Red pudding is a food commonly served at chip shops in the North East of England and certain parts of Scotland as an alternative to fish (see Fish and chips). Naturally, the pudding is coloured red inside. It consists of spicy pork meat and fat that is formed into the shape of a large sausage of roughly 8 inches in length. In different chip shops red pudding is either deep-fried on its own or coated with batter. The red pudding is served warm and usually wrapped to take home. It is not as dry to eat as similar local delicacies of black pudding or white pudding. It is similar in taste to a saveloy.
