White Pudding Help!
I had a friend go up to Scotland (Girvan in Ayrshire) this weekend, and asked if they would please bring me back some haggis, ayshire bacon and white pudding. I particularly asked for the white pudding to be sausage shaped.
He went to three butchers and was told in all of them that there is no call for the sausage shapes, so he could only get slices for me. It's a lot of years since I was in Scotland (about 30 years in fact!), but is that true? Does no one sell sausage shaped white puds anymore? I've been on lots of websites today looking, and indeed they are all sticks for slicing. I'm delighted to be getting a taste of white pudding after all these years...but I so well remember the treat of a white pudding supper from the chipper on the way home from the pub! If anyone's got any idea of a butcher where I could contact to see about these, I'd be so grateful. It's become an obsession now

White pudding in slices?!?! I've never heard of that. Lorne sausage comes in slices - white pudding in sausage shape.
Also white pudding has no meat in it so why would you get it from a butcher? |

Most Black Puddings have no meat in them. Why would a butcher sell that?

Pudding always comes sausage shaped and wrapped from the butcher. You just slice it and fry/grill it.

dripping is meat derived
you cannot get it without cooking meat, a dirty vegetarian cannot eat dripping |

I don't think people were disputing that Black/White puddings do not contain animal products (casings, lard, dripping, suet, back fat etc.). Some recipies contain actual meat as well.

Also white pudding has no meat in it so why would you get it from a butcher? White pudding has always been sold where haggis, red pudding, fruit pudding, black pudding are sold to the best of my knowledge. Even the butcher who used to carry scottish food down here had white pudding - where else would you get it, apart from a supermarket I suppose. |

When i buy it, it's always sausage shaped. If you could give me a name and phone number, I'd be delighted to phone Scotland and try to get him to send me a parcel. Honestly, google White Pudding, and there are plenty of butchers supplying it for delivery, but they are ALL sticks for slicing. And all the haggis are the same - no sausage shaped ones! Macbeths butchers is the first google hit, and they do some delicious looking packs - but all the puddings are actually sticks. |

What's with the "Scottish" pudding?
It's all the same. You can buy the cheap stuff and you can buy "Dennys", which is the best here in Ireland. |

Is Irish white pudding the same as Scottish, though? In Scotland it is made from oatmeal mixed with suet.
And, as to where to get it, most Co-ops sell sausage-style mealie puddings. |

I don't think it is the same because Irish white pudding has meat in it.

http://www.johnsaunderson.co.uk/Pages/Products.htm Mind you, my daughter has just announced that she's driving up to Glasgow with a friend tomorrow! So if I can find a glasgow supplier who sells sausage shapes, then she'll be taking the cool box and some money! Mutton pies seem like a good idea too.... |

Black pudding is largely made of pig's blood and bits of fat..... no meat as such but lots of animal derived product ! A butcher would sell that quite logically because when an animal is slaughtered, it is bled, and the by products are kept and made use of !
