brainwashed when I later went to school in London, I like black 
pudding. It used to be very much a Northern 'thing' but nowadays 
often appears all over the country as part of that menu curiosity, 
the all-day breakfast.

Carol responds:

A punishment for favoring York over Lancaster in the Wars of the
Roses? :-p!!

At the very worst, make me eat *Yorkshire* pudding (which doesn't
sound too bad; my mother used to fry eggs and American-style pancakes
in bacon grease before she became health conscious). If you want to
punish me appropriately, surround me with yipping Yorkshire terriers.

Never mind. I'd rather eat black pudding. Heck, I'd rather eat tripe,
and that's saying a lot.

On a side note, many American restaurants also feature the all-day
breakfast, heavy on eggs, bacon, and pancakes. (Our bacon is also
rather different from yours; less gristly than the bacon I had in
London, anyway. I did enjoy the Best Bacon Baguette in the Turk's Head
Inn in Oxford, if I'm recalling the name correctly. It was within
walking distance of the Bodleian and was one of the few
air-conditioned places I could find in Oxford during the July 1995
heatwave. Imagine being in England for a month and only having to use
an umbrella once!)

punishment :-)
