Troll? Moi? How very dare you?

I simply step back from the thought of eating congealed blood, monkeys' brains, chickens' feet, sheeps' eyeballs, cowpats, environmentalists' testicles and such like stuff....

Oh, the very thought of it...pass the sick bucket...

... And I suppose, Carpaccio, Steak Tartare, Sushi.

This sort of stuff is very good for you, it's how we were designed to eat it, before the idea of sacrificing food before eating came along.

Liives on Stormaway - you mean lives in Stormaway. Its a town no an Island

You've put an extra "i" in lives.
You've spelled Stornaway wrong.
You've a missing apostrophe in Its.
You've wrongly used a capital in Island.

I am always happy to try something new and often choose the weirdest item on the menu when abroad.

I love black pudding and monkey brains weren't too shabby at all, Dolphin was delicious, Cobra was also good, the still beating heart and shot of snake bile not so much, I didn't get the fuss about chickens feet but loved stuffed ducks neck.

Scottish black pudding is more like fried slices of Haggis than a real black pudding. Hate it when hotels don't make it clear they're serving the dodgy Scottish stuff.

I suppose if you are going to fry it, any old stuff will do.

Proper black pudding comes from Lancashire and is correctly cooked by poaching it. It is then eaten with buttered Lancashire oven bottom muffins and English mustard.

They sell Stornoway black pudding in Costco in Scotland but not sure about down south. Its about £6 about a foot long and cuts up and freezes well.

This is the stuff you want http://www.charlesmacleod.co.uk

Unfortunately it's not. It's about £3/foot and is not of the crumbly variety, it also has large chunks of fat, although still much better than some other Black Pudding's i've tried!

Costco sell 2 varieties at Edinburgh, one is Stornoway and the other is as you describe.

IF you have an eastern european shop nearby, its well worth trying their blood sausage especially romanian.

My mate brings me back Horse meat salami and Horse black pudding and both are delicious.
