The wrong side might be better known for it, but there is plenty made over here. My Mum used to work for Cooplands, who were based in Doncaster and had branches mostly in South Yorkshire and north Notts, but who were regular champions in the black pudding making world. Yes, you can get medals for making black pudding.

So did I miss it or something, because I still don't know how or why the land got it's name.Or is it just that it looks like a black pudding?

Hi TrollI think the area that Festwerfer refers to was near the old broom pit and Babbingtons scrapyard. The best way i can describe it ,having got stuck knee deep in it as a nipper, is that it seemed to be a mixture of water, coal dust and shale covering half an acre possibly something to do with coal washing at the pit. dangerous all the same.

I was talking to a Pagan friend of mine yesterday who used to do rituals in Middleton Woods. She told me that there was supposed to be a ghost that rose from the area known as "The Black Pudding" and that she was warned about it as a child.Anyone else heard about this?it did cross my mind today that it might have been a subtle way of keeping kids away from a dangerous area; in the same way I was warned that Jenny Greenteeth would get me if I went too near old ponds, or grids, in manchester when I was a kid!

Although the only -place I've ever seen white pudding is in Ireland - perhaps it's made from all the left over white parts from Guiness - or perhaps not
