As part of most breakfasts Black pudding is a common find but in Scotland they have red pudding as well as white pudding.
White pudding isn't that common but you will find it at some swanky restaurants in England.
White pudding has lots of barley, no blood may contain suet/lard and Red pudding is found in Fife, East of Scotland made of beef, pork, pork rind or bacon, suet, rusk, wheat flour, spices, salt, beef fat and colouring which is being less popular these days.
I was lucky I was near Rosyth Fish Bar which had all these pudding choices as well as Mince pie (not the Christmas one and chopped steak).
As a foodie, how could I not try so I got the red, white and black pudding with some chips.
Rosyth Fish Bar were really kind and threw in the Haggis pudding and chopped steak.
The black pudding was the best ever black pudding in my life because the breakfast ones come in slices so you mainly get the crunchy surface but the battered version, you get more of the mushy velvety texture which was amazing and I loved that metallic taste.
With black pudding slices, there is more surface area that is on the griddle hence the dry crispy texture and it s less soft unless you get served a thick slice.
In the battered version, there were less barley and fatty bits compared to the slices so it was literally heaven!
The Red pudding tatses nothing like savloy but it was like mushy bacon and the White pudding had an interesting texture as it had quite a lot of barley in it.
The chopped steak was basically a battered burger.
Definitely recommended if you are in the area especially the black pudding.
