The more you put a white t-shirt in the wash the less white it becomes. So the grubbier your white t-shirt looks, the cleaner it is

Wash at 40 degrees lad

Yep that 30 degree shit isn't worth a shit in a good few ways

That Clonakilty black pudding advert that comes up on YouTube lately (maybe it's on telly too but I don't have the channels to find out) - speaks straight to my soul but years too late.  "Why not put black pudding in everything and see what happens?" Yeah I'm way ahead of you there.

Although they did have it in a stir fry which sounds decent and I haven't tried, I might give it a go, usually just put a fried egg on top and no meat in the actual mix, their suggestion seems to be crumb it out throughout a sort of noodle dish.  I imagine you could do a decent fried rice with it in the mix there.  Often used it in an omelette with chillies and scallions (and soy sauce) so not too far of a stretch there if the rice was left spare.

Can't bayt black pudding, lovely in a roll or wrap. Break it up and mix it in with scrambled egg. Mighty.

YEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!! I make a black pudding pasta. Black pudding, bacon, bell peppers, courgette and away you go. Savage. I'm yet to have something with bp that I haven't liked.

Love black pudding! Was pleasantly surprised when I went to Edinburgh a few years ago to find out haggis is pretty much the same thing, and they put it on everything

There isn't anything that can't be improved on by the addition of black pudding.
Yer wan in the ad is fierce pleasing on the eye too, made even more appealing by the fact that she has black pudding!

Also - white pudding can get ta fuck so it can.

White pudding is lovely you madman, just not in the same league as its swarthy cousin.

And yes, yer wan is most pleasant. A singer/sonwriter by the name of Polly Barrett, apparently.

Bye bye-bye-bye-bye....

there's nothing that can't be done with a good black pudding. I actually went on the clonakilty tour and all in the hope they would fill me up with many black puddings but instead I got to dress up like a 19th century butcher and that was that pretty much

Black Pudding is the business with White a close second, I can't understand anyone not liking it, and many don't, but it's their loss...

Yeah, black pudding in cooking is savage. Gotta have a bit of white pudding for the aul full Irish, and I love it as part of that, but funnily enough it's never occurred to me to try adding it to any other dishes.

Can't for the life of me remember the name of it, but there was/is a fancy pizza place on George's Street and that's where, at least 20 years ago, I first had the blinkers lifted off me by a black pudding and rocket pizza.

My youth hangover cure was always 2 birds eye waffles in bread with ketchup/mayo mix, throw 2 black pudding in one sambo, 2 white in the other, rasher in there too and have 3 Hafner sausages on the plate ready to chomp on while eating the sambos. Amazing I never burnt down the gaff grilling at 3am

There was a spot here in Limerick (Cobblestones it was called) that did a full Irish pizza - sausages, both puddings, rashers, and a fried egg on top, also with a bit of rocket.  Merciless feed.  Closed now though.  Have made a chorizo and black pudding pizza a few times at home, with the BP crumbled across it and some feta too, unreal combination but I could never find a veg to suit it.  Red onions and peppers grand yeah they work, but didn't add much bar loading it down.

I still go for a waffle sandwich after a night out.  Great soak for the hangover.  The air fryer nowadays makes me much less likely to burn the house down at least.

I'll have to grab a shtick of the black stuff this weekend after reading all this. I wonder would it work on the bbq
