Your description of black pudding is correct (and it is delicious, even if Mrs. Fnarf won't let me cook it in the kitchen) but you missed out on "the white". White pudding is similar but replaces the blood with suet (beef) or lard (pork) or even vegetarian versions eaten at Lent. Black pudding is also a common feature in a "full English" but it's not a full Irish unless it includes both the black and the white (and also soda bread, though the long baguette makes the soda bread superfluous in a breakfast roll).

This is such a confusing mix of joy at my heritage and deep sadness. It encapsulates this moment, truly.

This is wonderful. The "transcript" to the linked YouTube of Shortt's performance is just, wow. The AI made a valiant effort, but 🤪
