The Unexpected Ingredient Gordon Ramsay Uses In His Scotch Eggs - Mashed

In a 2022 YouTube video, Gordon Ramsay crumbles up black pudding and adds it to his sausage mixture, which he says will make the sausage a bit "spicier." He also shares that the black pudding helps season the eggs inside.

For those unaccustomed to the English vernacular, black pudding is blood sausage, hence the dark color. According to BBC Good Food, black pudding is typically a sausage made with pig blood. The blood was originally added so as not to waste anything from the pig's slaughter. The ground pig meat is combined with various other ingredients and spices, and the binding agent that holds it all together is either barley or oatmeal.

While some people may be a bit squeamish with the delicacy, black pudding receives its fair share of love and is typically served as part of a traditional English breakfast. Black Pudding Club celebrates all things black pudding. The website shares facts about black pudding as well as black pudding news and even sells merchandise. The outlet even features a black pudding adaptation of Ramsay's roasted scallops and cauliflower purée.

If you're new to eating pig's blood, a scotch egg may be the perfect way to experience your first taste.
