GordieBoy80 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Not even the central belt. Whenever I'm up in Arbroath, I make a point of trying to stop for a red pudding supper. Munchie boxes appear to have spread to the north east, but sadly, red puddings remain localised. I've been spoiled staying in Fife and Dundee up until last year then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob the tank Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 In my youth the red pudding was widely available throughout stirlingshire and clackmannanshire but seems to be very hard to find nowadays.I think it could be because of the mines closing down(seriously).

nelsjfc Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Im pretty sure you can get them in Dundee! I could be wrong, but I think I got one a couple months back out of the Discovery Chippie. ...and unbelievably you lived to tell the tale. Never tasted a red pudding supper, although this thread might have tempted me to try it next time. Not understanding the white pudding abuse - as long as its relatively fresh white puddding is excellent. Had a white pudding supper with curry sauce the other day; fusion food at its finest. Might start being more adventurous at the chippy - can someone please explain what a Mock chop is before I try it though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleash The Nade Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Apparently you can still get them in Tropicana! Here's one with two "sexy " santas!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 There's a chippy down the road from me, Ally G's, and they do them. I'm sure if you had a scout around you'd be able to find more places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeebarry Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Might start being more adventurous at the chippy - can someone please explain what a Mock chop is before I try it though? The humble mock chop is a strange beast. Someone in the chippy industry saw a chop and thought, "I'm going to mock one of them up." Thing is, they're f**k all like any chop I've ever tasted. It's more like a burger. They tried to mess with chop-related nature, to act as chippy god, and failed. They truly have made a mockery of a chop. Quite tasty though, nel, so give it a bash. I've never tried a red pudding. They've always struck me as deeply untrustworthy, somehow. I'll eat just about anything but red pudding resides on the far side of my culinary line in the sand. White puddings are the way forward, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordieBoy80 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Red puddings are the greatest chippy food since someone dropped their pizza in the fryer and thought "f**k it, I'm not wasting it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 They sound a bit like king ribs. Which are not ribs at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeebarry Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 They sound a bit like king ribs. Which are not ribs at all. Good point, Wilson. Very good point. You order the ribs of a king and get the off-cuts of unspecified farm yard animal. I love a good chippy tea and am loathe to bite the greasy hand that feeds me, but they're kind of taking the piss here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gus Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I fucking loves a King Rib! Done right in some clean, hot oil with a light and crispy batter they are like cooked hoof from Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeebarry Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 cooked hoof from Heaven. If wailing fundamentalist vegetarian of note Morrisey ever loses the plot and gets all carnivorous in his old age, he should definitely call his beef phase album 'Cooked Hoof from Heaven'.

To be fair, I have been ramming white puddings in for years without having a clue what they were. I think the chippy industry does well considering most of us seem not to have a fucking clue about what we are eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints Bevy Squad Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Never had white or red pudding, heard rave reviews about the white but never came across anyone who has tried the red. Want to try both now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chippy industry goes beyond the looking glass. It's perhaps worth noting that you never see them and the NWO in the same room. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe.... I've already said too much. Draw your own conclusions, man.This conversation never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further evidence of the outrageous and greasy lies that we're swallowing far too fucking easily here, people. Chips? Steak? Nowhere to be found when you unwrap the Murdoch-owned wrapper on a chipsteak supper. Is anyone complaining? Nope. We just keep stuffing our faces with the unhealthiest food in the universe, food that clogs our arteries and clouds our minds. Somewhere along the way the wool was pulled tightly over our eyes, friends. When it was time to ask serious questions we meekly requested a couple of pickled onions and a bottle of Irn Bru.

Pit an egg in anaw. King ribs are tasty, nothing makes the batter tastier! Best not to quiz the gristle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
