White Pudding
White pudding is a type of sausage originating from Ireland, typically made with pork meat, fat, bread, and spices, seasoned with herbs. Unlike black pudding, it does not contain blood, which gives it its characteristic pale color. It can be served as a breakfast item, often alongside other traditional Irish dishes.
