Re: Roast hedgehog and nettle pud - a slap-up feast for ancient Britons by AngieLake on Wednesday, 19 September 2007

When I read that 'Meat Pudding' didn't exist any more I wondered if this was the same as a Devon delicacy (not sure that's *quite* the right word, ha!ha!) called 'Hog's Pudding', which Mum used to cook for us [I grew up in Braunton, north Devon] with 'Laver', the black seaweed picked from the rocks at nearby beaches. What a tasty meal. I still buy the occasional 'hog's pud', but never knew what it contained before. The following is a recipe for it from a 'sausagelinks' website:

"This is a West country haggis; it is usually based on groats (unpolished barley) and filled into ox casings, however it can be closer to a meat white pudding (see below). It can be made with meat or pluck (heart, liver and lungs). We like the version made with groats and fry ours so the skin splits, the filling crisps up and the groats start popping!"

Yum, yum!
We can still buy laver too, but I don't see it very often in south Devon as it tends to be picked on the Atlantic coast, so sometimes stock up while in north Devon.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
