When I was a child I used to eat Sunday dinner with my Great grandparents, it was family thing. They used to make this stuff called blood pudding. They were straight off the boat from Ireland, I was wondering if anyone has heard about this food before or if I am remembering it wrong?

You remember correctly. Ireland and the rest of Europe make a dish called blood pudding, or black pudding. They cook animal blood with fat or meat until it is thick enough to congeal into a pudding or a sausage when it is cool. It's actually a bit tastier than it sounds, and one can find it at various Irish (and some other European) restaurants in the US.
Other countries call it:
Ireland: 'blood pudding/sausage'
French: 'boudin noir'
Spanish: 'morcilla'
German: 'blutwurst'
Italian: 'sanguinaccio'

Yup, blood pudding is indeed a very old dish. Remember, to eat an animal in days past meant eating it all. I think Irish blood pudding is drippings from a roasted animal.

I have heard it reported that that is scrumptious.....besides the indisputable fact that the seen eating fried congealed blood is nauseating. i must admit although....for the period of a visit to the Philippines, basically to be sociable, I ate a bowl of congealed blood blended with chopped up pigs liver and lungs, (they call it "chocolate pudding") cooked in a huge wok. I were given it down with the help of a few stubbies of beer...yet i does not cautioned it!

No, you are not remembering it incorrectly.
My Dad was from N.I. and it is part of their culture/breakfast. I grew up eating it as well. Have not had it in years though.
The other name for it is "black pudding meat".

No, there is/was such a thing. This link has the recipe. It was made from the blood of a pig and we all know that traditionally, nothing of the pig goes to waste, but the squeek.
