Like a hotdog? Boiling it's not the end of the world if it exists no?

More like *fanny* la rouge!
Instead we have pots if grey jelly-like substance called potted heid.

Bweeeeh, gross. Do ye have packet and tripe? Skirts and kidneys? (I know posh people eat nose to tail these days so yeah)

* not Stollen, 'cos that's different.
It's similar to a hotdog but larger and slightly dryer in texture. Also, as mentioned above it has a thicker skin than a hotdog.

I'm a vegetarian, and have been since I was 18. So nearly 3 years now. But yes, I remember the auld folks boiling tripe and onions in milk, eating pigs' trotters and vinegar on a Saturday, and having black, white and red puddings.
Mince and tatties for tea, but someone unexpected turns up so you put on some white pudding as well.

I've never heard of a red pudding though. That's a new one on me.
Why is no one on this thread adressing the fact that women and men are not friends in this country? That is actually fucked up.

I hadn't heard of red pudding before. After looking it up, it seems to be similar to a saveloy in batter.

Eh? In Ireland? I must have missed that. That's not a fact is it?

It's only battered if served in chip shops. And that'd be in the East of Scotland.
But butchers sell them unbattered in my part of the country, for home consumption. Here is the trinity of puddings:

Are you deliberately obtuse? I mean in the UK. Where I come from (Ireland) men and women socialise together. Here (England) people talk at work about avoiding their wife/husband/partner and think it's normal to never to want to socialise with them. Sneer all you like, and I recognise that the urbs probably aren't like this, but I've never seen this as a normal social dynamic until I came here, and I think it's an awful problem with this country.

The men and a woman not being friends thing. Maybe in the 70s.

This is what is looks like to a foreigner (i.e. what the thread is about).

OK - but I don't think foreigners generally get that impression

Which one? That there's an inexplicable sexist divide?

You're very annoying Orang. I never said this was an across the board thing, just a thing I noticed here that I had never seen back home. It's not all people. But it's common. And it doesn't occur in Ireland.
Don't be defensive. I'm not trying to slag your country. I live here by choice after all. I'm merely trying to make observations as someone from a different country in the interest of having some conversation.

I seem to be annoying a lot of people today so better go to bed.
I just find it a curious thing to say, like saying we don't eat oranges or we don't play golf.

They are ok but if you are going to have sausage and chips, battered sausage wins IMO.

On this I agree with you,
except golf. As far as I'm aware, I don't know anyone who plays golf.

That could be a poster in a vets for dogs in stages of various illnesses. Believe it or not a local health store now sells vegetarian black pudding. fucking why?It's only battered if served in chip shops. And that'd be in the East of Scotland.

frig knows. My friend is a carnivore but likes to play with the dark side. I despised black pudding when I ate meat so when he offered me a taste I smelled it and refused. I'm sure a meat eater could tell the difference but not having eaten meat in 33 years it still stank like dried blood and herbs.

I see that they don't say what they make it from.
OK, I'd probably buy one to try it if I chanced across one, but that somewhat arch response is a bit off.
