I havenāt had black pudding in 5+ yrs.
If youāve got extra, think itāll hold in an envelope to the other side of the globe? Just a bit of a re-heat when it gets here?
The Irish/English do breakfast so much better than us 
Itās the first order of business every time I visit. Off the plane, fry-up for me.

Iām still trying to figure out the whole air fryer thing. 
My chicken thighs and sweet potato fries came out extra crispy.

@Dirk Nice write up of yours there!!
What happened to the 6 PM part?
Perhaps itās in the link, which I didnāt open up yet.
I have a personal favorite, which is my own version of Stamppot. I have made it and posted it here a lot.
Most everybody Iāve made it for loves it.
I use potato 
(or sometimes sweet potato 
) , baby kale, ( sometimes spinach), olive oil, salt and pepper.
Soooo good!
What I love most of all there is the watercress and the lambās lettuce, right now Iām forgetting the name in Dutch.
Also love as much of the cheese as possible! And ok, with good Dutch butter on the bread before the cheese goes on!
I also love the Stroopwaffles. I can get them at my own grocery store and try not to. Theyāre a problem cookie for me.
I love them too much!
Last time I was there, I enjoyed eating the almond cookies whatever their Dutch name is.
Thanks for your write up, also the link.
Here I have salad and salmon.
Bon appetit everyone!
Food ( in moderation) is life.

I know, right? Black pudding is the very best. Itās also great with potatoes and scallops and prawnsā¦ Over this way, I really like the āBuryā black pudding, though many farms do lovely versions. Itās a thing. You in da club, T.

I have enriched my knowledge. I was wondering what black pudding was so I googled it. As it turns out I used to make some thing almost exactly like it back in my 20s. We did not add oatmeal. Enjoy.!

I love the stuff, but many donāt like it. Itās so rich and earthy and savoury. I prefer it to sausages/bacon. But then again, I love liver also. Thereās also white pudding as well, and haggis is not that dissimilar.

I googled both of those. At the time I was making the āblack puddingā which is not what we called it, but it was the same except for the oatmeal, we also made liver sausage, which was very tasty and I think it was very similar to your white pudding. It had different flavors/spices in it, Iām not sure what they were.
We did put it in a casing. We used to wash the casings in a creek.
About that same time, I used to cook chicken livers a lot, and they were delicious. I sautƩed them in oil or butter with mushrooms. Served on toast. It was very decadent at the time. I was in my 20s. Bon appetit!

The first time I remember going to Ireland, I was 8 or 9. I went as an infant but obviously no memories of that.
I recall my Dad telling me on the plane over, āGranny will have breakfast waiting for us, with black and white puddingā.
I didnāt know what that was, but I figured he meant vanilla and chocolate dessert pudding. Dessert for breakfast! YEAH! Imagine my disappointment later that morning.
But like you, I prefer it to all the other parts of the fry-up. I had haggis for the first time in Edinburgh in 2018 and Iāve been chasing that high ever since. God damn thatās good stuff.

Hahaha. That must have been so confusing for a young one
Haggis is really good yep. Mmmm. Maybe make it your winter duty to cook some traditional Irish fayre? Get a nice cookbook with traditional stews and all that. So comforting. Though Iām not sure you ever really get it cold there?? Iām a bit clueless on Arizona weather.
