Black Pudding with Quinces / Bloedworst met kweepeer

This was a very small meal, and it was a bit boring as it was, though I think that was mainly due to the flat tasting black pudding. It also had a crust of breadcrumbs that was slightly weird (and not very crusty, by the way), and a vinaigrette that felt pretty strange.

We ate it again the next day; this time without crust and without grilling (just frying), as well as without the vinaigrette. It immediately tasted a lot more interesting - if you had told me that it was a different black pudding, I wouldn't have bashed an eye. DH thought it was too heavy, and that the sweetness of the quinces didn't help that at all - he much rather would have had something slightly sour (kind of ironic that we skipped the vinaigrette). In contrast, I thought the flavour of the quinces complemented the black pudding very positively. We ended up debating whether making two fruit purées (quince and sour apple) would be a solomonic solution.

Once you've made the fruit purée (or opened a glass of apple sauce) it's a very quick dinner.

It makes for a very (very) light meal. Serve with a salad, and preferably also home fries.
