"Black Pudding" sounds like a good diet food, if it was placed in front of me I would not eat.

Black pudding has to be tried to believe it. It is one of the best foods ever. I think it is best with fried egg. I dont usually eat breakfast. I like a mixed grill at the weekend occasionally which is sort of like an English breakfast (at least when I make it)
I took my time, I hurried up, The choice was mine, I didn't think enough

The only time I have a "full English" is if I'm at a hotel or guest house and it's included in the price. Even then I tend not to eat much of it.

Oddly enough, I had a coronary a few years back. It was not caused by eating fatty foods or the like, in fact my diet at the time could have been described as very healthy. What caused it was STRESS, purely and simply. Black puddings would have been a once in a blue moon treat, as the the butchers shops here change hands so often, you don't know what you are getting.

Well, everyone has their own tastes in food. No point in over-extolling the virtues of a particular favorite food, because other nations often find the idea of them abhorrent. I've noticed from previous threads that many Americans don't eat 'organ meat', ie liver, kidney etc.. Now me, I just hate figs to the point of obsession. Even writing this makes me nauseous, I can't stand them! It got even worse when someone told me there was some yukky wasp in every fruit, how true is that? I doubt if I will ever taste witchity grubs or chocolate coated ants or roasted locusts either, for that matter, and hot chillis, NO!

Mais Alan, est-ce que tu aime les escargots, ou les jambes de grenouille?

Black pudding seems to be the same as Austrian "blood sausage". Often served fried in slices with sauerkraut. I hardly ever get it, but fried with fried potatoes it tastes good! Gloria: stop talking about Hungarian food! I get hungry! I used to spend my summers some 40km from Balaton years ago, with a Hungarian cook and for some evenings a real nice restaurant in the small city of Zalakomar nearby...

Ah! Touché mon mec! Bouffer a la pelle! [ shovel it in!]. How about some thin sliced smoked wild sea-trout with lightly scrambled free range eggs, caper sauce, a fresh baked baguette, black coffee, hot croissants, jus d'orange pressée? Silver cutlery, crisp white table linen gently undulating in the warm morning breeze, Altlantic Ocean breakers rolling in a muffled roar up the beach below the hotel terrace. Maintenant nous parlons le petit déjeuner francaise! Alan

Patat, met Maijonaise en Croquette. hmmmmm Chips, Mayonaise and Croquette. hmmmmm A croquette, looks like a type of sausage but it ins'nt. It has some type of ragout in it, hard to explain but it tastes delicious. You can dip the chips in the ragout, it makes me hungry now. Anyone going to The Netherlands has to try it.
