I've tried this, now I think on it. It was good. I'll try an Alsation Gewurtzthingummer with the large tub of reeking homemade kimchi I bought at the school fair.

It's a sealed air con environment from May to November.

I imagine Black Pudding is one of the few things that can give Kimchi a run for its money.
[tangent]
instead of frying it to a crisp try cooking sliced Black Pudding in the oven; gentler and doesn't destroy the flavour. Then again, some might want to destroy the flavour.

Man, it's been a long day. I'm overheated, tired, and hungry. As bizarre as it may seem, I want hot kimchi, cold salted beer, and black pudding, in that exact order.

Update: The Spouse™ tells me he's getting something from Selfridge's Food Hall for supper. Lovely, I think. Stuffed chicken breasts, it turns out. MMM... not the black pudding sausage roll he got before.
Stuffed with what?
Black pudding.

Can I interrupt this stomach-churning thread with a little pedantry in defence of Black Pudding? When made traditionally it isn't made with lumps of fat. The white chunks should in fact be pieces of thymus gland, a gland situated somewhere near the ribcage which a young mammal (although we're only interested in the young pig) uses to check its immune system is working properly. An adult pig just uses it to make black pudding taste fabulous.

Thymus gland? Just when I thought it couldn't possibly get any worse....

Ugh! That's just offal.
Offal. See...it's like...aw-ful.
Oh, forget it.
(My mum used to cook us sweetbreads for a treat. That's the pancreas, I believe.)

Sweetbreads are the thymus gland. Not that it's any better that way....

Eigon,
My apologies, lights are the lungs. I've found a rather off-putting website that makes this point. However, it also claims that both thymus and pancreas are sweetbreads. However, they are throat and stomach sweetbreads respectively. The spleen is called milt. However, if somebody is desperate enough to be eating this little lot, then I don't think the name really matters. The only wine to go with these would be enough to stop you caring.

You gotta wonder what horrible famine made somebody think to themselves "You know? That little hunk of thymus is looking mighty tasty..."

The recipe dates back to a time when there were far fewer ingredients available than there are now. Meat was for the well off or for special occasions and you didn't waste anything. Nor could you afford to be squeamish. Black pudding was an economical way of making it all go just a little further.
Celtic literature has a good few descriptions of feasts. There is an ancient Irish story, which reads like the fantasy of someone on the verge of starvation, where the hero dreams of a sumptuous hall built out of food, with pillars of butter, cheese and boiled pork. That was about as good as it got until the Romans arrived and brought a lot of their own cultivated fruits and vegetables.

Reminds me of "chitlin's and gritlin's" and watching folks buy tongues and stomachs at the Winn Dixie.
However I will buy the smoked pig hocks to cook with the black-eyed peas. Yummy! The proper wine might be ta-da...Shiraz! That's if moonshine ain't available.

JediJudy,
Stuff Shiraz. By the sounds of that delightful melange, I'll just go for Meths and hopefully I'll kill off the brain cells that deal with taste and smell...Pass me the ketchup

If texture's the problem why not just puree all these delightful bits and pieces and have an offal smoothie ? Tastes just as bad but goes down quicker. Add some garlic icecream for a lovely icecream float. Hmmm, yummy....

Oh, sweetbreads--it's been years...reminded me of this country French restaurant I used to go to when I lived in civilization. Sweetbreads in a cognac & cream sauce--absolute heaven. They're a bit of a pain to prepare though. I could never quite duplicate their recipe.
Now in Portland there was this supermarket with a large Asian clientele--I was afraid to walk past the meat counter for fear of the packages of beef testicles and pig uteri...
