        I generally find black pudding isn't quite as delicious as it looks or my palate expects

        But I live in hope Which is strange considering what it's made from!

          Black puddings are traditionally made all over Europe, and they have big black pudding fests all over the place, too. Even in the Philippines there are traditional dishes made from, er, some of the key ingredients to black pudding, though not made as a sausage...

            Good for you! (Not letting the elements prevent you from going on your walk). I feel a bit sorry for the dog though!

              I actually don't know the area that well as, when we were in England (I spent much of my childhood in the far east), I lived in Essex.

                There isn't a person alive today who can categorically prove who made the very first black pudding, as in mediaeval times they were made and consumed throughout Europe, and indeed long before that. However Bury is recognised (not that it really matters... ) as the originator of the black pudding simply because it has promoted the dish and developed the recipes for longer than any other claimant or region.

                An A to Z of Food and Drink by John Ayto (Oxford University Press) acknowledges this, as do many historical / culinary / cultural authorities on the subject. If this is now subject to debate, we should perhaps collate our research and come up with a definitive spiritual home for the great black pudding..........or perhaps not
                I bow to your superior knowledge on it's origin but I stand by where the best Black Pudding comes from............... Stornoway

                  ian you should def go next yr.we always say same oh we'll go next yr & never do.it realy was soooooo much better than on tv only thing was i tried being clever & didnt want to stand on waterloo bridge which was near on empty at 9pm no i had to go down onto embankment sardines or what & the view wasnt anywhere near as good if you wanted to take pics there was hardly any uninterupted space ie heads/lamp posts /boats all in your view.
                  worsttttt was getting back out after it truly was a nightmare everyone from embankment was filtered to charing cross there was thousands so def def not anywhere to be taking at least under 14 years + who wouldnt be able to find their way home when not if they get lost or seperated from you..but still fantastic night display was superb

                    Hi Ian...sorry I hadn't seen that reply of yours, so don't think I was intentionally rude in not answering! Whereabouts in Melbourne does her sister live & what does she think of it & Australia in general! I find parts of Melbourne in particular quite sterile...meaning without wildlife of any consequence apart from the odd possum or 2! But coming from Africa causes me to be a tad biased with that regard. Australia is a fine place in general apart from the heat

                      Hi Jocelyn,

                      Not sure where in Melbourne - I will try and find out. They are out there for a few years with the company her husband works for, so I believe the plan is to return eventually.

                      Having been born in Australia (Newcastle) but not having been there for 42 years, I do have a certain fascination with the place!

                        A very late posting. Serves me right for taking it on film. Scanning is not my favourite pastime.
