That is pretty cold. I currently have plus 12.5 Celsius, so 54.5 Fahrenheit. I think the last time I was in your level of cold was skiing in the Swiss Alps.
There was me thinking “What’s she complaining about, I could wish for August days that warm”. Then I realised you are probably in America and that’s a Fahrenheit reading not a Celcius one.
Black pudding is indeed made from pigs blood. It comes from a time when nothing was wasted. The saying was…..the only part of a pig that you can’t eat is the squeal.
I would absolutely agree with you with just a small change. Fried back bacon, eggs, black pudding, tomatoes, sausages, baked beans and a strong cup of breakfast tea. A breakfast made in heaven.
