Absolutely, August. Some Brits will put just about anything in their mouths (this does, of course, convey important benefits in some ways).

Personally, I stopped eating red meat during the BSE crisis, and have never gone back - don't miss it, and better for my heart. Although I am not a member of the food police - people can eat whatever they like as far as I'm concerned - just don't make me eat the following -

Brains
Tongue
Heart
Tripe (just the thought of it makes me heave, and the taste confirms that thought)
Sweetbreads
Black pudding (the breakfast 'delicacy' mentioned already).

All pretty disgusting, in my opinion.

Nice story about the latter. One the UKs leading chefs, Nick Nairn, once did a TV series showing food around the country. The black pudding in the show was made by a woman in a Highland cottage. Nairn tells this story against himself. He and the camera crew had a good drinking session the night before, and poor Nick woke to this woman bringing in a bowl full of steaming fresh blood to start the pudding-making process. The camera crew were most amused by the reaction of Nick's already rather delicate stomach that morning...

The biscuits some of you are referring to is 'black pudding'. Usually sliced and fried along with fried bread, bacon, eggs mushrooms, tomatoes, beans sausages etc.

Have any of you had dripping? Before telling you what it is, I'll tell you how some of us eat it: spread on toast with a little salt. mmmmmm

For those not in the know:
'Dripping' is the fat left over from roasting meat, pork, beef, lamb (chicken? never had chicken dripping myself). You drain it into a container and let it congeal as it cools. What you end up with is a sort of fatty paste, which you then use as a butter substitute on toast; at least that's the way I've always had it, with a little salt shaken over it.

I put a bit of dripping in a pan, use that to fry my bacon or sausages and then
drop a slice of bread or toast into the pan before it gets cold.

Perfect!

Black pudding or blood pudding is an English term for sausage made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled.

Yeah thats the one I wasn't able to explain what I see when I first saw it

English breakfast as breakfast is very delicious to me but this black pudding ? common it ruins the apetite

The Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum were two tape fed machines I used to own

Oh now I get it, black pudding. We have something similar here, it's called mustamakkara. Very good with lingonberry sauce.

I think the British approach to food is kind of similar to that of the Chinese. Waste nothing.

@ Jimbuna

I remember the good old ZX Spectrum you had to sit there while the tape made this ear busting beeping and squealing and when it finished you played a game that looked like a kids painting.
Dam those were the days
See im not angry at all.

Since about 1888 does anyone really care what the Brits think? They are another country which lives under the umbrella of American largess. Mr. Obama is taking it all away. Perhaps it is about time Britain and other nations in that part of the world protect their own tax income. Islam and others are coming. You aren't ready.
