    Posted: Dec 6, 2022 · Last updated: Dec 6, 2022 · by Shai Cohen

    When it comes to breakfast, the British generally stick to their trademark plate, which usually consists of some fried eggs, bacon, beans, and black pudding, depending on the region. There is one food that is a bit controversial, namely black pudding. It is not a pudding but is actually blood sausage. However, if you are not vegan and have no reservations about cooking with pig’s blood, there is a really good chance that you will love our black pudding recipe.

    This black pudding recipe is not beginner friendly and requires some experience in the kitchen. Although we tried to keep our black pudding recipe as simple as possible, there is a good chance that you might find more complex versions. Let’s take a look.
