Thanks Dad. I learnt many things from you, and this one of your finest lessons. :thumbsup:

I hope that you had some black pudding.  I have decided that I am going to concoct two Stockbridge sausages.  I thought that one could include black pudding and Hendersons Relish not sure about the other one.... Suggestions for the other one on a postcard please.
