I would accept mushrooms under the right circumstance.
I don’t know haggis but black and white pudding really depends on where you get it from. The cheap supermarket varieties, I would agree, are rubbish.
The Belgians have the equivalent.
Boudin noir and boudin blanc.
I spent a year over there when I was 22-23 and worked on a farm across the road from my sister’s place.
I helped raise, knowing what feed they were getting on a daily basis, a group of piglets to maturity.
Phillipe and Ingrid the farmers only bought in the number of pigs that they had ultimate buyers for.
For example in the terrace of homes across the lane, my sister and her neighbours would sign up to buy half a pig or a full pig etc.
I was there from piglet to the slaughter that was done by a butcher brought in.
I held down the pig as he was bolted to the head. As his body spasmed, his jugular was slit and we collected the blood for the boudin noir.
That’s the reality of your food.
There was something comforting however about knowing everything about every cut of meat that you were buying.
It went straight from farm to seal to freezer.
And the boudin was fabulous.
Here in Ireland Conakilty pudding is seen as one of a few gold standard.
Choose anything you get from the supermarket wisely.
Puddings like sausages can be good quality or garbage.
