@@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.

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.

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. A challenge for yourself to improve your cooking skills and use non-meat elements as core elements of a dish rather than tertiary elements.

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.
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?

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.
Its what you do when making sausages or burgers without a precise recipe - because you wouldn't normally be able to taste a raw sausage meat. Ironically, there's nothing in this 'raw' mix that wold actually be unsafe to taste
Bethena Yeah I can't remember the number of experimental recipes I've tried (usually making my own veggie burgers) that have been kind of ruined by the wrong mix of ingredients, that at the end I've thought "oh should've done a little batch test part way through". But then the next time I'm experimenting, I completely forget to do it again haha.
Atomic Shrimp I like that you took the time to cook up a little bit as you would sausage even though you could eat the mix raw. Cooking it up is closest to how it will be served in the final dish and therefore allows you to adjust flavors accordingly and more accurately than just tasting the slightly cool raw mixture. Cheers.

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!

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)

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.
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’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.
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!
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.
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.
@@AtomicShrimp I became Vegan this year, so many good alternatives available now. Best decision I have ever made. I found it easy, and I grew up having to catch and prepare some of our own meat. I recommend the Bosh cookbooks for ideas.
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!
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.
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
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
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 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.
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.
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...
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 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.
Texture looks great, can I suggest you wrap the black pudding in cling film and simmer it in a pot. No need for flour, you can put a little oil again just to be safe. Then cool them down for the night. Unwrap and slice . Will help you keep the circular shape :)
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!
Videos like this are really the reason why I like Shrimp so much I'm 23 years old, and many people that are my age that I know shy out from just trying new things out, and I don't want to get started on my parents or grandparents Shrimp here is just making his own Recipes for Vegan Black Pudding, not because he wants to be Vegan or something (there is nothing wrong with that btw.), no he is just doing it out of curiosity That's something, even if it seems small, that I really admire in people, that drive to learn or try something new even when it's not necessary
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.
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 so enjoy your creativity and adventuresome spirit when it comes to cooking. You broaden mind about possible choices for personalizing recipes. Cook on!
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 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
The bests channels are ones like these that have a great variety of topics and videos. I just discovered your channel and so far I really enjoy your content.

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!
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 ☀️
Perfect timing. I just sat down with my breakfast and this video popped up. I love these cooking and food videos.
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’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.
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!
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
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.
You always amaze me with your creativity in cooking. A joy to watch, but probably not attempt this. Thank you for these great videos.
Well done on saving a piggie today. Try Richmond meat free sausages, by far the best alternative you can get.
not to be a downer but I think a pig would die regardless of whether you bought vegan sausages, meat sausages or no sausage at all.
Ever heard of supply and demand?
I'm going to be reviewing Richmond Meat-Free this weekend!
@@AtomicShrimp I became Vegan this year, so many good alternatives available now. Best decision I have ever made. I found it easy, and I grew up having to catch and prepare some of our own meat. I recommend the Bosh cookbooks for ideas.
Pigs are only good for eating
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.
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!
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.
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've been looking forward to this

Thank you for the Vegan ideas ! Rudds in Ireland make a nice Vegan Black Pudding
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 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 learning so much about mushrooms from you, thank you!
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.
Really enjoying your recent vids.
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.
Everybody loves food....just keep them coming.
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.
I had triangular black pudding the other day, it was bloody lovely too!!
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...
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 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.
Texture looks great, can I suggest you wrap the black pudding in cling film and simmer it in a pot. No need for flour, you can put a little oil again just to be safe. Then cool them down for the night. Unwrap and slice . Will help you keep the circular shape :)
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!
I love that you’re making something vegan.
I really enjoyed the "Chicken of the Woods" video too :)
In my language that mushroom is called Sulphuric mushroom :P
Good on you for attempting something new! That's how discoveries are made.
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
Videos like this are really the reason why I like Shrimp so much
I'm 23 years old, and many people that are my age that I know shy out from just trying new things out, and I don't want to get started on my parents or grandparents
Shrimp here is just making his own Recipes for Vegan Black Pudding, not because he wants to be Vegan or something (there is nothing wrong with that btw.), no he is just doing it out of curiosity
That's something, even if it seems small, that I really admire in people, that drive to learn or try something new even when it's not necessary
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
Black mushroom pudding sounds delicious 😋
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.
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.
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 think every thing you do on your channel is so much fun to watch. thank you so much.
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.
I so enjoy your creativity and adventuresome spirit when it comes to cooking. You broaden mind about possible choices for personalizing recipes. Cook on!
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.
Great video. I like how you took the risk of making something out of nothing and being creative. Love the enthusiasm.
I'm vegetarian and this looks pretty good. I might try this some day.
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.
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
Been watching a lot of your vids recently. Thank you for trying and sharing these vegan recipes.
Did you say "Second *Wurst* same as the first?"
The bests channels are ones like these that have a great variety of topics and videos. I just discovered your channel and so far I really enjoy your content.
If you can refine and perfect that recipie, there's good money to be made from your innovation I reckon.
Definitely my favourite channel on RUclips.
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
As much as i really like eating meat, i love seeing stuff like this. I absolutely want to try this.
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
Love the show. Just generally enjoyable and calming. Thank you, sir.
"Why?"
Because every good recipe started as an experiment or an accident.
This is so inventive. Love ❤ u Mr Mike.
i burn toast, but it's fun watching someone who can cook
Turn the dial left
You're welcome
That’s a really tasty looking vegan dish right there, I’m definitely going to try it out! Thanks!💚
