Clonakilty Black Pudding · Cork

West Cork's signature dish, a black pudding made from pork blood, oatmeal, beef suet, and a closely guarded spice mix. Sliced thick and pan-fried, it is the most copied yet rarely matched of Ireland's blood puddings.

The recipe traces to Johanna O'Brien, a farmer's wife from Sam's Cross who made puddings for Harrington's butcher shop in Clonakilty in the 1880s. The Harrington family kept the secret spice mix going for a century; Edward Twomey bought Harrington's in 1976 and built the Clonakilty brand into the national reference for Irish black pudding.
