Talk:White pudding

Untitled
There’s a slight disconnect here. The article defines white pudding as: “pork meat and fat, suet, bread, and oatmeal.” But the version given as suitable for vegetarians merely substitutes vegetable fat for animal fat — leaving the pork meat and suet just lying there for unsuspecting vegetarians.


 * I gather it's the Scottish version that can be suitable. Obviously the Irish one never would be. I've tried to make this clearer. -- Blorg 08:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I've seen white pudding with blood listed as an ingredient. What's up with that?
 * Possibly the wrong label? If you bought it from a small family business, then it is more likely that the labels for black and white puddings could be mixed up. I just checked my white pudding from 'Shaw Meats' and there were no ingredients listed at all. I'm e-mailing them now to ask what is in them.

Shouldn't this be an offal dish rather than meat dish? (no pun intended - I quite like both Scottish and Irish versions)

There is no pork meat in the Scottish version of white pudding at all. Can't say I've ever tried the Irish version. The Scottish recipe only contains oats, animal fat, onions and spices. In the past it was often steamed like haggis and not fried in oil. The fat is usually in the form of beef suet, however I'm sure vegetarian suet could be substituted. In Scotland this would not qualify as a dish made from offal whereas haggis would.--62.249.233.80 16:52, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I've lived in Scotland all my life and have never heard of White Pudding being served with mince and tatties. Neeps yes, White pudding no, its served at breakfast or with chips. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.25.96.244 (talk) 11:26, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Groat Pudding
Have you ever heard of Groat Pudding?

Same ingredients and texture as White Pudding, but includes a handful of whole barley? Very Nice. (Bought them in Plymouth's Pannier Market, the Butcher said they were locally made.)

Slightly more messy to cook, as the whole Barley tends to pop all 'oller the place when it's fryin'! They're real Brammer (Very Nice) for a Janner' Breakfast! TTFN! Chunner (talk) 19:30, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

"Why?" Eh?
someone's added a 'why' superscript (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify) to the bit about prior to around 1990, brain matter being used as a binding agent. surely that's because of the mad cow disease awareness that kicked in around then. but i have no citation for that and don't feel ilke getting involved. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cramyourspam (talk • contribs) 02:38, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Photo
Does the photo actually show black and/or white pudding? It appears to be eggs, beans, mushrooms, pork and "bubbles and squeek" (according to the caption of the photo). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.15.29.155 (talk) 05:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

The links don't redirect anywhere
As I was checking the references in this article, I noticed that most do not redirect anywhere, so I want to make sure that this is a real problem in the article before removing these links. If you see this, let me know or simply fix the dead links, and/or add a suitable template. Thank you. Fenharrow (talk) 03:39, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
