Ok, so how's it going? Mixed.
Several lapses on the wine front...........well how else is one to survive?
The carbs? Going well. Apart from Fri and Sat, which was ok, diet food hasn't been too bad.
Excercise? Mostly good, something most days. Not today. Doh!
Weight? Currently hovering just around the 8st 3lbs mark. So over half way to target. Two diet days left ...and I could just starve on Sat.
Flobby bits? More acceptable, still a way to go.

I read that eating a Bacon Sausage and Black Pudding sandwich OOOOOHHHHHHHH! crispy bacon and nice black pudding!!! ( I could omit the bread part) Don't you think black pudding varies a lot? From amazing to a bit yucky? Too many fatty bits, a bit yucky.

Fat is flavor. I know some people just can't handle the texture... but lardo is something to be experienced! I'm with you on the black pudding though.

Black pudding is sick and should be illegal (sick in the bad way, not the good way kids use it these days. )
Meat fat is Gods gift to us.
There is nothing nicer on this earth than a big line of chewy pork chop fat.
Lush.

You guys have had the wrong black pudding!
RyRy . If you cook the bacon/ Lardon properly, the fat runs out but leaves the flavour. The tase is delish, and if it's crisped just right the texture is perfect too.

You guys and girls are gross, texture really gets me with food. Black pudding is sick and should be illegal (sick in the bad way, not the good way kids use it these days. ) Meat fat is Gods gift to us. There is nothing nicer on this earth than a big line of chewy pork chop fat. Lush. Thankfully someone hates black pudding too. As for the chewy fat... Please tell me you're joking, that made me feel physically sick imagining someone chewing on fat You guys have had the wrong black pudding! RyRy . If you cook the bacon/ Lardon properly, the fat runs out but leaves the flavour. The tase is delish, and if it's crisped just right the texture is perfect too. Texture texture texture, plus it tastes awful If the fat runs off or is very crispy on bacon it's lovely but chewy ugh, that would make me throw up chewing it.

But that's the whole thing RyRy. Texture can be good or bad. Crispy bacon, good. Chewy steak , bad. If it's chewy it generally means it's been cooked incorrectly. Fatty meat needs longer slower cooking so the fat breaks down/ melts.
I don't eat steaks often, but a really good steak , still red in the middle, will melt in your mouth. On the other hand there is that awful steak.......... and the minute you put a piece in your mouth you know you're in trouble. It's chewy beyond measure and gross. So what do you do? You either get it out of your mouth in as delicate a fashion as you can, or you chew for ever till you feel sick, or you try to swallow it. If you choose the latter option there is the chance that half will swallow But half stays in your mouth, so it's stuck half way, disaster!!! Frantic swallowing, or grabbing for water , or you forget étiquette and gag it out, not good in polite company. So in that case, texture is bad. But that's the fault of the cook or the restaurant.

And I can't believe LRW doesn't like it ! I thought racechick was going to say yuck and LRW would love it ? Out of interest what don't you like the taste or the ingredients ? Is this the wrong time to mention I also love Haggis

For me it's the taste with black pudding.
Never tries haggis, but would be more than happy to.
I've never been one to be turned off by where food comes from or what it's made out of - which is the most common rains for Haggis and Black Pudding.
I'm now hungry. I want bacon.
