Years ago I posted a translation/redaction/whatever of the Malaches
recipie in Forme of Cury. Black pudding in various forms is very firmly
entrenched in Swedish traditional cuisine (not high cuisine party food,
but god solid everyday fare, good for a full days work), and today is
very common as a childrens favourite. Usually served with lingonberries.

I think that we are talking about twin utilities; waste-not-want-not
(starvation -- both short term and terminal -- was a real possibility
for most people during the middle ages), and the fact that you _can_
make good food out of it.
