Ahem. It's not that I have no consideration whatsoever for the people of Yorkshire, who no doubt suffer terribly under English occupation, but fot now, I would like to try to repair a wrong in another matter.

A bit upset by Google inability to translate correctly "boudin", I've taken matters in my own hands.
So, for today's meal, I prepared some and have taken a picture. So, gentlemen, tiens, voilà du boudin !

As you can notice, the french boudin noir should not be mistaken for any kind of dessert.
It ressembles indeed british black pudding, but should definitely not be translated as "pudding" for short.

It should, however, have a sausage-like shape, but unfortunately mine has blown apart in my pan, while I was busy with some Pendraken skeletons. Alas, sometimes, mixing pleasures don't lead to the best.

Talking about pleasure, and to be really exhaustive with this topic, "Boudin" in argotic french also means "Not really pretty girl".

Will there be a Yorkshire forum?

I'm a (North) Yorkshireman so technically this is a Yorkshire forum  :D

Things I've been heard saying recently:

"am going tut maintaaain tut daytabaase"

"I'll 'appen that's it"

"you'll get a good braying"

"daft as a brush"

:D

Well, a "Tiens voilà du boudin !" forum section could easily welcome every nationality [..]

Except of course the Belgians ("qui sont des tireurs au c--") .. :o

Is Middlesburg part of Yorkshire now? I mean its one of those places that dont really get claimed by a county ( I mean who would eh? :D)
Or does it simply go under  "Land of Smog"?

God save Sunderland

Sunderland!  Get away ya dirty Mackam!

I don't know what Middlesbrough comes under anymore.  Cleveland was scrapped in the county sense, but is still around on a legislative level, and we've still got Cleveland Police, Cleveland Fire Brigade, etc.  I think one theory was that anything north of the Tees was to be classed as Durham, anything south was North Yorkshire.
