Black pudding or
blood pudding is an English term for
sausage made by
cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. It is also called
blood sausage (first attested in 1868, perhaps influenced by German
Blutwurst). Although "blood sausage" is often labeled as a
North American term, it is also found in English (e.g., in the story "The Name-Day" by
Saki). "Blood sausage" is also used as a term for similar blood-based solid foods around the world.
Pig or
cattle blood is most often used;
sheep and
goat blood are used to a lesser extent. Blood from
poultry,
horses and other animals are used more rarely. Typical fillers include
meat,
fat,
suet,
bread,
sweet potato,
barley and
oatmeal.
