Rag Pudding is an old fashioned savoury dish originated in Oldham, popular in Lancashire [1], England. A traditional Rag Pudding broadly consists of minced meat and onions wrapped in a suet pastry which is then boiled or steamed [2].
The term 'Rag Pudding' comes from the way in which it is prepared, i.e., the contents are traditionally wrapped in a cloth rag for cooking. This cooking process was made popular, particularly in Lancashire where the cotton trade flourished, as scraps of cotton cloth were readily available to use as the "Rag". Modern day rag pudding are 'boil in the bag' type.
Rag Puddings are more likely to be found in traditional local butcher's shops rather than supermarkets. They can also be found in some of the more traditional Lancashire Fish and Chip shops.
Common accompaniments to Rag Puddings are Chips, Mushy Peas and Gravy.
There are also vegetarian and sweet versions.
