Heritage junk food record

We had occasion to visit Yelverton last week, just south of Dartmoor and a few miles north of Plymouth, and so were able to stock up on white puddings, taking three of them from the butcher there. A butcher which still sports a cash kiosk, unusual these days, at the back of the shop. A change from the rather different puddings we get here in Epsom, made by Slomers.

We also had some white bread, so the first one went, sliced and fried, in white pudding sandwiches. The following day, the second one went with boiled vegetables - potatoes, carrots and cabbage. The next but one day after that, the third one went the same way, that is to say about an hour ago. So heritage junk food on three out of the last four days. Definitely a record! Not to mention other sorts of junk food on other days, like pies, pasties and burgers.

I forgot to take a picture myself, but the snap above is about right, complete with natural, that is to say, edible, casings. From Newfoundland. Otherwise, the sort of grub that people living in wilder parts can't afford to turn up. But given the way that black pudding and pork belly have moved into both casual dining and fine dining, how long will it be before white pudding turns up?

Reference 3: W A Bidder & Sons - Yelverton - Devon. I did not like to ask whether he (or his wife) made the puddings themselves - despite it being the sort of thing that provincial butchers sometimes still do for themselves. Think of the pork pies from Edis of Ely.
