...I ate a lot less of it once I knew what was in it :)
My Dad used to cook it up occasionally on a Sunday when I was a kiddie - he'd cook it in a frypan with slices of apple, and top it off with a light sprinkling of raw sugar.
I don't know if this is the done thing for black pudding, or just my Dad's idea. Either way, it worked - quite tasty, says my 20-odd-years-ago memory of it.
