Blood Pudding?????? What the ell is blood pudding??? At least I’ve heard of blood sausage but not sure I’ve ever seen one.....not to mention brain sandwich??? Sounds like an episode of Anthony Bourdain to me..
I grew up in California...avocados, oranges, lots of fruit and veggies growing on our property + fish + salads...just can’t imagine this Indiana food.

Black pudding in the United Kingdom is generally made from pork blood and a relatively high proportion of oatmeal; in the past it was occasionally flavoured with pennyroyal, differing from continental European versions in its relatively limited range of ingredients and reliance on oatmeal and barley instead of onions to absorb the blood.[3] It can be eaten uncooked, but is often grilled, fried or boiled in its skin.
In the UK, black pudding is considered a delicacy in the Black Country, where it can trace its origins back hundreds of years. It is to a lesser extent associated with Lancashire and particularly with the town of Bury, where it is sometimes boiled and served with malt vinegar out of paper wrapping.[4] In the remainder of the country, and especially in the south, it is usually served sliced and fried or grilled as part of a traditional full breakfast
Blood pudding is just that - pudding with blood added. The presence of hemoglobin turns it jet black. I saw it in the breakfast buffet line right next to the blood sausage and I went looking for yogurt and cereal. Thank God there WAS yogurt and cereal!
