"The full English is a U.K. tradition gracing morning meal tables nationwide - in Great Britain, that is. In the U.S., one of the staple elements of a full English carries a dicey legal status. A full English breakfast comprises eggs (fried, poached, or scrambled), sausages, toast, grilled or fried tomatoes, back bacon, English-style baked beans, and black pudding. Notably, black pudding is also a staple of the full Irish breakfast meal and the Ulster fry."
"Black pudding - not to be confused with white pudding - isn't a "pudding" at all. Instead, it's a type of blood sausage ( an all-time favorite of the late-great Anthony Bourdain). Specifically, black pudding is made from a combination of pork blood, onions, herbs and seasonings, plus cereal grains like oatmeal, oat groats, or barley as a binder. On the breakfast table, it typically appears sliced and fried."
"Black pudding is subjected to strict commercial import and sales restrictions in the U.S. due to national food safety precautions. The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Services has thorough standards surrounding animal blood used as a food ingredient. Some versions of black pudding also include sheep lungs, which are illegal to import into the U.S. Foodies can't bring authentic haggis (sheep lung) back from Scotland,"
A full English breakfast commonly includes eggs, sausages, toast, grilled or fried tomatoes, back bacon, English-style baked beans, and black pudding. Black pudding is a blood sausage made from pork blood, onions, herbs, seasonings, and cereal grains such as oatmeal, oat groats, or barley; some recipes include lard or beef suet and herbs like pennyroyal, marjoram, thyme, and mint. The legal concern centers on import and commercial-sale controls rather than personal consumption or possession. USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service standards regulate animal blood as an ingredient, and some varieties contain sheep lungs, which are illegal to import.
