Stornoway black pudding
Stornoway Black Pudding[edit | edit source]
Stornoway Black Pudding is a type of blood sausage traditionally made in the town of Stornoway, Scotland. It is a unique and highly sought-after product, known for its rich and distinctive flavour.
History[edit | edit source]
The origins of Stornoway Black Pudding can be traced back to the crofting communities of the Outer Hebrides. The recipe has been passed down through generations and remains largely unchanged. The pudding gained Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in 2013, meaning that only black pudding produced in the town of Stornoway can be officially labelled as Stornoway Black Pudding.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients of Stornoway Black Pudding are beef suet, oatmeal, onion, blood (usually from a pig), and salt. Some variations may also include spices and herbs for additional flavour.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The ingredients are mixed together and then stuffed into a casing, traditionally a beef intestine. The pudding is then boiled and left to cool before being sliced and cooked. It can be served as part of a traditional Scottish breakfast, or used in a variety of dishes.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
Stornoway Black Pudding is an important part of the culinary heritage of the Outer Hebrides. It is celebrated at the annual Stornoway Black Pudding Festival, where local chefs compete to create the most innovative and delicious dishes using the pudding.
