I dunno know, let's try.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

OMG as a child I used to love it when my parents took us to Bury Market and we would buy a hot black pudding off one of the stalls and walk around the market eating it. I haven't found any decent black puddings over here. (and one cannot find fresh pigs blood to make ones own)

I am so happy to read that there is at least ONE person in USA who appreciates a good black pudding.....lol

But I am a Lancashire lass. Born and raised in Gracie Fields home town - birth of the Co-Op movement - Rochdale:)
Moved to the USA when I married my GI husband - who I adore!

I am a Lancashire lad born and bred. Liverpool is my home town and if anyone mentions Beatles I will go nuts.
Even though you are a young Lancashire lass you are still in USA and you know about Black Pudding....to me...this makes you tops....lol;)

You are soooo fickle young man :D

We love the Beatles :cheer::cheer::cheer: We love the Beatles :cheer::cheer::cheer:

Love vegetarian black pudding.....:D

Young Man..wow......I could fall in love with you...lol

Never heard of Vege black pudding so I had to google it as I did think you were pulling my leg.

This should appeal to the Americans who dont seem to have the stomach to eat normal BP.

First vegetarian black pudding has Lancashire meat lovers spluttering - This Britain - UK - The Independent

Now the big question is......

Can you cook the BP in a Halogen oven....lol

Oh by the way.... My first wife went to school with Ringo Star and she had no time for him whatsoever...... Thought he was an oversized ego on legs....lol

Aha! I'm not as daft as I look.....:rolleyes: :p

Love veggie haggis too.....what a wimp I am! :D And Ringo was all hooter and no trousers....apparently! :thumbdown

I would gladly try the veg versions :thumbup:

I tried both in original form and was none too impressed :eek: :eek:

Just imagine what I'd have to be writing on that Customs Form...:eek: :D

Veggie haggis is actually delicious, quite spicy and 'meaty' - it's worth trying if you can find it :) When my daughter was little, I told her a haggis was a small animal, and she wrote about it in her 'news book' at primary school....:sidesplt: !!

That will teach you not to tell fibs to a kid...rofl...lol

This is another good one to try. Joan found this on a Google search.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

1 pound lamb rack
5 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
1/2 Tbsp of olive oil for the lamb
1 /2 Tbsp of honey
1 /2 Tbsp of Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp of sea salt
1/2 tsp of rosemary, finely chopped
4 large yellow potatoes
1 large sweet potato
1 Spanish onion
1 bulb of garlic
2 Tbsp of olive oil for the vegetables
Preparation:

Heat the oven to 350F.
Cut the potatoes and sweet potatoes into 1 inch thick pieces.
Cut the onion in half and remove the outer layer of skin.
Place 2 Tbsp of olive oil into a baking tray.
Place the vegetables including the garlic bulb in the tray and coat them in the oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake the vegetables on the bottom oven rack for 45 minutes.
When the vegetables have been baking for 15 minutes add the chopped garlic, breadcrumbs, 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil, rosemary, salt, honey and mustard into a mixing bowl.
Stir well until it forms a paste.
Spread the paste evenly over the lamb rack.
Place lamb in the oven directly on the grill over the vegetables. This will allow for the drippings to collect with the vegetables.
By now the vegetables should have been cooking for 25 minutes.
Roast the lamb for 20 minutes for rare meat or 30 minutes for well-done.

:D Actually, Anna's news books were a revelation.....:sidesplt: :eek:

Love the look of Joan's recipe - she's a good girl :)

You know, there are times when it is a good thing you cant read everything kids write about in school.
a kid can be so brutely honest and embarrassing and you only get to read it on a parents day.... lol
