I was introduced to blood pudding in Scotland, and I *love* it.

  1. In Finland it’s not getting unpopular. Pretty ordinary thing actually. And I do like it, especially with lingonberry jam.

  2. I love it, both Burgos’ style (rice as filler), and León’s style (onion as filler).

    Morcilla is not losing popularity as far as I know

  3. I love blood sausage. It may be loosing it’s popularity in Slovenia, but not that evidently. I think it’s still quite popular.

  4. Morcela is still going strong. If not in barbecues, then to eat with soup.

    We have thinner one in my area for grilling called negrito that’s amazing.

  5. I think black pudding is popular enough in Ireland that it’s not going anywhere. Similarly Morcilla here in Spain is widely eaten. I think these two are here for the long term

  6. I love morcilla, kaszanka and boudin noir. No back pudding so much but it still enjoy it from time to time.
    I guess I like blood sausage.

  7. Black pudding is so popular in the U.K. that we now have a vegan version – and very nice it is too.

  8. (Poland) Compared to when i was a kid – yes, it’s not as popular. It has secured its place as core bbq entry and i don’t see it going away.

    Personally never liked it

  9. In my country, no. But I ate boudin noir in Belgium many times and loved it. Especially during Christmas they have different kinds with spices and raisins and such. It’s great with applesauce.

  10. I used to love it as a kid, I only ate blood sausage when we had sausage for a meal (in Hungary if it’s a meal it usually has all 3 types: normal sausage, liver sausage and blood sausage). I even loved to help to make it when we had a pig slaughtered at home.

    Now I can’t stand it, because I remember the smells of the slaughter and also blood sausage has liver in it which I can’t stand. And if you know the smell of blood, that’s not pleasant either.

    That being said, it’s still widely popular and if you buy sausage even in a supermarket, it’ll likely be a package with equal amounts of normal, liver and blood sausage.

  13. No it’s a staple of cooked breakfasts, it’s not declined in popularity at all. White pudding is also popular in Ireland which is like black pudding minus the blood but different to regular sausages.

  15. Ooo I love the stuff, our local farm shop makes their own with a special herb blend in it and it is sooooo good. Chuck it on the plate with some eggs. Real nice hearty meal.

  16. Hard to tell, I like it. My family members like it. Hard to tell what others eat on a regular basis. As far as I know it’s a common type of food.

  17. Black pudding is fairly popular. Not everyone loves it, but a lot of people do. I personally like it, as long as it’s fried in thin crispy slices.

  18. >I was introduced to blood pudding in Scotland, and I love it.

    I hope you tried proper Stornoway black pudding and not just cheap rubbish from a supermarket!

  19. Blood sausage with barley groats is a winter time staple in Estonia, I love mine oven baked, bacon wrapped and with sour cream

  20. It’s so good, but it probably is getting less popular yeah. We used to have it for lunch at school sometimes, idk if that’s a thing anymore

  21. Had to google it, to be sure if it was the same stuff as the literal Dutch translation of it (‘bloedworst’). It was. I know it exists, but as far as I know, it’s something from several generations ago. Perhaps the very old and poor eat it. It just looks gross.

  22. That is hard to tell, since it’s not a thing people usually talk about. But generally village pig slaughter used to be family and friends event back in the days and nowadays they are more rare(various regulations, prices etc…) so yeah definitely rare.

    As kids we wouldn’t even touch it(yet we eat pig brains with eggs lol), but I started to eat it few years.

  23. Less.

    I love it.

    Two slices, fried on the pan, served on buttered ryebread with apple mash and cinnamon sprinkeled on top.

    For added delicacy, toast the ryebread in the toaster.

    … dammit, now I’m hungry….

  25. There are some people more squeamish about it, but it’s still fairly popular and often eaten for breakfast. In England, Bury Market is still famous for its black puddings. I love it myself, and since I mostly prefer to eat vegetarian food, I’m glad you can get vegetarian versions as well.
