Is there anywhere in Richmond you can get good black pudding? Been jonesing for it since a trip to the UK years ago.

I would check with Tanya at Belmont Butchery. If she doesn’t have any, she’ll likely know where you can get it.

I was actually planning to call them if I didn't get a good suggestion here. I've heard that place is awesome.

Rare Old Times has it as part of their Full Irish breakfast. It's not the best you'll ever have, but it's fine.

Related, you can find blood sausage in some hispanic grocery stores on the southside.

You know, I didn't find it to be half as good in Ireland for some reason. But if it's irish style it might still scratch the itch. Thank you!

This place in the Detroit area will ship it to you. I know it’s not in Richmond but my wife is from Detroit and raves over this place:

You can find a blood sausage at any Balkan deli or restaurant. Not the same. I get ours from Scottish Gourmet formerly out of NJ but in NC now I believe. Their shipping used to be very reasonable and they take orders for the Celtic Festival and deliver your order at the event.

Man, we're about to drive around NC doing escape rooms and Greensboro is just a bit too far off of our route. Maybe I can find another reason to detour..

Try Thai One On, the owner is British and they have British groceries like sausage links and sausage rolls so may have some!

You can order it on amazon but it only comes in packages of like 5-10 pounds i believe. Good stuff though

I think I have a black pudding in the back of my refrigerator.

Not around Richmond. Found passable in Northern Virginia. Pure Pasty usually stock. I’m told the Hawk and Griffin pub (Vienna) use the same black pudding in their full English breakfast - yet to go there, so unable to provide a review.

gross. No such thing exists.

Ask at Belmont or Penny lane
