Bronwen Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 What do Glasgow chippies have against the humble white pudding?? I can't find any fish and chip shop that sells white pudding in Glasgow, so can anyone inform me of one? I miss my white pudding and no I don't want haggis either. Quote
chrysalis_stage Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 This may sound stupid but...what is white pudding? I have never heard of it and half my family are from scotland. Quote
Bronwen Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 It's sort of like haggis pudding only much lighter and without the disgusting bits (I do like haggis occasionally by the way, but not from a chippie). White pudding is made from mostly oatmeal I think - it has bits of suet, onions and spices too (just looked that up) and it's also sometimes referred to as 'mealy pudding'. Quote
Charm Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Oh I love white pudding! I like black pudding too I've never heard of a chippie selling it though We get it out of a butchers over here and cook it ourselves, have you tried a butcher shop? Quote
Bronwen Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 Is the white one nice? Yes, that's why I miss it so much. I'd recommend at least trying one, they are yum (if you can find one, that is!) And if you do find one, let me know, I'll be right over there! Quote

Nope, always got it from the chippie before, battered like they do the fish. I don't like black pudding - granted, never really given it much of a chance but I don't like the reason it's black in the first place Quote
Inver Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I think it must be an area thing. My fave it red pudding, but can't remember where we were and they weren't available. You got me wanting a puddin supper now... Quote
Heather Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Red pudding?! What is that?! This is red pudding from wikipedia:~ Red pudding is a meat dish commonly served mainly only at chip shops in parts of Scotland as an alternative to fish (see fish and chips). The ingredients consists of bacon, beef, port, pork rind, suet, rusks, spices, salt, beef stock, beef fat and colouring. This clumpy red coloured food is then formed into a large sausage-like shape of roughly eight inches in length, no different to its black and white pudding family. To encase it, the food is coated thick in batter and then deep fried, ready to be taken away served hot. Bought on its own it's known as a single red, or when accompanied by chips it is known as a red pudding supper. The taste is said to be similar to a saveloy, a type of pork sausage, though battered sausage is also served in Scotland (in addition to red pudding on menus) that could be more akin to saveloy.
