Sublime to the Ridiculous
Fun old pic I found shopping at my local of two polar opposites, a PM Rolex and black pudding/blood sausage. Couldn't get a pic of the Haggis as it was too high up.

Yeah, same here, an acquired taste to say the least. Still haven't tried Haggis tho.

Went to the UK on a school trip, and we dared one of the guys to try blood sausage. He promptly threw it up.

None of us had the courage to try the haggis.

Not a black pudding fan but haggis (plural haggii?) are delicious. Especially traditional ones from old scottish butcher's shops. McSweens certainly suffice for most of the time though!

Delicious! And recently announced as a 'new' superfood. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...s-a-superfood/

Goes great with smoked haddock.

Rice mixed with pig's blood in pig's intestines. Essentially looks like regular sausage.

Nice combo!

I love it when my mom makes blood sausage, it's much better than the supermarker equivalent.

Black Pudding fried with bacon: lovely!
Together with fried eggs, fried bread, sausage & baked beans= 'The English Breakfast'.
Unbeatable!
Sets you up for the rest of the day!

English brekkie is the best and black pudding amongst it is the best way to eat it I reckon.

English food gets a bad rap but classics like Fish and Chips, Shepherds Pie, Roast Beef and Yorkies and Cornish Pasties are all bloody delicious... not to mention the best puddings in the world!

I love a slice of black pudding with an English breakfast.

Haggis is lovely as well.

I have never tried white pudding though !!

For all those on the other side of the pond, sorry as most of you will be trying to work out wtf we are going on about !!

Nice watch by the way.

Not a huge fan of the black pudding, but can't say that I hate it either. The watch, however, is an absolute beauty!
