Black pudding, also called blood pudding, is a type of blood sausage originating in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is made from pork or occasionally beef blood, with pork fat or beef suet, and a cereal, usually oatmeal, oat groats, or barley groats. The high proportion of cereal, along with the use of certain herbs, such as pennyroyal, distinguishes black pudding from other blood sausages.
