The accent in my area of France is quite pronounced. Take the word for Black Pudding for example; in French it is Boudin but where I live it is pronounced Boudang. It takes some getting used-to.
I have a love/hate relationship with Black Pudding. Most of that sold in the main stores here in the UK is tasteless, with the texture of cardboard.
Considering that Lancashire is renowned for it's Black Pudding, one would have thought that it would be easy to find a good quality product. But no!
The one above, that I buy in France, is called Boudin Landais (Black Pudding from the Landes area), and comes from my Leclerc supermarket. It is delicious, and I can't understand why I can't buy something as tasty here.
Kimbo knows all about my love of the product, and on a recent trip to a nearby Farm Shop (in Firle nr Lewes), he bought me the home made BP below. I think he was fed-up with all the nasty stuff I keep offering him on Friday mornings.
Well, yesterday I tried it (below), and it was probably the best I've had in Blighty. The egg was a Duck Egg.
I am perfectly aware that Black Pudding is not to everyone's taste, but it is one the oldest forms of charcuteie, and is actually very good for you.
