Did you know there was a World Black Pudding Throwing Competition? Well, there is, and several hundred people showed up to participate in re-enactment of an ancient battle between Yorkshire and Lancashire. What is black pudding, you say?
Black pudding is a speciality of the region and consists of cooked pigs’ blood, fat and rusk encased in a length of intestine.And how do you compete, you ask?
Contestants threw black puddings at a stack of Yorkshire puddings 20ft off the ground in a bid to knock off more than their opponents.This year, more than 300 entered the competition, with some from as far away as Australia. Ick.

..black pudding is nice... but, only when it's fried up in the mornings with eggs... I wouldn't want to have it in the evenings with Yorkshire pudding.. that's just wrong..
