Ah the Northern vs Irish black pudding argument another thing I am treated to when I visit the in-laws. M-in-law being from Bury and F-in-law from Tipperary. IMO the jury is still out on the pudding but Irish sausage wins over English any day.


Thanks for the tip about Vals grocer Sean.


Oh my poor arteries.

now this just goes to show the wonderful diversity of the human race - no way I'd eat that! onions? I think not. Having spent most of my life in south east london, and having never been to Spain or Ireland, I've really only had the stuff you get in the caffs of the British Isles. And yet I started this whole black pud debate! Is that like saying I am a fan of modern oriental cuisine because I like noodlenoodle near victoria?!?

I don't think so, that would be like saying you like ancient mesopotamian cuisine because you like bread.

I think pretty much every culture on earth has some equivalent of black pudding as it's so incredibly rich in protein and nutritious. Squeamishness is a very modern affectation that's come about through a dissociation between animals and the meat product. Did any one see river cafe last night, the looks on people's faces when they killed the chicken?


I was just pointing out that, much as I love British pud, Franklins* do a mean one too btw, in Spain they have a vast variety whereas here it's largely homogenous. And don't knock the onion version til you try it, the onions are swat down til they're almost liquid caramel, just as they should be in a decent spanish-omelette.


*You see, still juuuust about on topic.

The maasai drink fresh cows blood mixed with milk. Highly nutritious and you don?t have to slaughter the cow so it becomes more of a sustainable resource.


Napoleons cavalry would have a small tube inserted into their horse?s necks from which they would siphon blood when they were short on rations.


Compared to things like liver and kidneys blood is actually a very clean part of an animal.


So to stay on topic here. Which ED caff was it again that does black pud?

Just to get off the subject of black pudding for a bit.( what is white pudding anyway? The puss as opposed to the blood I presume.)

I have to say that the Blue Brick wins my vote. As a veggy, the chips are the most important bit of the fry up for me and at the BB they're homemade. Theres a certain charm to the place as well.

Surely a veggie fry up is a contracdiction in terms? Ask 100 people what consitutes a fry up and I'm sure 95% will identify bacon and sausages as the key ingredients plus a fried egg (never sure where eggs sit on veggies scale of good / bad) all of which are of animal origin.

I quite often have the veggie fry up with added bacon if I'm not in the mood for snags, black pud etc.


Mushrooms, beans, tomatoes, hash browns, bubble, egg and obviously bacon.

It's just less heavy, though I usually get a funny look.


I've stopped asking for a cup o' char after one too many cappuccinos from charming, pretty eastern europeans lacking colloquialisms.

I think eggs is a vegan thing for most, but depends on the individual veggie.

      Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

      Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here.

      Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.

      I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
