And that'll be why I wasn't referring solely to black pudding (though there always seemed to be plenty of fat in it when I used to eat it).
Edit: According to Wiki, black pudding is around 35% fat. I'd say more than a third was quite a significant proportion.

| Quote Mintball="Mintball"Nice.
Our local French deli sells a beautifully soft chorizo – cooks wonderfully. Makes a lovely frittata with some finely-chopped shallot...'"
Surely, my dear, you mean tortilla rather than frittata?
You know what with chorizo being Spanish and that.

| Is there any food-related issue worse than other people's barbeques?
I propose a barbeque licence, whereby men (because it's usually men who suddenly become expert chefs when the sun comes out) have to undergo training in basic cookery and smoke control before they qualify.
Crap burgers, burned or raw meat, paper plates, nowhere to sit or put your drink while you try to gnaw a chewy Asda steak in a wretched white bun.
I am sure a satisfactory barbeque is theoretically possible but the only one I have ever attended and truly enjoyed was on a beach in Martinique where there were tables and cutlery to enjoy the delicious mountain crayfish.
Oh, and one in Madeira, not on a beach but similarly supplied with seating, tables and cutlery to eat (in this instance) char-grilled fillets of Espada (a type of white fish).
British barbeques are, not always but usually, rubbish.

Well the belly-pork I've just dined on with some buttered Jersey spuds and chilli salad was magnifique.

That sounds delicious.

Only the pair of us sat on some pleasant garden furniture with some real plates and Sheffield steel forks and knives.
The wine was cr@p but we still managed to slurp 5 bottles of dry white down between us.

Five? Between two of you? I'd be lying in the garden in a puddle of my own p'ss on two and a half bottles of wine.

Ah, now that sounds more like alfresco dining than the sort of barbeque I'm talking about.

'" I should have known my comments would elicit the better examples, I mean, the cremators of nasty firelighter-flavoured cheapo burgers weren't ever going to step forward.
My rant was provoked by the greasy smoke cloaking my neighbourhood, against which I have had to close the windows to avoid the the sitting room and bedroom smelling like a kebab shop on a busy Saturday night.
