Farmer’s Choice Black Pudding – 125g

Black pudding is one of the oldest known sausages. Possibly the oldest. There are many varieties around the world, and there is a train of thought amongst butchers that says making a black pudding is possibly the oldest butchery skill.

Blood sausage first arrived in the UK via European monks. They called it ‘blutwurst’ which means blood sausage. As mentioned, it could be the oldest sausage around. It is referenced in 800 BC and the oldest detailed recipe is from the Romans around the 4th Century. Proper old. The name variant of ‘blood sausage’ moved along to blood pudding and then finally to black pudding, with the term ‘blak podyngs’ being recorded in the 15th century.
