Black Pudding Won Ton

Location: Cradley Heath

“Our food is a form of memory. There is the industrial basis to it, in that it couldn’t be fancy, because there wasn’t a lot of it and what we did have had to be high in fat, and high in the things that would keep men going. It needed to be easy to prepare, keep well and not be too expensive. There is a pride in our food, evident now in the food of places like Ma Padoes with black country offerings such as black pudding won ton and cheese and onion cobs. Our food is unassuming and rough around the edges – a lot like the Black Country.”
