Les Delices De Cumbria - Part V
If you happen to visit the Kirkstile Inn in Loweswater (worth it for their own micro-brewed beer), be sure to eat there too, and be sure to try the house black pudding. Two slices, deep fried. Yes, I know it sounds on the revolting side of unlikely, I know you're not supposed to do this kind of thing any longer, and there's a joke about Mars bars struggling to get out, but the dish is absolutely sensational. Batter light as a feather, blood sausage deeply textured, sauce intense and delicious. Food of the gods.

I concur, I had black pudding with apple and Bearnaise sauce, presented very daintily, in Huntington's Bistro in Brampton recently.
Even managed to find it in Inverness a year or so back although I think they called it Haggis (tasted and looked like Black Pudding).
Lovely stuff and it's great to explain what the black stuff is to a vegie American friend... :)

Splendid stuff - it certainly insulates against the cold up there in winter (or summer, come to that . . .)
