You would have thought that but I remember long ago being told it was something more than just that, I just cant remember what the tale was.

Reet - done some research...Black pudden in Britain was first made in Stornoway, on the Isle of Lewis. However mentions of blood sausage are to be found in ancient Greek history and as I said above, most cultures have a version of black pudden.And the best black pudden ever is made in Keighley, at Jack Scaife's. Youll be telling me mushy peas are lancastrian, next!
