BLACK
PUDDING WITHOUT THE OINK!
There's
been something missing from the veggie version of the great British
breakfast - veggie sausage, veggie bacon - but no black pudding!
Now all that has changed and vegetarians can celebrate the arrival
of the V PUD - the revolutionary
vegetarian black pudding and the only one of its kind across the
land. Andrew Holt, creator of the V PUD and the proprietor of The
Real Lancashire Black Pudding Co identified the gap in the market
and felt that vegetarians and people on special diets alike were
missing out on the gastronomic delight of this traditional Lancashire
product, so he set about creating a meat-free version replicating
the traditional texture and flavour.

I think the concept is flawed. If it is vegetarian it's not Black Pudding. This is just a way of trying to convince veggies that they can enjoy meat without the blood and death. There's nothing wrong with being a veggie, why eat ersatz meat products?
I've been vegetarian for 20 years and I've never been a fan of these imitation meat products. As far as I'm concerned, veg should look and taste like veg.
