Black Pudding

During your time in Ireland you are bound to see black pudding on the menu, and no it isn’t a rumor, it is made from blood. Pig or cattle blood precisely is used to make this type of sausage, and it is a popular component of an Irish breakfast. Some people consider white pudding to be less scary, while others politely ask the waiter to not include any type of pudding in their Irish breakfast. This is a typical request, so don’t be afraid to hold the black pudding. Alternatively, live like a local, and give it at least one taste.
