Black Pudding anyone?

So, DH was passing a Big Morrisons the other day. Knowing they sell GF black pudding I asked him to get me a stick.

As he was leaving home, I had a sudden thought that he might also see some plastic plant pots so asked him to get some of those too.

A while later he rang and asked how many I wanted. I asked for 4.

Can anyone use the 3 spare gf black pudding sticks I have in the fridge?

And, does anyone have any plastic plant pots I can have?

OMG did he leave his brains at work when he retired? I would freeze x3 of the black pudding because it only lasts a few days.

It is easier to shop for yourself without "help".

Charleygirl5 think it was an easy mistake to make.

Sorry, I think it was an easy mistake to make, just like me omitting “I” in the comment above and hitting send before I read what I’d written. (Me and my brain are both still working by the way!).

I would portion the black pudding sticks and freeze them.

(Are our DH’s related?)

GF sticks are only small and have a use by date of September so I have time to freeze them if we don't eat them quickly, but.....grin

Ah, two things at the same time kitty that’s the problem!

My DH must be your DH’s twin, Kitty! 🙄😆 Even when you think it’s impossible to misunderstand something he’ll somehow manage to!

That made me laugh, jaxjacky.

If my hubby was still around, he`d be snatching your hand off for the black puddings! He came from near Bury, where they originated, and loved his black pudding, I hated it!

Black pudding!!!
I'd rather eat my own toenails.
I'm a vegan married to a man whose family owned a chain of butchers shops! 😶

Is he related to dear phoenix's DH by any chance?

DH would take the black pudding off you, kittylester and cook it himself.

kittylester Wed 09-Apr-25 15:29:59

I wondered that, too, Allira.

Her post about it would definitely have been funnier than mine!

The cauliflower that turned out to be a cabbage 😁

I do have to write everything down everything very carefully if DH goes shopping!

Yes please and....served up on the middle of a bread roll. 😉

I wanted it for a breakfast salad. I love black pudding.

That sounds lovely, karmalady. I do a dish which involves pork medallions with black pudding, but now I'm wondering if I could incorporate apple slices into that too.

My late mother adored Black Puddings.
A gleam used to come into her eyes at the thought of pig's blood that she believed to be an ingredient of the pudding. Don't know if that's true or not.
I can't abide them.

I once gave DH a list for the local fruit and veg shop. It said 3 pears but DH and shopkeeper found it hard to read my writing so he brought home 3 lbs of fresh peas in their pods!!

Yes of course. It's famously made with pig's blood, mixed with various spices. France and Spain have their own versions too and they're all pig's blood based.

Sorry, kittylester, I live too far away to relieve you of your tasty burden.

😂 My dh once came home with pork mince when I’d clearly written beef. ‘I thought it was beef,’ he said, all injured.

Ditto the joint of pork when I’d written GAMMON.
I have had to emphasise that READING LABELS PROPERLY might be a good idea.

Most extreme though was when he came back from a big Asda saying they had no loo cleaner.
‘No, none at all! Yes, of course I looked properly!’

Nowadays (not being a good ‘looker’) he’ll ask if he can’t find something.

I wasn't having a go at DH - we had crossed wires.

I mean, did you have to say that?🤮
Black pudding, shudder.
Look, just plant them and see what grows Kittylester 😄
