@@stevencampbell7394 black pudding = blood pudding = blood sausage; essentially it's sausage but made with pork blood & oats in place of minced meat, the oats absorb the blood to give it a minced meat consistency; it's delicious BTW.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 My grandparents kept pigs and made sausage from it, including blood sausage which we sliced onto bread like ham sausage. I don´t recall what it tastes like because it´s been ages since I´ve eaten it or any form of sausage, but I do remember that it was delicious. A lot more intense than store bought sausage of any kind and more intense than other homemade ones. It´s no more or less disgusting than the general process of making sausage.
Why do you have to name everything after things that they are not? Vegan cheese is not cheese in any way, vegan bacon is not bacon in any way. They're not even CLOSE to the real thing and don't say that they aren't trying to be because they clearly are. If you don't like animal products, then don't try to imitate them.
@@looksirdroids9134 Nut and seed butters don't have butter in them, and in British English the word 'pudding' can mean so many things from a Yorkshire pudding to a steamed suet dessert to a savoury black pudding. Whilst I understand why you take issue with the words used to describe non-meat products, the answer simply seems to be that language changes as we try to use the words we have best to describe whatever happening and what we're trying to do.

Some people seem to almost be offended by vegan and vegetarian foods being explored. Why does it bother anyone that someone else is eating animal free products?
For me it's more the resent converts, they come off as pushy, a guy I know that's a vegan for a long time sed he felt the same he's been doing it for 40-50 years and only machine it wen he came over to eat. More recently it's part of there Introduction , "hi I'm Dave a strict vegan ect. " but it's like it's sed to be in some way Superior and make me feel bad. That not to say there are people that are jerks out there. I'm a each their own thang , just don't trying and shove it down my throat.
The thing about cooking without meat is that, even if you eat meat, and enjoy meat, and have no moral issues with eating meat, its a fun challenge, ans requires you to get out of the sometimes repetative cycle of cooking meat meals to adapt and make something new. Whether it be attempting to replicate a meat based dish, or just experimenting and mixjng things up, its fun, usually quite healthy, and might even lead you to a new favourite meal. You don't need to be vegan or vegetarian to have fun with meals that are.
@@looksirdroids9134 my comment was explicitly about using non-meat ingredients in new ways and experimenting.

If the herb has a strong aromatic scent, and you manually rip it up, do you end up with thyme on your hands? I couldn't resist. Don't worry, I'm getting help.
There was, REALLY, a fashion about 20 years ago around here, for "guerilla gardening". As part of that I really wanted someone to scatter herb seeds onto the railway tracks on the way into work. Then I could ask (s)him if they were helping the trains run on thyme.
Honestly i would never want to eat normal black pudding (not vegan, just never grew up with it and i dont find the idea of eating fried blood appealing) but i love mushrooms and would totally try this mushroom black pudding.
I'd give this version a try. I might, might, try a bite of real black pudding. However. it doesn't appeal to me. That being said, I might like it. Never know until you try it.
I eat it all the time, but honestly, if I hadn't grown up eating it (not knowing what it was) I probably never would've even tasted it, or wanted to. The idea of it is just so nasty, literally fried pig blood, but it just tastes so good that it's worth it to me. I feel crazy.

I really enjoy the variety of content, Mr. Shrimp. You're like someone's friendly next door neighbour who tells them how to forage and also recounts stories of messing with scammers. Although maybe that's TOO specific...
During a trip to Scotland a few years back, I was able to try vegetarian haggis. I've never tried real haggis (being born and raised in Australia, and becoming vegetarian as an early teen- well before I first ever travelled internationally), and I don't expect it actually tasted that much like the real thing, but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless, and it was nice there was an alternative to enable me to something akin to the experience.
Thanks for this. My wife is vegetarian out of necessity and I am by convenience. Always love experimenting with new recipes to push the boundaries. Weve been trying to replicate the classic English Breakfast and she loves it so far- im going to surprise her with this next week! Fantastic work. 'Why not?' Absolutely.
"the world isn't drenched in Urine" I sometimes think this is the problem with Croydon! Seriously though, love the videos and the common sense to cooking via experimenting
Clearly Atomic Shrimp has not been in the NCP car park in Bristol that my husband and I parked in a couple of months back. The urine smell stayed with me for hours.
Ngl this channel is a slice of life and pretty much a lil bit of everything... so while eating I can watch some Cooking / Tasting stuff or While just going on thru life I can watch some foraging or scambaiting. This channel really is unique!
Yay! SO glad you tried again! I think I would still have added some beetroot and nettles with the wild mushrooms, just for the slightly sweet flavours ... delicious! I grew up eating them! Dad let a nettle patch grow in the garden year round and we ate them regularly instead of dark 'greens'. Your nettle soup reminded me of those times! Love seeing your experiments - whether successful or not! (for the record - I don't like black pudding, but would happily eat either of your concoctions!!)
In Romania people use nettles like spinach, only in the spring when young. For people that can't forest, they sell them at the farmers market too! I love them
Looks delicious and far less nasty of a process than making the real stuff lol, I'm not a vegan but I honestly really enjoy that it's grown so much just because it increases the amount of basically new food recipes I can try B)
ive had a complete mess of a day and your channel is just the calming energy i need right now thank you! (also its rad youre so open to plant based food)
As a vegan i just want to say thank you for this, I'm curious to try to make this in the future, I love mushrooms they are a good source of vitamin D ☀️
Some thoughts and ideas I thought I'd share! You can buy pickled walnuts from Sainsbury's if you can't/haven't made your own. Perhaps a burger press would work well for shaping them? Cookie-cutting and then slicing seems to make them break up a bit. And the old recipe Meatless Farm sausages were so much better. The new recipe tastes the same as the Quorn ones which are nowhere near as good. What an interesting experiment, thanks!
I must say that the final texture of your 'black pudding' is identical to the real McCoy. I'm a huge fan of white and black pud, so there is no compromising for me. However, I love aged mushrooms fried up with my brekkie. I'd have no issue with allowing these imposters to sit beside my blood puds on a plate. Well done, fellah!
@@rachelembletonpalmer5891 Traditionally, it's made from oatmeal and suet, with a strong mix of onion, herbs and spice. Sometimes a fatty cut of pork (shoulder) is a substitute for beef suet. It is almost identical to some varieties of black pudding, but without the pig blood. I prefer the Scottish black pudding because of the addition of oats, hence, it's closeness to white pudding.
Cool. Big fan of mushrooms. Glad this turned out alright for you! Edit; Oh, before I had a set of circle cutters, I had two can spanners, one left the round seam on, the other left a sharp edge. I'd keep various sized top and tailed cans to put me on, worked a treat. Made for great egg poachers, biscuit cutters etc. Due to the nature of them, I would swap them out regularly.
I'm a new viewer, only been watching for a few weeks since randomly being recommended a video, but I've really fallen in love with your channel. Your videos just feel comfortable.
Absolutely. Particularly once Atomic has (spoiler!) left his day job, he just sounds like someone enjoying life and happy to share that with us. Even in his response to comments.
The spice blend and use of oats and barley reminds me a lot of my veggie haggis recipe - I use a bit of dried TVP rather than mushrooms though. I've heard molasses (used sparingly) can add a bit of the iron-ey flavour that one expects from meat products too - might be worth investigating!
your cooking videos remind me of my elderly neighbor who would have me over every two weeks to have lunch or early dinner and theyd talk to me about cool stuff like mushroom maturation
The English black pudding is so different from the one those of us with Caribbean roots eat. No oats in ours. We put rice, and the seasoning is minimal. It's backbone really is pork blood. This looks interesting. I'd give it a go.
Why would anyone try to do anything new in the kitchen ? Why test ? Why create ? Why writing pointless comments on RUclips ? ... Guess some mysteries are better left unsolved ! (Thank you for your work :) )
I'd clicked away to another tab for a second and wasn't really paying attention to the video, then suddenly I hear "the entire outside world is drenched in urine". Yeah, clicked back pretty quickly after that.
As a long-term vegan who used (before) to love black pudding, I watched this with interest - wonder if a) adding chunks of chilled or frozen veg fat b) some sort of iron supplement might be an idea - will have to try those out & see!
Normally I don't watch your food videos, but this caught my attention. I've never tried black pudding since I'm vegan, so I was curious about what you had to say about this when it came to flavor and texture.
As Ian Malcolm might say "You were so preoccupied with whether you could, you didn't stop to think if you should." :) You do a lot of interesting things so that the rest of us don't have to. Love it.
Great video! I only eat plants and having a sausagy type dish is always a treat! I don't forage mushrooms, but I have a great farmers' market nearby with lovely mushrooms sometimes. I also often buy marked-down produce, so I'm really happy to have a great use for old mushrooms!
Just to make people aware, the normal "Marigold Swiss vegetable bouillon powder" is not vegan because it contains milk powder. Be sure to buy the vegan version, if you are after a 100% vegan recipe :)
I've been watching your channel quite a bit over the last week or so. Just wanted to say thank you for producing such interesting and varied content. I suffer quite badly with anxiety and your content is very calming to watch.
They are full of horrible litlle fibres along with the seeds (people used to make them into 'itching powder' as a joke), so yes, they are not to be eaten whole. I think they are probably way too sour even to nibble the ripe flesh off the outside, so they can either be prepared by removing the seeds (very laborious) or cooking and straining for their juice
@@AtomicShrimp in germany there is a breakfast spread called "hiffen mark" which is essentially a dialect term for "hagebutten mark" which in turn is something like a sweet rosehip marmelade
Atomic Shrimp are the dried ones edible? I bought some rose hips to make tea with, they were not whole but in pieces. I didn’t know about the hooks and nibbled on some, as I enjoy tart things. I didn’t have any noticeable adverse effects, but neither did I nibble very many...
I’d try this. Love mushrooms and I loved having black pudding when I visited Ireland. I have to say, I really enjoy your newer edits whenever you’re eating the food you’ve cooked. They always make me giggle.
one thing that is used to create the illusion of meat in the industry is häm, basically a compound similar to red bloodcells. also I've seen a german website that used liquid iron supplement as an diy replacement for häm.
@@leuchtfeuer8999 Yeah. I literally had no time to complete even my comment :D The moment I noticed it and I had a stable connection again, you already corrected me
The black pudding looks great and bet it tastes equally impressive. I think I would actually prefer this over real black pudding. I also appreciate that the ingredients used would be relatively easy to source.
I have made the same thing but with a different flavor profile. I go straight to the pan now n bake. I'm ok with the square shape. I would never eat real black pudding but I definitely would eat the vegan version. It looks delicious. I'm gonna make it.
Kudos to you for making these! I have family in the UK/Scotland and loved my black pudding each morning. Fast forward 10 years and now i'm vegan and I love to cook so i'll be attempting this recipe soon. I can't wait!!! Thanks again
I actually found these in the same field as the Agaricus mushrooms - both species grow in rings in grass - and the thing you might see from a distance, before you find the mushrooms is the ring of slightly greener/darker grass; the mushrooms actually feed the grass causing it to grow lush and green
If the aim is to create "vegan black pudding", it's not a bad thing if it doesn't taste exactly like black pudding, is it? It is a different thing, after all, and I think that's totally fine. I sometimes cook vegetarian, but I don't try to make it taste exactly like the carnivorous option. I try to make it better instead. Or at least different.
I think I get what your trying to say but it doesn't track logically, if the goal is recreate a Ford mustang from stuff scavenged from peoples garbage cans and you only give it two wheels and handlebars , you failed.
@@maxrun29 the goal isn't (or doesn't have to be) to create an exact replica. Your intonation makes it seem like a vegetarian option to you, is disgusting and looks horrible. This tells me you haven't even given it a fair chance, let alone try it, which is a sad thought.
1. intonation the rise and fall of the voice in speaking. how does that apply to text? 2. i quite enjoy some vegan dishes, just not prefer. 3. i was just pointing out that if you have one hole and not meat it on choose not to , its a fail. and yes that's not necessarily bad.
Vegans always try to re-create things, usually the results don't taste like the original, then the vegans claim that the re-creation was intentionally bad because the original taste wasn't important. If it is only the looks then this dish is wonderful. Since it looks the same before and after digestion it could be recycled a couple of times.
I like that you made this video. I have always been interested in Black Pudding but I'm quite squeamish when it comes to organs and blood in food and this experiment will be able to help me try it but not the squeamishness that has prevented me in the past.
I love this. I'm neither vegan or vegetarian, I just love trying different things. I also love mushrooms. So this is something I will try. I also manage to keep some HP sauce on hand even though I am in the U.S.
As the saying goes: "Why does anybody do anything?" the answer is always "Why not?" EDIT: I think that your finished product would cut really well with a wire cutter, like one would use for cheese.
Thank you so much for the inspirational videos and the recipes vegetarians can use in the kitchen! I am a vegetarian and oftentimes I feel stuck cooking same things over and over again.

"the world isn't drenched in Urine" I sometimes think this is the problem with Croydon! Seriously though, love the videos and the common sense to cooking via experimenting
Clearly Atomic Shrimp has not been in the NCP car park in Bristol that my husband and I parked in a couple of months back.
The urine smell stayed with me for hours.
Is the problem with Croydon that is or it isn't?
Yeah, growing up and even today, I eat wild berries right off the plant. I'm still alive and well lol
My day was really shitty until you uploaded. Thank you! :)
🥺
Ngl this channel is a slice of life and pretty much a lil bit of everything... so while eating I can watch some Cooking / Tasting stuff or While just going on thru life I can watch some foraging or scambaiting. This channel really is unique!
Yay! SO glad you tried again! I think I would still have added some beetroot and nettles with the wild mushrooms, just for the slightly sweet flavours ... delicious! I grew up eating them! Dad let a nettle patch grow in the garden year round and we ate them regularly instead of dark 'greens'. Your nettle soup reminded me of those times! Love seeing your experiments - whether successful or not! (for the record - I don't like black pudding, but would happily eat either of your concoctions!!)
In Romania people use nettles like spinach, only in the spring when young. For people that can't forest, they sell them at the farmers market too! I love them
Thank you for the Vegan ideas ! Rudds in Ireland make a nice Vegan Black Pudding
Looks delicious and far less nasty of a process than making the real stuff lol, I'm not a vegan but I honestly really enjoy that it's grown so much just because it increases the amount of basically new food recipes I can try B)
Fantastic stuff Shrimp, love your forays into the vegan world with these videos!
Never ceases to impress me how open to different ideas you are. Coming from a plant based family here, I love your videos :-)
ive had a complete mess of a day and your channel is just the calming energy i need right now thank you! (also its rad youre so open to plant based food)
As a vegan i just want to say thank you for this, I'm curious to try to make this in the future, I love mushrooms they are a good source of vitamin D ☀️
Some thoughts and ideas I thought I'd share!
You can buy pickled walnuts from Sainsbury's if you can't/haven't made your own.
Perhaps a burger press would work well for shaping them? Cookie-cutting and then slicing seems to make them break up a bit.
And the old recipe Meatless Farm sausages were so much better. The new recipe tastes the same as the Quorn ones which are nowhere near as good.
What an interesting experiment, thanks!
My personal favorite vegan sausage is Field roast.
Good tip on using a burger press.
@@simeonellinger2064 ditto the Field Roast brand, they're excellent
I must say that the final texture of your 'black pudding' is identical to the real McCoy. I'm a huge fan of white and black pud, so there is no compromising for me. However, I love aged mushrooms fried up with my brekkie. I'd have no issue with allowing these imposters to sit beside my blood puds on a plate. Well done, fellah!
What is in white pudding my friend ?
@@rachelembletonpalmer5891 Traditionally, it's made from oatmeal and suet, with a strong mix of onion, herbs and spice. Sometimes a fatty cut of pork (shoulder) is a substitute for beef suet. It is almost identical to some varieties of black pudding, but without the pig blood. I prefer the Scottish black pudding because of the addition of oats, hence, it's closeness to white pudding.
Cool. Big fan of mushrooms. Glad this turned out alright for you! Edit; Oh, before I had a set of circle cutters, I had two can spanners, one left the round seam on, the other left a sharp edge. I'd keep various sized top and tailed cans to put me on, worked a treat. Made for great egg poachers, biscuit cutters etc. Due to the nature of them, I would swap them out regularly.
Amazing hack!
I tried the Aldi vegan breakfast pack in January, it had 'black pudding', couldn't tell the difference, it was spot on. It was made by Simon Howie.
The year 2050. His arm is the size of a cannon and he's up to his eyeballs in pepper... yet still he grinds on.
I'm a new viewer, only been watching for a few weeks since randomly being recommended a video, but I've really fallen in love with your channel. Your videos just feel comfortable.
Absolutely. Particularly once Atomic has (spoiler!) left his day job, he just sounds like someone enjoying life and happy to share that with us. Even in his response to comments.
O're'gano (as you pronounce it) is the ancient Italian art of pizza-folding.
The spice blend and use of oats and barley reminds me a lot of my veggie haggis recipe - I use a bit of dried TVP rather than mushrooms though. I've heard molasses (used sparingly) can add a bit of the iron-ey flavour that one expects from meat products too - might be worth investigating!
Love the clip of the pig eating whilst Mr Shrimp masticates and contemplates his verdict.
Why don’t you grow your own mushrooms? I’d love to see that video from you. You mentioned spores, grown some! And take us on the journey! 🍄 👍🏻
I bet he enjoys foraging instead: walking Eva, enjoying nature, exploring, finding yummy edibles
I love that you’re making something vegan.
If you ever want to do this again, the meat free shroomdog sausages from Sainsbury's are the best I've tried. They fit the theme too!
Totally agree; shroomdogs are in a different league to all other veggie sausages.
Glad to know one of my biggest culinary inspirations also doesn't fully 7nderstand parchment paper. That stuff is just magic
To be fair your first attempt looked pretty good, daresay this will too now you've had a practice run.
your cooking videos remind me of my elderly neighbor who would have me over every two weeks to have lunch or early dinner and theyd talk to me about cool stuff like mushroom maturation
The English black pudding is so different from the one those of us with Caribbean roots eat. No oats in ours. We put rice, and the seasoning is minimal. It's backbone really is pork blood. This looks interesting. I'd give it a go.
Why would anyone try to do anything new in the kitchen ?
Why test ?
Why create ?
Why writing pointless comments on RUclips ?
...
Guess some mysteries are better left unsolved !
(Thank you for your work :) )
Some of the most innovative cooking I've seen. Forget MasterChef.
I'd clicked away to another tab for a second and wasn't really paying attention to the video, then suddenly I hear "the entire outside world is drenched in urine". Yeah, clicked back pretty quickly after that.
Really enjoying your recent vids.
I've been looking forward to this
- Count Dooku
Perfect timing. I just sat down with my breakfast and this video popped up. I love these cooking and food videos.
I really enjoyed the "Chicken of the Woods" video too :)
In my language that mushroom is called Sulphuric mushroom :P
Black mushroom pudding sounds delicious 😋
As a long-term vegan who used (before) to love black pudding, I watched this with interest - wonder if a) adding chunks of chilled or frozen veg fat b) some sort of iron supplement might be an idea - will have to try those out & see!
Everybody loves food....just keep them coming.
Normally I don't watch your food videos, but this caught my attention. I've never tried black pudding since I'm vegan, so I was curious about what you had to say about this when it came to flavor and texture.
I don't see how people could get mad, I absolutely love seeing your food experiments.
As Ian Malcolm might say "You were so preoccupied with whether you could, you didn't stop to think if you should." :) You do a lot of interesting things so that the rest of us don't have to. Love it.
You always amaze me with your creativity in cooking. A joy to watch, but probably not attempt this. Thank you for these great videos.
I wonder if adding food grade iron powder to it would help simulate the flavour?
Keep up the great content 👍
@@KitchenWitchery they do it to cornflakes and other foods that's what I basing it off.
Great video! I only eat plants and having a sausagy type dish is always a treat! I don't forage mushrooms, but I have a great farmers' market nearby with lovely mushrooms sometimes. I also often buy marked-down produce, so I'm really happy to have a great use for old mushrooms!
Just to make people aware, the normal "Marigold Swiss vegetable bouillon powder" is not vegan because it contains milk powder.
Be sure to buy the vegan version, if you are after a 100% vegan recipe :)
That's the vegan version I used here. (Curiously the difference is not very prominent on the labelling)
I've been watching your channel quite a bit over the last week or so. Just wanted to say thank you for producing such interesting and varied content. I suffer quite badly with anxiety and your content is very calming to watch.
Same!
It's a very peaceful channel
The red berries at the start, what are they? I see them about all the time but assumed they were not edible. What can you do with them?
Rosehips - they will appear in a different upload this weekend...
@@AtomicShrimp are rosehips directly edible? I thought they had spikes or hooks inside that hurt to eat unless you cook them or make a tea.
They are full of horrible litlle fibres along with the seeds (people used to make them into 'itching powder' as a joke), so yes, they are not to be eaten whole.
I think they are probably way too sour even to nibble the ripe flesh off the outside, so they can either be prepared by removing the seeds (very laborious) or cooking and straining for their juice
@@AtomicShrimp in germany there is a breakfast spread called "hiffen mark" which is essentially a dialect term for "hagebutten mark" which in turn is something like a sweet rosehip marmelade
Atomic Shrimp are the dried ones edible? I bought some rose hips to make tea with, they were not whole but in pieces. I didn’t know about the hooks and nibbled on some, as I enjoy tart things. I didn’t have any noticeable adverse effects, but neither did I nibble very many...
I’d try this. Love mushrooms and I loved having black pudding when I visited Ireland.
I have to say, I really enjoy your newer edits whenever you’re eating the food you’ve cooked. They always make me giggle.
I'm vegetarian and this looks pretty good. I might try this some day.
This just makes me want some real black pudding
As much as i really like eating meat, i love seeing stuff like this. I absolutely want to try this.
one thing that is used to create the illusion of meat in the industry is häm, basically a compound similar to red bloodcells. also I've seen a german website that used liquid iron supplement as an diy replacement for häm.
Häm = Heme in English :) and yes that's basically the secret to the actual taste of meat
@@leuchtfeuer8999 Yeah. I literally had no time to complete even my comment :D The moment I noticed it and I had a stable connection again, you already corrected me
@@S41t4r4 super swift smartass :) sorry
I have already said it, But I would love to see your attempt on a budget Sunday lunch
I don’t know if other people would like to see that?
I'd be happy with roast potatoes, instant stuffing & gravy, they're the best parts anyway!!
1tychoma I guess, Meats are quit expensive for a very low budget anyway
The black pudding looks great and bet it tastes equally impressive. I think I would actually prefer this over real black pudding. I also appreciate that the ingredients used would be relatively easy to source.
If you can refine and perfect that recipie, there's good money to be made from your innovation I reckon.
I have made the same thing but with a different flavor profile. I go straight to the pan now n bake. I'm ok with the square shape. I would never eat real black pudding but I definitely would eat the vegan version. It looks delicious. I'm gonna make it.
Would you ever do a foraging tip/tutorial kind of thing? I'd love to get into foraging but I'm not super confident in what to be aware of
Kudos to you for making these! I have family in the UK/Scotland and loved my black pudding each morning. Fast forward 10 years and now i'm vegan and I love to cook so i'll be attempting this recipe soon. I can't wait!!! Thanks again
What are the little brown mushrooms in the corner of your basket?
Marasmius oreades - fairy ring mushrooms
@@AtomicShrimp Oh nice, thanks! I'm yet to find them in the wild
I actually found these in the same field as the Agaricus mushrooms - both species grow in rings in grass - and the thing you might see from a distance, before you find the mushrooms is the ring of slightly greener/darker grass; the mushrooms actually feed the grass causing it to grow lush and green
Good on you for attempting something new! That's how discoveries are made.
If the aim is to create "vegan black pudding", it's not a bad thing if it doesn't taste exactly like black pudding, is it? It is a different thing, after all, and I think that's totally fine.
I sometimes cook vegetarian, but I don't try to make it taste exactly like the carnivorous option. I try to make it better instead. Or at least different.
I think I get what your trying to say but it doesn't track logically, if the goal is recreate a Ford mustang from stuff scavenged from peoples garbage cans and you only give it two wheels and handlebars , you failed.
You nailed it.
@@maxrun29 the goal isn't (or doesn't have to be) to create an exact replica.
Your intonation makes it seem like a vegetarian option to you, is disgusting and looks horrible. This tells me you haven't even given it a fair chance, let alone try it, which is a sad thought.
1. intonation the rise and fall of the voice in speaking. how does that apply to text? 2. i quite enjoy some vegan dishes, just not prefer. 3. i was just pointing out that if you have one hole and not meat it on choose not to , its a fail. and yes that's not necessarily bad.
Vegans always try to re-create things, usually the results don't taste like the original, then the vegans claim that the re-creation was intentionally bad because the original taste wasn't important.
If it is only the looks then this dish is wonderful. Since it looks the same before and after digestion it could be recycled a couple of times.
I like that you made this video. I have always been interested in Black Pudding but I'm quite squeamish when it comes to organs and blood in food and this experiment will be able to help me try it but not the squeamishness that has prevented me in the past.
Did you say "Second *Wurst* same as the first?"
This is so inventive. Love ❤ u Mr Mike.
It occurs to me that tamarind might work well as a flavour enhancer in that.
I love this. I'm neither vegan or vegetarian, I just love trying different things. I also love mushrooms. So this is something I will try. I also manage to keep some HP sauce on hand even though I am in the U.S.
"Why?"
Because every good recipe started as an experiment or an accident.
That’s a really tasty looking vegan dish right there, I’m definitely going to try it out! Thanks!💚
As the saying goes: "Why does anybody do anything?" the answer is always "Why not?"
EDIT: I think that your finished product would cut really well with a wire cutter, like one would use for cheese.
Yeah, it's really weird that there are people curious enough to ask 'why?', but not curious enough to ask 'why not?'
It does make for really short history courses though.
These videos cheer me up even though I'm very sad
i burn toast, but it's fun watching someone who can cook
Turn the dial left
You're welcome
Thank you so much for the inspirational videos and the recipes vegetarians can use in the kitchen! I am a vegetarian and oftentimes I feel stuck cooking same things over and over again.
