Or the 'Holy Grail' the very very hard to come by Mprceilla de Martos, which is a small village in Jaen down in the deep south. This is so spicy that people eat it a purée of pumpkin to help it go down ...

Oh FFFS yet again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy

Am I right in thinking that Bury, Lancashire, is the accredited world centre if black pudding making?

One of my finest memories from about 1990 is being in the queue at a very posh butchers in Sussex where all of the 'luvvies' with their Chelsea tractors, wellies, faux Barbour suits, etc. were waiting for their posh points of Aberdeen Angus, Sussex lamb, etc. to be mad up while Mrs S and I, having rolled up on the Dnepr and basically stinking of mud, oil and genuine Barbour jacket - re-enforced with surplus furniture wax to help the crap waterproof ...

We had a friend's cottage nearby to spend the weekend at so, yes, we too were looking fir f*** off meat, but the black puddings looked great too as just to make conversation I mention that were I was from - the West Midlands - we eat it raw if it's fresh enough. The butcher simply beamed and we shared a few slices there and then while the luvvies began to look as green and their wellies ... (thumbs)

Well the photo of me having a beer was outside the Victory Inn at Staplefield. Still looks like a 'real' pub!



But the butcher's was up a sort of alleyway just off the 'high' street at Cuckfield. I've just tried to find on Goggly but no joy there. Why, do you remember it?
