I love black pudding. I generally don't fry it and I eat it as it is because it has already been boiled. A proper black pudding to me must have globules of fat inside to give it flavour.
But people get used to them. Where I grew up in the Chiltern Hills, horses and cows used the roads and there was poo everywhere on the road and on car wheels. My mum used to go round the village with a shovel to pick up the cow pats and horse poo to use in her allotment.
I'm saying why not treat them like horses as in keeping them in a field. It doesn't matter if they poo. In fact it's makes good fertiliser for the garden and allotments.
Cows are characterful, they have different moos based on their mooods and big licky tongues. They are no bigger than horses (I'm not saying we should ride them) and the ones without horns seem friendly to humans.
It would be nice if we didn't look upon them as meat machines or milk machines...
As a teenager, our family used to spend the summer in France, The street markets we used to be able to buy merguez made wth horse meat. They were amazing when you fry them. Lots of very spicy fat was great mopped up from the bottom the pan with French baguette.
Also love Chinese wind sausage...
