    I need to find this black pudding here; so far the ones I had are not so great. Have you ever tried making it yourself? I imagine it’s pretty difficult but I’m tempted to give it a go! 🙂

    Now that’s a thought! My father still talks about the squealing of the pig as it was getting killed at home, with the fresh blood all turned into black puddings. Jack was telling me that a lot of people nowadays use dried blood that they rehydrate. Let me know how you get on if you do try!

    I’m very much looking forward to tasting both the pudding and the air-dried beef tomorrow. Mr McC. was kind enough to add a sample of each to my purchases when I made my first visit on Friday.I love those Confreries, with the robes and all that.

    Sounds like you were on a day out! Hope you enjoy the meats.
