[Food] The best black pudding in Brighton?

[Chopera]

Contrary to popular opinion in the UK, black pudding is not some northern peculiarity but a popular food eaten all over Europe. If you can get hold of some "morcilla de Burgos" is particularly good (it contains a bit of rice, onion and spices as well) and is eaten all over Spain

Great shout…it’s incredible : Had it a few times in Madrid, even in the smart restaurants they serve it with fries and a fried egg for lunch. Fantastic

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Absolutely love it. Got a delivery from the Bury BP company last Father’s Day….one standard, one chilli flavour…….they’re £5 for a 1.3kg stick. Freezes very well so just sliced it up and froze it in meal-sized packs (easily cooked from frozen as well). Glorious.

Never tried black pudding and just looking at it, I know I never will.

It's threads like this that keep me coming back to this place.

the best I've ever had was about 20 years ago from the greasy spoon cafe at the bottom of whitehawk that the police car crashed in to near Arundel Rd I think?

The bloke who sells the sausages at Southdown Garden centre (Knights of Ditching?) does a decent pre sliced vacuum pack of it but it doesn't meet the criteria of Brighton unless having a BN6 postcode can be classed as a tenuous link?

If you can cope with a trip north to Burgess Hill, Thornes butchers in the Martlets sell a really nice triangular black pudding which I believe is made somewhere locally - used to be able to get it in the Garlic Wood Farm butchers in Steyning before it closed.

I has nice chunks of hard fat in it which keeps it moist during cooking.

They are Albion fans in there in support fellow seagulls.

You take that back!

Hell no. Enjoy your world of bland beige-ness.

Not just in Europe but around the world. Who wouldn't like a bit of blood in sausage form?

Anyone tried a “Manchester egg”? I’d like to give that a go. If the yolk is still warm and runny, that could be very nice indeed. Thoughts?

I've made them before with quail's eggs. Pretty damn good.

This thread reminds me of my offshore days.

6AM cooked breakfast then11AM break you would get what hadn't been scoffed earlier.

If you were lucky there would be a black pudding roll...

Ooh. I love a quail’s egg scotch egg. A member used to bring them into the Trades and Labour club in Brighton. The yolks still warm.

With a chicken’s egg I’d want a big mug of tea to wash that down with

They used to do it in the all day BF in Bystander; haven't been in there for a while though. Love it me.

I do like a bit of black pudding but white pudding should be more widely available, that is lush and easier to eat lots of.

I took the J-wife to Ireland 5 years ago and had brekkie in a greasy spoon type cafe where they served both black AND white pudding. She bloody loved it.

A friend of mine goes over to Ireland regular and as well as the brilliant potatoes he brings us back white pudding. And very nice it is too. Though I prefer the texture of black pudding. My family are from Belfast so it’s a lovely reminder of childhood holidays back with the family and the Ulster Fry.

Should have white pudding too I think.

Morcilla is where it's at
