Brit abroad Posted February 23, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Goodness, now there's an unusual question! I think (only think, not sure?) that my hubby had some on his full English in the Britannia on our 2007 TA voyage. I am sure someone with more experience will answer with more certainty soon!

Lanky Lad Posted February 24, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Can you get black pudding on the QM2 I know you could on QE2 so I assume you can on QM2 but I am sure some one will know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruachan Posted February 24, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2009 No problem. I've managed to get black pudding on QE2 and on QV, so I assume QM2 should be ok. It's not on the breakfast menu, but if you ask your waiter he'll get some for you. J Can you get black pudding on the QM2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well, you'll find this one an interesting and refreshing change then, because its main ingredient is pigs' blood :eek: J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkyrmc Posted February 24, 2009 Author #12 Share Posted February 24, 2009 a very interesting reply,to the gentleman from across the pond,black pudding is mainly pigs blood with other items of the pig which is then put into into a skin with some seasoning.then best fried for a few mins then it is ready,it looks like a german black sausage.it is right to say it came from germany,originally made my monks.

ovccruiser Posted February 24, 2009 #14 Share Posted February 24, 2009 As already said, they do black pudding on QM2, but personally I find it slightly overspiced. It is ok, but imo not the real deal, much the same as the mushy peas, they are not marrow fat mushy peas, not realy the same:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnpugwash Posted February 24, 2009 #15 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Not to be an anorak, the pigs blood is mixed with cereal and seasoning and then put into casings which traditionally were the intestines of the animal. These are then knotted in 8inch or so links and boiled in salted water for 20 minutes. It is then ready to eat. Most people then would tend to slice and fry the sausage prior to eating. I don't believe the delicacy started life in Germany, Leeds I thought. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruachan Posted February 24, 2009 #16 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I don't believe the delicacy started life in Germany, Leeds I thought. ;) I couldn't care less where it originated - as long as there's plenty of it.

Oh that is nasty - that is cruel and unnatural punishment of the first order. If they'd tried that kind of thing in Gitmo they'd have closed it down years ago. I see you're in Warminster.

capnpugwash Posted February 24, 2009 #25 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I went to try out Fred Olsen, last year and ordered Black Pudding, when it came the sausage was no more than 3cms (1.5 inches) in diameter but it was cut wafer thin with a mandolin and then cut in half so it was half moon shape. What is happening in this world. it was like a crisp. yuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
