Obama (Indirectly) Refers to "Eating" Afghanistan as "Pudding" during G-20 Summit Q&A

Black Pudding (Boudin Noir) aka Blood Sausage

And what the American people care about I suspect are the same thing that the British people care about, and that is, are you putting people back to work? Are businesses growing again? Is business -- is credit flowing again? And, you know -- and that's just true with respect to this summit. But when it comes to our Afghanistan policy, the question is going to be, have we made ourselves safer; have we reduced the risks and incidents of terrorism?

And so the proof of the pudding is in the eating. But hopefully, I think at least we've set a tone internationally where people don't -- where they give us the benefit of the doubt. They're still going to have their interests, and we're going to have ours. There are going to be tough negotiations, and sometimes we're going to have to walk away from those negotiations if we can't arrive at a common accord. There are going to be real dangers that can't always be talked through and have to be addressed. But at least we can start with the notion that we're prepared to listen and to work cooperatively with countries around the world.

All right, let me sprinkle in another -- it's got to be an international person. All right, this young lady right there. - Barack Obama. April 2, 2009

Black pudding or blood pudding is a type of sausage made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. It is also called blood sausage (first attested in 1868, perhaps influenced by German Blutwurst). Although "blood sausage" is often labeled as a North American term, it is also found in British English (e.g., in the story "The Name-Day" by Saki). "Blood sausage" is also used as a term for similar blood-based solid foods around the world.

Black pudding is usually served as part of a traditional full breakfast in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador. The further addition of the similar white pudding is an important feature of the traditional Irish and Newfoundland breakfast and is also common in Scotland. Black pudding can be eaten uncooked but is often grilled or boiled in its skin.

Towns noted for their black pudding include Clonakilty, County Cork in Ireland's south west, Bury, Lancashire (now Greater Manchester) in northern England, and Stornoway, Isle of Lewis off the west coast of Scotland.

Black and white pudding, as well as a third variant from Fife—red pudding—are served battered at chip shops in Scotland and England as an alternative to fish and chips.
