Few foods are more deeply woven into Scottish culinary tradition than the humble pudding. From the rich, spiced depth of black pudding to the milder, suet-packed white pudding and the sweet, festive warmth of fruit pudding, these are the flavours that have graced Scottish breakfast tables and dinner plates for generations.
At Scottish Store, we source our puddings from trusted Scottish producers who still make them the proper way — using traditional recipes, quality ingredients, and the kind of care that supermarket versions simply can't match. Whether you're building a full Scottish breakfast, planning a Burns Supper, or simply craving a taste of home, you'll find what you need right here.
Black Pudding
A staple of the full Scottish breakfast and a cornerstone of Scottish food culture, black pudding is made from beef blood, oatmeal, and spices packed into a natural casing. The result is a firm, deeply flavoured slice that crisps beautifully in the pan and pairs perfectly with fried egg, bacon, and tattie scones.
Scotland has its own proud black pudding tradition, distinct from its Irish and English counterparts — typically firmer, oatier, and more robustly spiced. Once a food of necessity, it's now celebrated by chefs across the country.
White Pudding
White pudding shares much of its character with black pudding but swaps the blood for extra suet and oatmeal, giving it a paler colour and a gentler, more subtle flavour. It's a staple in the north-east of Scotland in particular, where it's just as likely to appear on a breakfast plate as its darker cousin.
Pan-fry it until golden on the outside and steaming through the middle, and you'll understand exactly why generations of Scots have kept it on the shopping list.
Fruit Pudding
Fruit pudding is the sweeter member of the family — a lightly spiced suet pudding packed with dried fruit, most commonly currants and sultanas. It's a Burns Supper tradition alongside haggis, neeps and tatties, but it's equally at home on a weekend breakfast plate, sliced thick and fried until caramelised at the edges.
Its flavour sits somewhere between a black pudding and a festive pudding — warming, comforting, and unmistakably Scottish.
