Directions
Black pudding (blood sausage) is always served with an Irish "fry." These days the home preparation of black pudding may be impractical due to the challenges of procuring fresh pig's blood and suitable casings.
Stew the liver in boiling salted water until tender. Remove the liver, and mince (finely chop).
Reserve cooking liquid. Mix all ingredients in large bowl, stirring until thoroughly blended.
Fill casings with the mixture. Tie off in one-foot loops.
Steam for 4 to 5 hours. Leave until cold.
Cut into ½ inch slices as required and fry in hot fat on both sides until crisped.
Serve as desired with streaky bacon, fried egg, baked beans, etc.

How is this calculated?
how do i prepare it without the casing? just can't afford a machine and hard to find dry intestines here.
over 10 years agoMaybe attempt to wrap in cheesecloth? Or other steam-able casing/dish/container?

Disgusting!!

Rather eat bugs in the New World Order???
You get hungry enough, you won't be turning your nose up...
I’m American and I like black pudding. If you looked at what goes into mist of the food you purchase at the grocery store you probably wouldn’t eat half of it. Black pudding is better for you than the high fructose corn syrup that are in a great many American foods.

I have a farm that will save back pigs blood and freeze immediately. Will freshly frozen pigs blood work?
over 4 years agoAbove. ‘‘Tis not ideal. I think the blood would curdle.
over 4 years agoThe blood does not curdle unless you cook it before freezing. We are in Norway and the only blood you can find easily is frozen and it works just fine if you thaw it.

over 3 years agoI have had this and it is one of my favorite breakfast foods! I wish restaurants would make it here in the US.
over 3 years agoI made Lancashire black pudding in Australia and could only get frozen pig’s blood which is definitely not ideal but it turned out very good and even converted people who previously did not like it 25

Is 120 oz pig's blood is three and a half cups? If so, that seems like a small amount next to 2 pounds of bread crumbs. Anyways, my bp came out very dry. I am thinking too much in the way of bread crumbs.
over 2 years agoThere are 8 ozs in a cup
120 ozs divided by 8 = 15 cups
3 1/2 cups = 28 ozs

Just traveled to Ireland. I fell in love with Black Pudding. I ate it every day I was on that beautiful Island. I must find a way to get pigs blood here in the states.
