Lol its funny to me how people get triggered because u do a variety of things on this channel. I mean I think its awesome that you do. After all variety is the spice of life..

As a vegan subscriber who doesn't mind watching your nonvegan videos, I appreciate this addition!

I am never going to do this, but I enjoy vicariously cooking through you

Ah, mushrooms, the meat of the soil. Love your recopies!

"That's the wrong question - the right question is 'why not?'" Love this.

The thing about cooking without meat is that, even if you eat meat, and enjoy meat, and have no moral issues with eating meat, its a fun challenge, ans requires you to get out of the sometimes repetative cycle of cooking meat meals to adapt and make something new. Whether it be attempting to replicate a meat based dish, or just experimenting and mixjng things up, its fun, usually quite healthy, and might even lead you to a new favourite meal. You don't need to be vegan or vegetarian to have fun with meals that are.

Well Mike, you are an odd fellow, but I must say: You steam a good vegan ham.

pepper stocks rise as world supply drops get in quick

Some people seem to almost be offended by vegan and vegetarian foods being explored. Why does it bother anyone that someone else is eating animal free products?

I talked to Babatunde and he said they like to swap out the mushrooms for Scotch Bonnets in this recipe.

Madness, sheer madness. You are playing with forces beyond your ken.

The most authentic vegan sausages I've tasted are the Richmond meat free ones, much better than Meatless Farm imo. Great video :)

You know its a good day when Shrimp uploads

Honestly i would never want to eat normal black pudding (not vegan, just never grew up with it and i dont find the idea of eating fried blood appealing) but i love mushrooms and would totally try this mushroom black pudding.

Honestly, I'm a chef (and a vegan) and I'm highly intriguing. If you don't mind, I'm gonna take this recipe and adept it into something I can put on my menu.

No doggo credit for helping you find "clean" mushrooms?! Poor Eva! That's what she had to say at the end of the video, "where's my credit?!"

9:58 I always get a bit of a shock when I realise you're not just a pair of hands appearing from the bottom of the screen.

Fry some mixture up before cooking the final version then adjust - great tip, maybe obvious, but I wouldn't have thought of doing that.

Since giving up animal products, I have missed black puddings. I will have to try these.

Thank you for trying plant based options. Just like humans don’t deserve to be taken advantage of, animals don’t either. Your channel is dope

Love your videos. Black pudding was the one part of a perfect full-English that I'd never managed (or even attempted) to replicate in vegan form.

"Why not?" Perfect answer, and a great channel. Thanks for all your really interesting content 👌

I really enjoy the variety of content, Mr. Shrimp. You're like someone's friendly next door neighbour who tells them how to forage and also recounts stories of messing with scammers. Although maybe that's TOO specific...

Thank you for featuring vegan food, it is always appreciated.

Mr. Shrimp, I've got a 6yo, he has made it his personal goal to soak the outside world in urine; should take him a while to get across the pond though, so you're foraging grounds are safe for the time being. I'm very interested in giving this a go; I freaking love black pudding but only have it a few times a year for health reasons (I have high cholesterol, working on it though, mainly so I can eat more black pudding, and bacon, and sausage, and steak, and buffalo wings). Pickled walnuts would be difficult to get my hands on however. *SUGGESTION* get a synthetic/vegan sausage casing for the next round.

Thanks for this. My wife is vegetarian out of necessity and I am by convenience. Always love experimenting with new recipes to push the boundaries. Weve been trying to replicate the classic English Breakfast and she loves it so far- im going to surprise her with this next week! Fantastic work. 'Why not?' Absolutely.

I would absolutely love to eat mushrooms every day with this man.

"the world isn't drenched in Urine" I sometimes think this is the problem with Croydon! Seriously though, love the videos and the common sense to cooking via experimenting

Well done on saving a piggie today. Try Richmond meat free sausages, by far the best alternative you can get.

During a trip to Scotland a few years back, I was able to try vegetarian haggis. I've never tried real haggis (being born and raised in Australia, and becoming vegetarian as an early teen- well before I first ever travelled internationally), and I don't expect it actually tasted that much like the real thing, but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless, and it was nice there was an alternative to enable me to something akin to the experience.

If the herb has a strong aromatic scent, and you manually rip it up, do you end up with thyme on your hands? I couldn't resist. Don't worry, I'm getting help.

Ngl this channel is a slice of life and pretty much a lil bit of everything... so while eating I can watch some Cooking / Tasting stuff or While just going on thru life I can watch some foraging or scambaiting. This channel really is unique!

I love your approach to plant based versions of traditional food. Thanks for the ideas! :)

Never ceases to impress me how open to different ideas you are. Coming from a plant based family here, I love your videos :-)

My day was really shitty until you uploaded. Thank you! :)

Yay! SO glad you tried again! I think I would still have added some beetroot and nettles with the wild mushrooms, just for the slightly sweet flavours ... delicious! I grew up eating them! Dad let a nettle patch grow in the garden year round and we ate them regularly instead of dark 'greens'. Your nettle soup reminded me of those times! Love seeing your experiments - whether successful or not! (for the record - I don't like black pudding, but would happily eat either of your concoctions!!)

Looks delicious and far less nasty of a process than making the real stuff lol, I'm not a vegan but I honestly really enjoy that it's grown so much just because it increases the amount of basically new food recipes I can try B)

As a vegan i just want to say thank you for this, I'm curious to try to make this in the future, I love mushrooms they are a good source of vitamin D ☀️

ive had a complete mess of a day and your channel is just the calming energy i need right now thank you! (also its rad youre so open to plant based food)

Some thoughts and ideas I thought I'd share! You can buy pickled walnuts from Sainsbury's if you can't/haven't made your own. Perhaps a burger press would work well for shaping them? Cookie-cutting and then slicing seems to make them break up a bit. And the old recipe Meatless Farm sausages were so much better. The new recipe tastes the same as the Quorn ones which are nowhere near as good. What an interesting experiment, thanks!

Fantastic stuff Shrimp, love your forays into the vegan world with these videos!

I tried the Aldi vegan breakfast pack in January, it had 'black pudding', couldn't tell the difference, it was spot on. It was made by Simon Howie.

I must say that the final texture of your 'black pudding' is identical to the real McCoy. I'm a huge fan of white and black pud, so there is no compromising for me. However, I love aged mushrooms fried up with my brekkie. I'd have no issue with allowing these imposters to sit beside my blood puds on a plate. Well done, fellah!

Cool. Big fan of mushrooms. Glad this turned out alright for you! Edit; Oh, before I had a set of circle cutters, I had two can spanners, one left the round seam on, the other left a sharp edge. I'd keep various sized top and tailed cans to put me on, worked a treat. Made for great egg poachers, biscuit cutters etc. Due to the nature of them, I would swap them out regularly.

Why don’t you grow your own mushrooms? I’d love to see that video from you. You mentioned spores, grown some! And take us on the journey! 🍄 👍🏻

Why would anyone try to do anything new in the kitchen ? Why test ? Why create ? Why writing pointless comments on KZfaq ? ... Guess some mysteries are better left unsolved ! (Thank you for your work :) )

As Ian Malcolm might say "You were so preoccupied with whether you could, you didn't stop to think if you should." :) You do a lot of interesting things so that the rest of us don't have to. Love it.

I love that you’re making something vegan.

The spice blend and use of oats and barley reminds me a lot of my veggie haggis recipe - I use a bit of dried TVP rather than mushrooms though. I've heard molasses (used sparingly) can add a bit of the iron-ey flavour that one expects from meat products too - might be worth investigating!

Thank you for the Vegan ideas ! Rudds in Ireland make a nice Vegan Black Pudding

I really enjoyed the "Chicken of the Woods" video too :) In my language that mushroom is called Sulphuric mushroom :P

O're'gano (as you pronounce it) is the ancient Italian art of pizza-folding.

The year 2050. His arm is the size of a cannon and he's up to his eyeballs in pepper... yet still he grinds on.

I'm a new viewer, only been watching for a few weeks since randomly being recommended a video, but I've really fallen in love with your channel. Your videos just feel comfortable.

To be fair your first attempt looked pretty good, daresay this will too now you've had a practice run.

I've been watching your channel quite a bit over the last week or so. Just wanted to say thank you for producing such interesting and varied content. I suffer quite badly with anxiety and your content is very calming to watch.

The English black pudding is so different from the one those of us with Caribbean roots eat. No oats in ours. We put rice, and the seasoning is minimal. It's backbone really is pork blood. This looks interesting. I'd give it a go.

I’d try this. Love mushrooms and I loved having black pudding when I visited Ireland. I have to say, I really enjoy your newer edits whenever you’re eating the food you’ve cooked. They always make me giggle.

If you ever want to do this again, the meat free shroomdog sausages from Sainsbury's are the best I've tried. They fit the theme too!

I have made the same thing but with a different flavor profile. I go straight to the pan now n bake. I'm ok with the square shape. I would never eat real black pudding but I definitely would eat the vegan version. It looks delicious. I'm gonna make it.

I've been looking forward to this

I love black pudding... first time I had it was in Scotland and it taste similar to livermush which is a common dish here in the southern usa. Loved it and i enjoy your vids!!!

I'd clicked away to another tab for a second and wasn't really paying attention to the video, then suddenly I hear "the entire outside world is drenched in urine". Yeah, clicked back pretty quickly after that.

The black pudding looks great and bet it tastes equally impressive. I think I would actually prefer this over real black pudding. I also appreciate that the ingredients used would be relatively easy to source.

Just to make people aware, the normal "Marigold Swiss vegetable bouillon powder" is not vegan because it contains milk powder. Be sure to buy the vegan version, if you are after a 100% vegan recipe :)

I don't see how people could get mad, I absolutely love seeing your food experiments.

As a long-term vegan who used (before) to love black pudding, I watched this with interest - wonder if a) adding chunks of chilled or frozen veg fat b) some sort of iron supplement might be an idea - will have to try those out & see!

You always amaze me with your creativity in cooking. A joy to watch, but probably not attempt this. Thank you for these great videos.

Normally I don't watch your food videos, but this caught my attention. I've never tried black pudding since I'm vegan, so I was curious about what you had to say about this when it came to flavor and texture.

Perfect timing. I just sat down with my breakfast and this video popped up. I love these cooking and food videos.

I'm vegetarian and this looks pretty good. I might try this some day.

Great video! I only eat plants and having a sausagy type dish is always a treat! I don't forage mushrooms, but I have a great farmers' market nearby with lovely mushrooms sometimes. I also often buy marked-down produce, so I'm really happy to have a great use for old mushrooms!

I wonder if adding food grade iron powder to it would help simulate the flavour? Keep up the great content 👍

your cooking videos remind me of my elderly neighbor who would have me over every two weeks to have lunch or early dinner and theyd talk to me about cool stuff like mushroom maturation

one thing that is used to create the illusion of meat in the industry is häm, basically a compound similar to red bloodcells. also I've seen a german website that used liquid iron supplement as an diy replacement for häm.

Kudos to you for making these! I have family in the UK/Scotland and loved my black pudding each morning. Fast forward 10 years and now i'm vegan and I love to cook so i'll be attempting this recipe soon. I can't wait!!! Thanks again

The red berries at the start, what are they? I see them about all the time but assumed they were not edible. What can you do with them?

As a vegan who used to love meat I recommend trying the Richmond vegan Sasuages 👌

If the aim is to create "vegan black pudding", it's not a bad thing if it doesn't taste exactly like black pudding, is it? It is a different thing, after all, and I think that's totally fine. I sometimes cook vegetarian, but I don't try to make it taste exactly like the carnivorous option. I try to make it better instead. Or at least different.

This is so inventive. Love ❤ u Mr Mike.

If you can refine and perfect that recipie, there's good money to be made from your innovation I reckon.

I love this. I'm neither vegan or vegetarian, I just love trying different things. I also love mushrooms. So this is something I will try. I also manage to keep some HP sauce on hand even though I am in the U.S.

Was part of the audio recorded in post? Still sounds good if it was just curious

I absolutely love black pudding! never understood why people don't give it a go. (Unless you're a veggie of course) Best part of a full English in my opinion. 😁

I have already said it, But I would love to see your attempt on a budget Sunday lunch I don’t know if other people would like to see that?

Black mushroom pudding sounds delicious 😋

What are the little brown mushrooms in the corner of your basket?

As much as i really like eating meat, i love seeing stuff like this. I absolutely want to try this.

Did you say "Second *Wurst* same as the first?"

Thank you so much for the inspirational videos and the recipes vegetarians can use in the kitchen! I am a vegetarian and oftentimes I feel stuck cooking same things over and over again.

Would you ever do a foraging tip/tutorial kind of thing? I'd love to get into foraging but I'm not super confident in what to be aware of

Extremely late to the party but I bet a rice paper/summer roll wrapper would make an excellent skin for the pudding. (I am VERY EXCITED to share this recipe with a blood sausage loving friend who lives in a kosher household)

"Why?" Because every good recipe started as an experiment or an accident.

I like that you made this video. I have always been interested in Black Pudding but I'm quite squeamish when it comes to organs and blood in food and this experiment will be able to help me try it but not the squeamishness that has prevented me in the past.

Looked nothing like the black puddings I've had in Scotland, but i would probably prefer your version anyway and more than likely refer to them as mushroom burger. 😎👍

Everybody loves food....just keep them coming.

As the saying goes: "Why does anybody do anything?" the answer is always "Why not?" EDIT: I think that your finished product would cut really well with a wire cutter, like one would use for cheese.

Really enjoying your recent vids.

It occurs to me that tamarind might work well as a flavour enhancer in that.

Videos like this are really the reason why I like Shrimp so much I'm 23 years old, and many people that are my age that I know shy out from just trying new things out, and I don't want to get started on my parents or grandparents Shrimp here is just making his own Recipes for Vegan Black Pudding, not because he wants to be Vegan or something (there is nothing wrong with that btw.), no he is just doing it out of curiosity That's something, even if it seems small, that I really admire in people, that drive to learn or try something new even when it's not necessary
