Americans often get confused with English bacon because all that pink stuff is actual meet, as opposed to the crispy strips of fat Americans eat. Who knew bacon had meat! The black round thing is black pudding. Black pudding, also known as blood pudding, is typically made from animal blood, usually pork, fat, and cereal grains such as oatmeal or barley. These ingredients are seasoned with spices and onion. It has a firm, slightly crumbly, and earthy flavor and is typically sliced and pan-fried or grilled. Mmmmm-mmmmm!
