I've never heard of sweetmeats but sweetbreads are usually the thymus or pituitary glands.

Thanks kay. You are correct.

Lol. And even just simple broths made from bones and a bit of vinegar to help leach out the minerals. Marrow bone broth is simply wonderful.

Davidt4, which brand do you recommend !

Well you are being very presumptuous. I do not ".have a problem eating blood" (as in Black Pudding). I know what brawn is and I have eaten both aswell as tongue, oxtail, liver and lamb neck chops. You just assume that because I have affirmed what Black Pudding contains, that I have a problem with it. I don't. You have taken the comment I made re. Black Pudding being what it is completely out of context.

It sounds weird, but it is very nice with scallops!

Strebor1, I can imagine that it would be, although I haven't tried it yet. I love black pudding and my current favourite accompaniments are apple and bacon.

This is a little gem that I will be storing away for future use. Thank you for that strebor1.

That's interesting.Anyone tried their salami!

Yes please, although both are a bit hard to fing here and when you do find tripe, the price is horrendous. No longer a cheap meat. I was told most was being exported to Japan. They considered it a low fat and therefore excellent form of protein. Judging by the number of times and the ways it is served, I would have to agree with that. . I don't like brains or sweetbreads but do eat the rest as well as hearts.,

I see New World up here stocks Blackball products - must check out their white pudding.A bit surprised to see it contains leeks though - the Irish version doesn't.You never know til you try though=)

I used to like white pudding when I was young (50's-60's) in Dunedin.Butchers don't know what it is when I ask.
BTW do Leckies in Dunedin still make white pudding!

You'll be extremely lucky if they stock white pudding, although I haven't looked for a while.Must try again.

Perhaps they might order it in if I ask!I've asked butchers about it too, and they've never heard of it.Partner's brother sent a recipe from Ireland but it was in commercial quantities - would've made enough to feed an army!Had a weird ingredient too - can't for the life of me remember it's name.It was sort of like course breadcrumbs but I think it wasa grain of some sort.He sent a wee package of it over but I eventually fed it to the chooks as I had no use for it.

The weird ingredient would be rusk I think.You could probably substitute breadcrumbs, maybe toasted.
Yes olwen - it was indeed rusk.Thought of that this morning.Can you tell me what, exactly, rusk is!

Brilliant daleaway - the butcher who processes our home kill (and makes black pudding) said if I could find a recipe for white pudding he'd give it a go.This one looks just right for the job=).
Now, what is pinhead wheat, and what is rusk!

Otterhound I can't help with a definition for pinhead wheat though I imagine it can't be too far removed from pinhead oatmeal. Rusk is best described as hard-baked bread or bread which has been baked to the point of crispness all through. I am interested to see the recipes which daleaway posted for boudin blanc as I have been meaning to try making it for some time.

I may have meant pinhead oatmeal=)What is that! And what is boudin blanc!Thinking it must be along these lines, being "blanc".
