Hockham Admiral Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I was searching for the recipe for this beauty above (didn't find it) when I came across this iteresting website: https://uk.pinterest.com/explore/bacon-grilled-cheeses/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hi John, That gives us food for thought, interesting using the bacon instead of bread to form the toastie. Cheese and bacon are amongst my favourite food groups, I think I would have added a bit of blue cheese and mustard in the mix to spice it up slightly.

Hockham Admiral Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 If you look closely, Alan, you'll see that the cheese is wrapped in bread first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Sorry, but for me it will always be a Bacon n Egg Roll mmmmm delicious! Iain 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Bacon and duck egg rolls with brown sauce and maybe a slice of black pudding for old time's sake. Pure magic! Toastie looks good as well though. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Now a good sandwich toaster is something I could do with. Had one years ago that I never replaced once it was disposed of for some reason I can't quite recall. Something else to look for when I next go shopping ...

MauriceMynah Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 So..., challenge to all... Where the hell can I get some good black pudding? You know the stuff... Black pudding that isn't (nor has ever been) wrapped in black plastic. Black pudding that doesn't taste of MSG. Black pudding that has been made... no... created by a butcher who knows what he's doing. Well? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it in a hotel in Fortrose. The modern BP is done in the plastic sleave I believe for elf and safety issues because blood is used in the mixture. I get a good spiced BP here in Troon, but its the modern fine mixture no big bits in it. I think the one you are meaning was tied at the ends in a hoop with string?

SteveO Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The best black pudding I have eaten recently was at a hotel we were staying in, on Madeira. Beautifully tasty, well seasoned and just as it should be, but served cold as part of a salad buffet, not warm as a breakfast ingredient. Strange, but I soon adapted and enjoyed it very much. A sadder story un the UK. Especially in the South, where I have struggled to get proper BP. Waitrose sell what they claim to be Bury black pudding, but I don't find it remarkable and most of the other stuff you see is in a plastic skin. The search goes on!

BroadScot Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Perhaps our resident Chef, Alan's dad Ian, may know of a supplier in London? Smithfield Market possibly. Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersjoy Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Plenty of good Black Pudding up here in Yorkshire, Iain, what you doing eating BP. Just had my fill of Haggis and Cheese toasties this week. . Paul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Black Pudding is not for me. I am sure you will find a good local butchers that will supply B.P. There is a great butchers in Alrewas (on the A38, the Trent & Mersey Canal goes through this picturesque village), we have called in there many times on our visits on the canal. The shop usually has a queue and their products are second to none, their speciality pies are delicious.http://www.coatestraditionalbutchers.co.uk/index.htmlMore local I have heard very good reports of the butchers in Ludham.RegardsAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black pudding that has been made... no... created by a butcher who knows what he's doing. Well? Anyone know? Calm down MM. Not too far from you in Sorbo City there is a farm shop near Fairlop Station (Central Line) on Forest Road. Find it on Streetmap, they have some genuine black pudding. Also you can get it in the butchers in the Romford Market Place. Most decent butchers if asked politely will get it for you too. Have you tried getting it on the Internet? There must be many artisan pud makers out there that will send you some. As you may know, there are many variants of black pud even abroad they make their own individual recipes. However, despite being wrapped in plastic etc Tesco, Lidl and Aldi do some cracking Lancashire black pudding which is much to my liking. There is a lovely little family butchers just outside Hutton that makes its own bangers etc, perhaps you could give them a try. I have never had their black pud but if their home made bangers are anything to go by it must be ok. Contact: www.oliversbutchers.co.uk/html/cooked_meats.html. I will be passing the shop next Friday and will buy some and give you my appraisal. They also do white pudding as do the Farm Shop and that is delicious too. I have loved black pudding for as long as I can remember as my parents used to buy it. I did not know what it was made from but when I did know, nothing changed. I think it is delicious and really makes a cooked breakfast complete. Hope this helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 How about Archers butchers, on the Plumstead Rd in Thorpe? Among the best known butchers in Norfolk. I am sure Jimmy, or his son, can come up with something authentic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingamybob Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 MM. Unfortunately I was unable today to visit Olivers at Hutton, however I did visit the farm shop at Forest Road near Fairlop Station and unfortunately the black and white pudding they sell there is encased in plastic. DO NOT DESPARE! I have just returned from Romford Market where there is an excellent butchers on the market place which is open every day (not sure about Sundays). I have just purchased there half a black pudding in the natural casing. I am sure that is what you are looking for. Also, I spotted some very rustic home made faggots priced at £1.99 for six and they around tennis ball size. I bought them too and will have them with some lovely home made onion gravy, new potatoes and mixed veggies. Unfortunately? There is a beer feshtival at the Wethershpoonshh In Womford sho I hop you will appreshiate the lenghthsh I have gone to to shatishfy your craving for real black pud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingamybob Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 By the way, the black pud from that shop tastes excellent! Not sure a three day camel ride from Sorbo City would be worth it though. You must have some decent butchers in your area MM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
