I was too busy driving across Europe, as is my wont, to notice!
Cheers big ears, I'm happily back in Hungary, swimming pool is [looks out of window] 20 minutes from ready, but I'm working.
Might have mid-morning dip rather than elevenses or even as well as.

Because you get black pudding the traditional English pudding that has a dark appearance after that?
|
|
|
|

Why black pudding will be made only (? as far as I know) from pig blood?
Why isn't this made also from the blood of beef?

It is, sometimes: Did *you* know that Clonakilty black pudding is made from beef, not pork?[^]
It's a "regional thing": pigs needed less space than cows, so the "lower classes" had more access to pork than to beef - and since they needed to eat the whole animal (given that the church and "upper classes" robbed them blind at every opportunity) they found a use for the blood as well as the meat: black pud.
Where they had a supply of cows instead of pigs, they did the same with beef blood.

Why did you close your original post?
It makes all the responses look ... ummm ... odder than normal.

You can't - Protector and above only (and even then, unless you are staff, you have to close each message individually).
But why would you want to? There is nothing unpleasant or offensive here?

I mean: It shows "Message Closed" and I don't have the power to close a message.
[Edit]
If you look on the list "Discussions" on the right side (CP Home), it also does not appear there. So it is really closed and not edited by me.

@Chris-Maunder
Chris, can you reopen this one please?
No idea how or why it got closed to start with ...

That usually only happens when people vote it as spam. I just tried editing it and I can see the original text, but when I try updating, it says "This message is unavailable - it may have been deleted". Most odd.

I got the same thing when I tried.
I assume that it's a gremlin in the system - that was nowhere near spam or abuse. Except possibly to the Militant Wing of Vegans Anonymous.

Thanks Chris - it was all looking a bit odd without the start!

I thought it got closed because "pigs matter".

Why have you closed the original question? It makes the thread more confusing.

What's the poly count of a strange question, that's what I'd like to know ...

Depends on the number of parrots the question involves.
