Red pudding



Red pudding is a food commonly served at chip shops in Scotland as an alternative to fish (see Fish and chips). Naturally the pudding is coloured red inside. It consists of spicy pork meat and fat that is formed into the shape of a large sausage of roughly 9 inches in length. This is then coated with a thick crispy outer layer of batter by deep frying it, making it quite thick. The red pudding is served warm and usually wrapped to take home. It is not as dry to eat as similar local delicacies of black pudding or white pudding.
