Drisheen
Encyclopedia : D : DR : DRI : Drisheen
Drisheen is an Irish black pudding, made from a mixture of pig's or sheep's blood, milk, salt, fat and breadcrumbs and cooked as a sausage using the main intestine of an animal (typically a pig or sheep) as the sausage skin. The sausage may be flavoured with herbs, such as Tansy.
In Cork and Limerick, it is often paired with tripe. In Limerick the dish is known as "Packet & Tripe".
Drisheen is mentioned in James Joyce's "Ulysses" and "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man".
