Guest craigkimbo Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Anybody know where to fine black pudding on the sunshine coast? I cant be the only one who misses this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Your not the only one,, i really miss my Bury Black Pud too,lol. Some Coles or Woolys sell them and the pommy shops normaly have them too. I have tried 3 or 4 different ones since we arrived here and none are even on par with what im used to :cry: Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Joker Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 This I would like to know too. I know a great little place just south of Brisbane (just off the Pacific Motorway just south of Logan) that does English food and stocks black pudding but now live up on the Sunny Coast. So a more local source for that Sunday morning fry-up with all the trimmings is needed. Damn, you've got me drooling now and craving a fry-up with all the trimmings.

His black puddings are horrible, they stink of xmas cake (presume cinnamon) when you cook them,definately nothing like the ones up north in the UK,lol. Most of the other stuff they sell Potato cakes, Pies, Scotch Pies etc are gorgeous but his BPs leave much to be desired,lol. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Joker Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I think the problem is that the traditional UK black pudding recipe is not legal here in Oz. Some health and safety reason about congealed blood. So they have to try and recreate a black pudding using legal ingredients. Safe to say they will never taste like real BP.

Guest Guest31881 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have tried several since being here, now given up on trying to get an authentic taste, as The Joker said, I think its something to do with the law and what they are allowed to use. I have managed a couple of pork pies, but cant get those where I live now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest36187 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Best curries are home made (by Mark - not that I am biased!) or an an Indian near us called `The Indus`. Perfection! I only liked Indian since moving here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Joker Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 So far we have found one Indian restaurant that we really like (well, two restaurants but they are owned and run by the same person). The Little Indian Palace in Cleveland and Redland Bay. We have been told of one up here in Alexandra Headlands but we haven't tried it yet. The Bombay Bliss is passable. But the true, authentic English Balti run by some Brummies in Birkdale - well people rave about it but the three times I have been I have been hugely dissappointed and didn't enjoy it. The other thing I miss (and have had loads in the two trips back to England that I have done in 8 years) is Scampi. Don't know why but that is something I miss and seek out when I go back. First meal when I land and a double portion as the last meal when I leave. However, I HAVE found somewhere in Queensland that does it - Chumley Warners in Birkdale - a couple of shops up from the Balti place. Pukker English fish and chips (and Pukka Pies and proper pork sausages in batter, and batter pieces and mushy peas, cod in proper batter). I highly recommend a visit if you are ever in the vicinity.

Guest flip Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 You could always try these Rob the Butcher in Dandenong: Order Page I've only ever collected meats from him at the butchers but it looks like he mails out - don't know anything about delivery but it might be worth emailing and checking out. His gammon's lovely when I cook it right, his ordinary pork pies aren't much different from those I can now get at Woolworths though he does do other ingredients. Happy shopping.

Guest Guest16631 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I wondered if any one has tried making the things they miss, home made pork pies are nice it is the fresh hot water crust pastry that makes it different also useing good pork,bake well tart is quite easy.any other tried and tested home goodies?:smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Joker Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Roast beef, crispy roast spuds, yorskshire puddings - that's always a favourite in our house. Had a load of Aussies round one day who had never had yorkshire puds before, so I made an extra large batch and they scoffed the lot. Proper sherry trifle (the Aussies loved that as well, greedy gits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest merth111 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I don't think there's too many butchers in sydney. Most butchers either seem to try and sell meat cheaper than coles/woolworths or sell "uber wanky" stuff, which is good but very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But guess what?......................I met up with an old school friend last week and her boyfriend is the bloke who makes all the black puddings for Chadwicks on the market! How bizarre is that! I must get her to ask him to look into exporting to Aus although I suspect someone has already tried and failed! cheers! Val x:wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
