Missing: black puddings
Hopefully it is just an ordering oversight, but there was no sign of any black puddings this morning in GF. I hope it is an ordering oversight, but the menu seems to have changed since Monday evening, and black puddings are no longer listed in the "Please help yourself" breakfast section 
Courgette tart is replaced with shallot and red wine tart, plus there is now cream of mushroom soup and Lake District farmed game terrine. So it is not all bad news post-breakfast.

As much as I have praised the BA lounge food offerings in the past I have to say I wasn't that keen on the black pudding I had in the arrivals lounge last time I was there. I thought it tasted rather bland.

You beat me to this!
Here is the full menu:

The black pudding makes spasmodic appearances, but it would be good to see it as a regular item since it's an efficient use of a pig.

Ate it with gusto in western Canada around Christmas. Called dark buckwheat sausage or "Kashanka" and sold in some Polish/Ukrainian butcher shops in a ring - like those wonderful rings of garlic sausage (aka ham sausage).

I believe the police are seeking a man fitting the description of Bill Oddie seen leaving GF with a large box of black puddings. If seen he is not to be approached.

What is required on the menu - I think - is a bit of horse meat. It would show to the world that BA is truly international ;-)
Or maybe the head of a battered guinnea pig for HIDDY. ;-)

Like Hiddy I like black pudding in batter too - on trips to Scotland, I have also enjoyed battered haggis. Thinking of which why not a Burn's supper in GF on 25th?
