In an effort to upgrade the pudding's image, one of its most effective manufacturers has actually done the unimaginable - and produced a vegetarian version. It is served by chef Simon Rimmer in his vegetarian dining establishment and is authorized by The Vegetarian Society. Vegetarian black pudding wased initially established in 2007, by replacing the fat and blood with beetroot. This provides it a lower fat material (3 % fat) than a basic black pudding. The pioneering vegetarian black pudding was made with a whey powder, which was later on eliminated to make a vegan item.
