Whats a white sausage? (keep it clean please)?

Question

I know wat black pudding is but my butcher sells white pudding/sausage. I think its a scottish thing?

Answer 1

White pudding is basically the same as black pudding, but doesn't include blood. (Traditionally) it's made of pork fat, meat, bread, oats, and suet. It is eaten in Scotland and Ireland.

In Germany and Poland, white sausage refers to sausages similar to English style sausages, as opposed to continental style (Chorizo, for example).

Answer 2

Depends on what region it is associated with. Germans have the bavarian region weisswurst, which is made with spices and pork and such. But since it is referred to as pudding, I'm guessing it is from somewhere in the UK and it can be all sorts of stuff. Ask the butcher.

Answer 3

Too hard! Bratwurst from Germany seemed pale to me! In Chicago, where I'm from, the stockyards are a source of pride & so our hot dogs are 'RED HOTs' in color as well as colorful flavors of beef. I'd think that plenty pultry poultry items & pork would tend to make the sausage 'white'.

Answer 4

Like one of the repondants said, the German Weisswurst is made with pork and veal, milk, white bread crumbs, steamed and then fried.

There is also a Cajun sausage called Boudin Blanc, made with pork, pork fat, cooked rice and spices, it is generally only serve poached or boiled.

When I was a chef we used to make a seafood version, with scallops, white fish like sole, no meat products, cream white bread crumbs and egg whites, you roll it in saran wrap and poach it in simmering water.
