Not for dessert!
It's great that you have this recipe for traditional north of England black pudding, however you've marked it "course: puddings and custards" - it's a savoury sausage & definitely not a dessert! We may eat some strange things in England, but not pig's blood for pudding! :-)
Also, the photo looks like some sort of custard or caramel. Black pudding looks like sausage, and it is black in colour.
