Don't know if it's closer to what you're looking for or what I'm looking for (the Spanish version of your Irish black pudding), but I noticed that Le Moulin de Provence in the market has boudin noir. Haven't tried it, though--will post if I do. Let me know if you do!

I've only had it once and it was OK for a fried blood pudding but I really prefer mine boiled.

I got lucky - went out today to get a pork belly to make bacon and they had a fresh batch of blood pudding just made today! Get it while you can because they only make it every 2 or 3 months and it does not last long each time.

Just had it on a toasted bagel with dijon and it was incredible!

Nooooooo! I went back today to stock up, and was told that this is only seasonal and the season is now over. Waaaaaaaaaa!

Oh man! Real blood sausage finally! $4.20 for 3 huge pieces is just an insane price. I vacuum sealed 2 of them and tossed them into the freezer, and dug right into the 3rd one. Unfortunately the only thing I have to compare it to is the big factory stuff, so it should be no surprise that this is far better than anything I've ever had before. Well worth it.
