I live in Scotland but hail from the town of Bury. I returned up here after Christmas with a bag full of the blighters from Bury Market. I am older and wiser than my young self who always had them cooked for me by my Mum. Thanks for the cooking advice, dont ever let anyone tell you the Scots know a good black pudding. They are fake and poor imitations of the true items to be bought at Chadwicks Market stall back home and they fry the life out of them. Well said. I live in Scotland but hail from the town of Bury.

We used to eat black puddings bought on Bury market - they were known as Bury puddings. My mother always used to boil them, and it never occurred to me that they could be fried until I came down to the bright lights of London and discovered the sacrilegious behaviour of nesh Southerners. In fact they're really two different dishes. Fry them and they're dry (because the fat melts out of them) and granular (crispy on the outside as some people advise when frying!); boil them and they're fatty and unctuous. Which you prefer depends on your personal tastes, your national cuisine, and I guess how you first experienced them. I still boil black puddings of course, but now lament the absence of the huge lumps of fat I was used to as a child (but of course couldn't stand at the time!). Tastes have changed over the years and cuisine now is lighter, less fatty, less meaty, more varied etc - probably all for the better if one's honest. As has been said, they're already cooked so all you have to do is reheat them. DON'T drop them into boiling water - they'll burst and you'll have to just throw the resulting mess away - a slow rise to temperature and a slow simmer is needed. I steam mine, but that's a bit pedantic. 20-30 mins is fine - until you're sure they're hot all the way through. I agree mustard is essential.The really hot English variety of course...

Many of us seem to have lost respect for each other.  The footpath is for pedestrians and they should have right above all else.  As a cyclist and motorist, I am treated well by some other road users and badly by some others, whether they be in a car or on a bike.  However, it is worth remembering that when a cyclist and a car make contact, the cyclist rarely wins and may suffer very serious injuries.  Could you live with that just to make a point or get to nursery on time to collect the kids?

Clearly it was not an original otherwise the whole tone of your response would have been one of adulatuion.  The taste comes from the subtle blend of herbs that are there.  However, it is normal to add plenty of salt and pepper, and esentially, mustard.

Regarding the boiling of steak, well yes, ever heard of ‘Braised Steak’?  What about stews and casseroles?

Regarding my neck of the woods, now where would that be, Bury where I was born, Mid-Wales where I lived for 20 years or Cheltenham where I have lived for the last 20 years?

“Sad person”? Me? you’ve never met me old son, Sad? Not a chance!

“Never read a cook book”. And this coming from someone who can’t even boil a Black Pudding!  Get a life Jaq.

Failing that, get yourself down to Cheltenham and I’ll buy you a pint!

I don’t know where you live, but if you ever find yourself around Cheltenham on the last Wednesday of any month, stick your head around the door and say ‘hello’.  The club website is http://www.folk-at-the-oak.co.uk.  Have a look, register and enjoy some of the music.

Good luck with your playing too.

The Girl with the stew and black pudding.  Brilliant!  She boiled it!  You realise that she must be married now and some other lucky bugger is enjoying her black puddings!
