Black Pudding in Washington DC?

[Dean_UK]

Is there anywhere in the Washington DC area that sells black pudding? I am from the UK and I cannot tell you how much I miss black pudding :(

Classic Cigars and British Goodies in Clarendon has a fine selection of British food imports like Cumberland sausage, meats pies and Aero Bars. I dont remember specifically seeing black pudding there but i bet they would have it. I have not been in a good three months so my memory is fading.

It's also a component of the "Irish breakfast" at Ri-Ra, the fake Irish pub on Elm St in Bethesda. (I'm just making fun of the place - actually I think that fry-up is pretty good.)

Have you tried the butcher at Eastern Market? I haven't tried to buy it there since I like it in very small doses only so I don't know for sure that they'd have it, but they do have a wide variety of sausages.

I don't know about shops, but I can tell you that Ireland's Four Courts, a restaurant in Arlington, VA has it on the menu:

Cheers.

P.S. You might also inquire at Commonwealth, a British-inspired gastropub in DC:

I was honestly hoping to buy some. I have never tried blood sausage, is this the same as black pudding does anyone know? I presume blood sausage would be easier to get in Washington DC than black pudding.

Just about every country has a spin on blood sausage. Germany, Spanish, French, British. On my last trip to Germany I had a delicious Wolf-fish (European Seabass) stuffed with a German style blood sausage. It was one of the best I've had.

I don't know for sure, but regarding blood sausage, you could try the Mozart German deli in downtown DC. I assume that there are also more places in the suburbs that sell it as well

An Austrian friend of mine tells me that Cafe Mozart German Deli should have blood sausage:

He also thinks that you may be able to find it at Eastern Market.

you can usually find Morcilla and Boudin Noir at Canales Deli and Canales Quality Meats, I don't recall seeing blood sausage/pudding per se (but then I wasn't looking) if anyone has it they would. but I'd call first. Union Meat, might, but they tend towards the more straight forward fare.
