The Swedish standard is black pudding. Dirt cheap (still is), fried in
slices and served with lingonberry jam. Malaches -- at least my
redaction -- come out not very different from Swedish black pudding.
I still eat it -- both the store bought stuff (I prefer the Scania
regional version, with raisins) and the home made malaches from Forme of
Cury.

Period food angle; anyone compared the malaches white with the "modern"
Scottish white pudding (whose gaelic name sounds something like
"malach...")?

More Surrealpolitik than Realpolitik, but then, this *is* Ireland we're
