Black pudding is pig's blood cooked in an intestine and it is bound together by cereal, suet and pig fat. In effect, it is a blood sausage, which can be found in vrious guises all over the wolrd.
The history of the black pudding is extremely difficult to trace, as it is a traditional food in North England, Scotland and Ireland. I would not go so far to say it is Irish, especially if you happen to be in Bury, which regards itself as the black pudding capital!

Black pudding or less often blood pudding is a sausage made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. The term blood sausage (first attested in 1868) is a North American term that may be a translation from German "Blutwurst". Blood sausage has become a useful term for similar blood-based solid foods around the world.

Pig or cattle blood is most often used; sheep and goat blood are used to a lesser extent. Blood from poultry, horses and other animals are used more rarely. Typical fillers include meat, fat, suet, bread, sweet potato, barley and oatmeal.

fried clotted blood...yummy, I love black pudding.
But I don't think it's Irish, it's British. White pudding is Irish.

Black pudding is from Lancashire England, and it's blood fat and barley (no onion), boiled. White pudding is from Ireland and it's just as nice if not nicer.
I can only get it when i go to Belfast! (mores the pity)

its not far off a witches recipe, [eye of newt, tounge of toad, udder of cow, testickle of sheep} that sort of thing.
i love it to but think its best that the recipe is kept secret,
if you like black pudding, try haggis too, another delicious item along the same method, and i think that its white pudding thats traditionaly irish, black pudding is from the north of england traditionaly [Yorkshire upwards}

Pigs blood and oatmeal - traditionally stuffed into the pig's intestine but now usually put into a plastic skin instead.
