Yum. Pudding (white & black) is one of those things that I rarely think to buy, but decide that I should eat more of every time I have them! Never thought of adding it to a stew, chorizo-style, but it’s definitely something I’ll be investigating.
I don’t know Annascaul but I’ll keep an eye out. I usually buy mine in my local butchers in Wicklow because they make it themselves. There is a butchers on Wexford street opposite Whelan’s that have award winning pudding that they make, it’s very good and the crumbly kind that always tastes better.
Ashe’s in Annascaul make their own black and white pudding. Some other shops stock it – e.g. Super Valu Dingle. If you’re anywhere near, take a detour and GET SOME! While you’re at it, get some of their sausages too. We go there for holidays every year, and come home with a coolbox full of sausages, pudding and Kerry mountain lamb.
I love both black and white pudding, but its important to buy the best as the cheap ones are unbelievably awful. The clonakilty black as mentioned is good and for white I like Rudds.
Clonakilty black pudding is far superior to any other available. Its got the right crumbly texture, and a real depth of taste with the right amount of spices. most supermarkets stock it including Tesco, Dunnes and Superquinn. No contest!
I tasted some black pudding at a Slow Food event this week. It’s not normally my kind of thing but the Inch House Traditional Black Pudding was magnificent. It’s made from fresh local pigs blood (apparently imported, dried blood is often used in lower quality versions) to an old recipe.

Many supermarkets have Clonakilty black, it’s very good. Annascaul black is very highly regarded, but it’s difficult to get outside of Kerry.

In Dublin it can be found in Mortons.

Rudds Black Pudding is as tasty as I’ve had in a long time, very smooth if thats the right word to use, no bits as such but the taste is fantastic.
