A Scottish firm is to launch venison black pudding on the market, following taste trials by food scientists.

Perth-based Seriously Good Venison will start selling the product via its website and at farmers' markets in the central belt from the beginning of May.

In Norway it is known as blodpølse; the French have boudin noir; morcilla is served in Latin America and Spain; and kashanka in Poland.

This black pudding salad looks good enough to convert a few vegetarians (and vegans).

I had venison haggis at The Ubiquitous Chip on Monday. It was very good

Hmm. Would cooked deer blood really be all that different from cooked pig blood?
Can't see it being much more than a gimmick.

Bought some of these recently at a food fair and have to say, they are very nice indeed. Bit apprehensive at first, mind.

This was my immediate thought. I believe that flavour is mainly in the fat rather than lean meat, so that would tend to rule lean venison out for a start.

My favourite black-pudding is Morcillas de Burgos. They tend to contain rice and spices rather than onion and are not fatty at all. I think that the blood is really only a binding agent - coagulation causing the pudding to set. Rick Stein showed them being made on his BBC Spanish trip in a VW Camper Van.

Mmm, I can't wait to try this. Guess its just a case of keeping an eye on this website http://www.seriouslygoodvenison.co.uk/

On a slightly different note, when I was in Lapland, I had reindeer burgers and reindeer kebab. The kebab was one of the best things I have ever tasted.

I tried venison burgers, a bit dry actually.

Bought some "slicing haggis" last weekend in Coventry market - Made a surprisingly pleasant change to Black Pudding with my Sunday fry....
