Black pudding (or blood sausage)

Crumpets Crumpets are generally circular roughly 8 cm in diameter and 2 cm thick. They have a characteristic flat top with many small pores and a chewy and spongy texture. They may be cooked until ready to eat warm from the pan, but are frequently left slightly undercooked so that they may be cooled and stored before being eaten freshly toasted. They are often eaten with a spread of butter or some alternative spread on the top of them.

English Cream Tea Etiquette With tea and scones with jam and Cornish clotted cream (served best in Cornwall)
