Cultural Delight: Black Pudding

Fun fact: black pudding is first mentioned in 800 BC in Homer’s The Odyssey.
The flavor of black pudding can be nutty and meaty but also rich with a little bit of sweetness, depending on what kind of blood it contains. There are several ways to prepare this delicacy. Frying black pudding is the most popular method, but some dishes call for you to bake it instead.
