Black Pudding anyone?

[Insidious Von]

Where can I find black pudding for breakfast in Toronto?

When I lived in Italy, my parents raised their own food. When an animal was butchered, nothing was wasted. Being an urbanized Torontonian there are somethings I miss. I've never had black pudding in my home city, something I must correct. Any suggestions?

Any halfway decent British Pub should have it I would think. Might have to go early for breakfast

Queen and Beaver serves traditional British food, good brunch on weekends. Their blood sausage is decent.

I-Von, your Italian black pudding won't taste the same as British stuff. Each sausage-loving nation makes it totally different.

Now my old Welsh Gran for instance.....

I've never had British-Irish blood pudding, I'm keen to try.

My parents used to make it from the rabbits they raised when we lived in Italy. They and my uncle were on to something, none of their children ever grew up with any allergies or asthma.

German blood sausage is made to go with beer. It's good on it's own but you're missing something if you don't combine the two. The best blood sausage I've had was made from wild boar from the Marche region of Italy. The best episode of Jamie's Italian Escape was from his time in that region.

My WASP up bring kept me away from such old world delicacies such as blood pudding and haggis. As Mike Myers said once - much of it seems more like a dare.

Once I started travelling and over came many of my phobias some of the food tasted good. Asian food is a bigger barrier for me - I now love sushi with salmon and tuna but the insects - not yet.
