When my daughter was about 8 or 9 she had some friends in the local sea scout troop. So, she wanted to go and see about joining, too. A visit to the club rooms, looking at the signs, hearing the early part of the intro by the leader. She was out .. Not putting up with any of that god stuff, or queen stuff, or the silly uniform stuff, always has been strong willed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted July 11, 2020 #3130 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Black Pudding is available at one of our local IGA's made by British Sausage Co in Australia. Coles and Woolworths may have it it too, they have a range of British Sausage products. I have tasted ye olde black pudding in UK and on the P&O UK ships, edible, just. A British breakfast delicacy.

Slice it and fry it, tastes just like chicken Lyle. White pudding is also popular in some parts of UK, not seen it in Straya. You need to cruise with P&O UK, or Cunard or Fred Olsen, to get a taste of such delicacy, kippers for breakfast too, like those. As for Haggis, tried that in Scotland, I almost vomited.

Blackduck59 Posted July 11, 2020 #3138 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Haven't brought myself to the mushy peas yet Les. My lovely wife got the sausage rolls at a local bakery, I bought the pie at a well known Vancouver Island grocery chain. They are made at their in house commercial kitchen. No dead horse by By The Bay, I'm saving that particular delicacy for my trip down under. I ate it cold, should have heated it, the bottom crust was a little smushy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted July 11, 2020 #3141 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Docker 123, that much ketchup (red sauce) would last a very long time in our house. Lynn can't eat tomatoes and I use ketchup sparingly. We used to use Heinz but they closed their Canadian plant and the clown who resembles an orange decided to start a trade war with everyone, so being good Canadians we now use made in Canada French's brand Ketchup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandfather was a butcher and evidently made really good black pudding (according to my older cousins). My dad didn’t like black pudding even though he was the butcher’s son so we never had it at home, hence I have never tried it. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted July 11, 2020 #3143 Share Posted July 11, 2020 The pie top looks nice and flakey. Would have been better heated and crisp the bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never particularly liked black pudding but had some in both Ireland and the UK some years ago that was.much milder in taste than what my ex used to get in NZ. I think we also had white pudding at least once and that was OK. Still, I won't be rushing out to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the Heinz products in oz, like sauce, beans, Are now made in nz by Heinz/Wattie. So you can eat them when you get to Aus/NZ, no worries Lyle.
