I don't know- some smoked fish comes essentially raw (and there would be quite a bit of smoked fish pre-refrigeration).

To be honest, I was never into black pudding either. It's just up there with the annoying stereotypes of silly voices, rotton teeth and 'kidney pies' (look, they're *steak* and kidney pies, see? And the kidneys are really just what the gravy is made of. And is that any more gross than any sort of sausage? I had a Muslim friend once who thought all Europeans (and European-decended cultures) were freaky with thier eating every last scrap of an animal.)

I've never heard of scrapple, though I'm always bemused by the idea that 'grits' could be an appealing name for a foodstuff. Apparantly it's very nice (sort of the result of a mating between oatmeal and polenta, yes?)
