Disastrous Experiment With Black Pudding

[Tilly2]

earlier, I began to make a tomato sauce to eat with pasta for our evening meal. I softened the onions and was about to add the tinned tomatoes when I remembered I had a piece of black pudding in the fridge that needed eating.

I took the black pudding and cut it into bits, imagining that, when I added it to the softened onions, it would add a nice crunchy, tasty texture to the sauce. How wrong I was.

What I ended up with was a frying pan full soft onions and things that looked like blood clots! Undeterred, I added a tin of tomatoes and put a lid on and left it. Result......a disgusting looking, dark brown, bloody looking, thick, but lumpy sauce.

It went in the waste disposal and I started again. No black pudding this time and it looks, and hopefully tastes, a lot better.

Tell me your experimental disasters......

Tilly: When I was about 8 years old my dad cooked me steak and chips and I was allowed a glass of red wine with my meal. Whilst leaning over to grab the gravy I knocked the glass of red wine over - it went all over my steak and chips. My dad made me eat it.

I cooked a pan of scouse (stew) once and added mushrooms about an hour before the end of simmering. It went a sort of zombie grey colour. Fine to eat with your eyes closed, but ueeeewww. I binned it.
My mum's best was cooking a suet pudding at school when she was 11. She was v proud as she brought it home, but my granny saw it wasn't cooked. Grandad put it in the fire to cook, and it put the whole fire out!
