best black puddings are from Bury in Greater Manchester where it originally came from. Bury market is about 7 miles from where I live. It's delicious with hot English mustard.
We also eat Blood pudding in Norway.
In my family we eat blood pudding with a little sugar on top, and also when I was a kid my mom also made blood pancakes.
Always have black pudding with my full English breakfast , love it . Haggis is great too. America's loss .🇬🇧
Blood pudding is a delicious part of a 'Full English Breakfast' and is eaten cooked generally fried... Back in Germany, we would eat ''Blood Sausage' which is different - eaten cold and sliced, like ham, on a sandwich...Maybe it is due to my (old!!!) age, but I grew up eating plenty of offal (Offal ..off-fall, those bits that 'fall off' the animal in the butcher shop!: heart, lung, kidneys, liver, stomach, neck et.c) and Haggis is absolutely scrumptious!!!...As a child, I remember Chicken would be bought for a Sunday, and it came complete with a bag of 'giblets' which was all the innards of the chicken...Mum would cook them in a wonderful thick rice-soup that meant we got meat midweek!...These days it is VERY rare to get a bag of giblets - although if you smile nicely at a local, independent butcher they can often 'oblige'!!!
I remember the bag of giblets that came inside a bought, chicken from my English childhood, so common here too.
It’s called pudding but it’s not a dessert . It’s on your English breakfast with bacon , egg and sausage . Like Marmite you either love or hate it !
Black pudding is quite popular. It has a smoky flavour similar to bacon, but has a soft, crumbly texture. It’s typically cut into slices and either pan fried or grilled. Very common with a cooked breakfast.
My diet is completely different now but back when I was a meat and animal byproduct eater, black pudding/blood pudding was something I particularly liked on a full English breakfast. I think with most people it’s a bit of an acquired taste. A bit like marmite. You either love it or hate it. But personally before my diet changed, I enjoyed it. It sounds gross, I know.. but the taste is quite surprising. But again, that’s only my opinion of it. I can’t speak for anyone else
They ban these things over there but chlorinated chicken is just fine😮
Black pudding isn't a dessert. It can be eaten with a "traditional English breakfast". Our puddings are either a dessert type like Christmas pudding or non dessert type like black pudding and Yorkshire pudding.
Blood pudding, known also as black pudding, can be bought in most supermarkets in New Zealand. Also popular in Germany where its called Blutwurst and Rotwurst. As a kid we had black and white pudding with breakfast fairly often. White pudding was made using oatmeal and you slice it up along with sliced black pudding and fry them. Lovely. I had some black pudding only yesterday for lunch.
Blood pudding was made originally by small subsistence farmers who couldn't afford to waste any part of any animal they slaughtered. Simple as that.
Haggis is on the menu in Dunedin, a New Zealand city foundered by mainly Scots immigrants in the 1800s. There's even a statue of Robbie Burns in the city centre.
Surprised you don't have blackcurrants in the USA, really popular in NZ. Blackcurrant drinks, also baked in buns and scones and muffins.
Black pudding is even common in Sweden and I like it!
Black/blood pudding is a savoury item, often served in full english breakfasts alongside mushrooms, suasages, hash browns, baked beans, tomato, bacon and sometimes, toast.
Black Pudding is amazing. Being from Wales, I do like it with cockles and laverbred. No fried bread for me though, regular toast and a poached egg. Lovely
Today I learnt Laverbred exists. Thanks!
I’m half Welsh my grandmother and mother were welsh, we used to go get our own cockles, used to love them, muscles too but my husband put me off them.
@@adelia988 I used to like mussels too.
Until I had a horrible case of food poisoning after eating a bad seafood mix with them as the main ingredient. Unfortunately I can't break that association and I get queasy just looking at them now :(
Black Pudding, or as we in Sweden say, blodpudding or blodkorv, is good stuff.
We eat it for Lunch or Dinner though, never for Breakfast.
Tyler, a few of us need to organise a few days over here in the UK to show you around... also, black pudding I bet groups like the Amish and Menonnites would know all about it
Black pudding often fried, and after all people cook raw flesh, this is cooked also, and more like a sausage style cut similar to poker chips thickness then fried
Everyone's saying blood pudding is black pudding. This isn't entirely true, there's also White Pudding.
It's a breakfast item, usually as part of a full english breakfast.
It's a traditional item, given that historically wasting parts of the animal is a bad plan, and inefficient.
It's got a taste that goes well with bacon or sausage - I didn't like it for years, but I tried it and then enjoyed it. It's still situational though.
In Bury, where there's a variety made, there was a butchers who did sausage sandwiches fresh and hot, and he did black pudding sausages (sausage meat and black pudding mixed) which were amazing.
Black Pudding is an essential part of my Full Monty. The fry-up is a great hangover cure. Start your day with Bacon, Fried Eggs, Fried Bread. Baked Beans, Sausages, Fried Mushrooms, Fried Tomatoes, Fried Black Pudding, Brown Sauce and a large Enamel Mug of Tea. Toast & butter. Jam or marmalade. Bubble and Squeak can be added to your plate for a real treat.
It is illegal to make a Fry up with Hash Browns or use Ketchup.
Black Pud has a light crumbly texture. The flavour is delicate, quite sublime. The chunks of fat give the Pud more texture and flavour. The Pud can taste a little salty to some. Best served fried in slices.
Black Pudding it's normally called in the UK. It's lovely.
Blood SAUSAGE is quite popular in the US, paricularly down south. Pretty much the same thing.
Black pudding is a daily breakfast addition for alotttttt of people it’s very common. I love it! It’s a lovely patty made of fat and usually some oats and formed and flavoured with blood. It cooks black and is so nice with sausage and eggs and bacon. It’s a meaty and soft crunchy meat patty from olde days when food and animals needed to be utilised. It’s a lovely sandwich like a burger patty without the meat.
Haggis is lovely cuz it’s basically like oats and spices and veg cooked in meat.
black pudding used to be be on the bars, pubs and clubs on sunday morning, cubed, not fried, with cheese, crackers, pickled onions, that was a norm, plus fried on breakfast
As said below its called Black Pudding NOT Blood Pudding and it tastes amazing!
So I thought black pudding was likely to be a medieval dish so googled it, first, it said 1810 but I think that was a certain recipe that was first sold another search found it had been a record item since the 1400s but was most likely to be older and a sausage filled with blood and fat is mentioned in The Odyssey of Homer and the Romans also ate a version of it
I can eat it, but in small doses & not very often. As people say, it goes well with Full English Breakfast. Called in the UK Black Pudding.
Nobody calls it "blood pudding". It's a thing he's made up and it's got fixed in his brain. It's Black Pudding.
Black pudding is the UK's blood sausage.
Other countries have their own blood sausages, eg morcilla, boudoin noir (French, corrupted to 'black pudding' in English).
Good black/blood pudding has a wonderful earthy taste and a soft texture inside with a crispy exterior when it's been fried. You would class it as a breakfast meat. The best is made from pigs' blood. There's an old English farming saying, in response to "Which parts of the pig do you eat?" - "Everything except the oink"
Black(blood) Pudding was brought to the UK shores by the Vikings, as Vikings had to deal with little they used everything including the blood, blood mead, blood bread, blood stew and with it came the blood sausage, its super high in protein and minerals. I*n the UK a pudding is not just a dessert and i think the USA pudding is what we would call angel delight or moosee, blamange maybe
Black pudding/blood pudding/sausage is an ancient food in many culture's around the world as a way to stabilize and preserve the highly nutritious blood and suet (an extremely pure form of animal fat from around the internal organs ). By absorbing the blood into a cereal mixing it with chunks of the fat then flavouring with salt and spices usually pepper the cooked product contained in the animal's stomach can then be stored safely for month's even without refrigeration. What many people today don't seem to realize is that the convenience foods they eat today are based on methods developed by their ancestors to preserve enough food simply to survive. The reason spices were so highly valued wasn't just because they made food taste better but because most of them had anti bacterial and anti fungal properties this made even normally unpalatable meats valuable for survival.
Haggis tastes like a sausage meat with spices and oats. Great with some mash potato.
Black Pudding is surprisingly unoffensive. It's a very unique taste, but its like describing a pork sausage or bacon. It's just another sausage with a porky taste, just not one you are familiar with, but equally as good and paired with bacon and sausage. Very soft and crumbly with a bit of crispy fried goodness.
I love black pudding and have it at least once a week. It typically goes with a full English breakfast, but I have seen Gordon Ramsey (world famous chef) do a dish once that was black pudding with poached egg and asparagus. I've tried that dish and it's really nice.
Black pudding is also served in top restaraunts, usually sandwitched between fresh scallops and Quails eggs.
Black pudding is an essential item in a full English breakfast and is delicious.

I think Groundskeeper Willie in the Simpsons hunts haggis in an episode as if it’s an animal 😆 👍
Black pudding not Blood pudding is delicious and is an essential part of Full English. It is mostly made from pigs' blood (usually made from dried blood). I've never heard of black pudding being made with cows blood.
Haggis is Scottish and again is delicious.
I'm guessing haggis might be popular with Americans who Identify as Scottish.
I think you also need to understand 'pudding' is not just a dessert.
In English pudding can mean the same as American, but also a number of other dishes, it is frequently a sausage, such as Black pudding (note it is only referred to a blood pudding by Americans and I think, Germans (because I think they have similar).
If you are going to kill and eat an animal, it seems respectful to use as much as possible.
To be honest I think the French tend to use more of most animals than UK, or that is the stereotype in UK.
As others have said, it's called Black Pudding in the UK. Very similar things are found in many other parts of Europe.
There are relatively few calories in black pudding, especially when compared with other types of sausage and back pudding is rich in iron and zinc, two nutrients that are frequently missing from the average adult's body. It also contains different types of minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and even sodium. This also includes fluoride and all other minerals needed by the body so is considered a superfood.
Black pudding or blood sausage is not just British, it's eaten in many different European countries, prepared their own way. British black pudding is a black coloured thick sausage, which you cut into thick slices, then grill or fry the slices on both sides. The flavour is meaty and there is quite a bit of black pepper in it. The texture is usually a bit creamy, like a pate. I love it, and I don't think you would know what it is unless you are told. But everyone is different, you don't HAVE TO like anything.
I eat Black Pudding both cold and fried with breakfast. It is very nice. Haggis is great too. I have never been ill from Black Pudding or Haggis.
Black pudding/ blood pudding was invented hundreds of years ago when life was hard for the poor, its a way of using the whole animal and getting vitamins, it's very nice with a fry up (full english)

Love black and white pudding on toast or with a fry up. Sanguinaccio is an Italian desert made with coco and blood. It's a very rich chocolate mousse, delicious.
As a child we had black pudding in our Sunday fried breakfast. Even as a child I loved I but didn't know what it was till I grew up. Today a black pudding supper is one of my favourites from the Chippy. Pig or cow blood. It's amazing taste.Then haggis came up another personal favourite.

Delicious savoury, couple of bits in a massive fry-up with bacon, sausages, sliced lorne sausage, 2 potato scones, 2 bits of fried bread, baked beans in tomato sauce, fried mushrooms, 2 fried eggs, hash browns and a slice of haggis.. and not a drop of your yankee syrups me laddo!
Food made with blood is actually a common staple in many countries in the world (and surprise even the USA - southwest United States).
Many cultures consume blood, often in combination with meat. The blood may be in the form of blood sausage, as a thickener for sauces, a cured salted form for times of food scarcity, or in a blood soup.[ This is a product from domesticated animals, obtained at a place and time where the blood can run into a container and be swiftly consumed or processed. In many cultures, the animal is slaughtered. In some cultures, blood is a taboo food.
Blood is the most important byproduct of slaughtering. It consists predominantly of protein and water, and is sometimes called "liquid meat" because its composition is similar to that of lean meat. Blood collected hygienically can be used for human consumption, otherwise it is converted to blood meal. Special fractions[further explanation needed] of animal blood are used in human medicine.
But being Portuguese I'm proud to present you with some examples (the most well known ones):
In Portugal, the northern region known as Minho has a traditional blood soup named papas de sarrabulho. "Papas" translates as "mash" and "sarrabulho" is a popular expression for coagulated blood, so the literal translation would be "mashed blood". The soup is made with pig's blood, chicken meat, pork, ham, salami, lemon and bread, and is typically sprinkled with cumin, which provides the dish with its distinctive odor. It is usually served in the winter because it is a rather heavy dish. The dish is seldom eaten in southern Portugal. Also very popular, is "morcela sausage", a type of black pudding. Another traditional Portuguese dish known as "cabidela" is also made by cooking chicken or rabbit in its own blood, sometimes diluted with vinegar. The same cabidela dish is done with lamprey eel's blood and flesh along with rice, during the months of March and April following the migration of these fishes throughout Portugal's rivers. There's also a candy called "Papas de moado", which is prepared from pig's blood, flour, sugar, nuts and spices, mainly in the Mondego River region.
with that being said, I hope I have enticed you to open your mind (and your mouth) to try unexpectedly good food.
Black pudding, absolutely delicious!
We had it last night as part of our 'fry up' - aka Traditional English Breakfast. We enjoy it for an evening meal, usually as a treat, at weekends.
During my first pregnancy, my major craving was Black Pudding butty (Sandwich) with brown HP sauce!
