What is baked black pudding triangle best for?
The generous triangle is more versatile than a breakfast-only ingredient. Its concentrated flavour is especially good with egg, apple, scallops, earthy mushrooms and sharp relishes. Slice only the amount you need, then keep the rest chilled as directed on the pack.
- Build a fuller English breakfast around crisp slices.
- Pair small pieces with seared scallops and a fruit element.
- Use as a savoury component on a sharing plate with pickles.
How should you cook and serve it?
Remove the sleeve, slice the triangle and fry or grill it for 6–8 minutes, following the current pack instructions and ensuring it is thoroughly cooked. Serve immediately while the outside is crisp and the centre remains substantial.
For a sharing plate, keep the portions small and add acidity from pickles or apple; that contrast stops the dish feeling heavy.

Product-specific detail: this Yorkshire-made triangle is baked rather than boiled, giving it a substantial texture. The ingredients include wheat flour, oatmeal and pearl barley, so it is not suitable for guests avoiding those cereals.
How should black pudding be cooked and stored?
Remove the sleeve, cut even slices and fry or grill them for the supplier's stated six to eight minutes. Ensure each portion is thoroughly heated before serving. Keep the unopened product below 5°C and use it within six days of opening.
The Food Standards Agency advises following pack cooking instructions and checking that food is steaming hot throughout; see its cooking guidance. Always recheck the product label for wheat, oats, barley and other declared allergens.
