Depending which part of Britian or Europe your from it can varie, while some of the others have said some rather harsh things, it is like any other breakfast sausage.
Being a former chef , and of English, Irish, Scottish and German heritage, they consist mainly of ground pork, spices, filler ( this can be depending on the country and area, wheat crumbs, oatmeal, rye meal, potato starch or cooked rice) pork fat, mik porducts, blood ( this creates the black part), and natural casing.
You poach them in salted water, then either fried whole or in slices, and like spicy Italian sausage with fennel or hot peppers, they do take a bit of getting used to, but if ever in England and have the opportunity to have a "Full English Breakfast" with eggs, bacon, sausage, black pudding, baked beans, fried tomato and fried bread, a big meal but the best way to taste and enjoy or not the flavour of the Black Pudding.

Black pudding, blood sausage or blood pudding is a sausage made by cooking down the blood of an animal with meat, fat or filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. In the West, pig or cattle blood is most often used, sheep and goat blood are used to a lesser extent, while blood from poultry is very seldom used. In fact, there are ancient references to sausages made with blood, e.g. from Homer's Odyssey - "As when a man besides a great fire has filled a sausage with fat and blood and turns it this way and that and is very eager to get it quickly roasted...".

It's an aquired taste, popular in the UK. If you have a weak stomache, you really don't want to know. If you still do, here's a link with the info.
