Black pudding v square sliced

[The Egg Man]

Does anyone know why black pudding comes in a plasticky wrap whilst square sliced doesn't get one?

[sandabound]

Black pudding is made from pigs blood with oats n spices etc, so it's poured into the plastic to set. square sausage is minced meat, fat & spices.

Thank you.

aha,so why the need for the plastic on the flat round sausage?

[The Egg Man]

I've only had round sliced once. Vile stuff.

[banjo]

one agrees with one.

[sandabound]

Probably to hold it's shape, but why bother it's vile

Why should round sliced sausage be any more inherently vile than square sliced sausage? They're both made from the same stuff - often by the same company.

Nah, my Mother used to say the round stuff was made from what fell on the butcher's floor ........................... + the sawdust

My mum used to say that piccalilli came from the same source.
