A chara, - Unlike Dick Hogan (September 2nd), I would rate Clonakilty black pudding as merely "better than average", which, heaven knows, is not saying much.
Of course, I have the advantage (or disadvantage?) of having tasted black pudding in the days when every farmer killed a pig and when his wife produced, as a matter of course, what is apparently beyond the capacity of presentday manufacturers: namely, real black pudding. - Is mise,
