A WEMYSS Bay butcher is calling on food lovers to join in the celebrations on the first ever National Black Pudding Day next week.
Monday has been earmarked by Scottish Craft Butchers to acknowledge the traditional delicacy.
Nigel Ovens of McCaskie’s Butchers and Café, who is currently Scotland’s Black Pudding Champion, is leading the national call.
He said: “Black pudding is one of the most important butchers’ traditional staples in Scotland and people should be proud of this heritage food and celebrate it in style.
“As with haggis, every butcher has their own recipe for black pudding, and every country has its own specific version.
“Black pudding is now enjoying superfood status and we should be shouting about it from the rooftops.
“A national day of recognition will bring butchers and the public together in a celebration of this food hero.”
