SIR: I refer to the recent article by Bill Jacobs and the remarks about Bolton's "famous" black puddings. May I remind you that the town which has been, for many decades, "famous" for black puddings is, and always will be, Bury. Our puddings are still eaten every market day - Wednesday, Friday and Saturday - by visitors from many areas, including people from abroad, and are still exported.
While maybe agreeing Bolton's are enjoyable, credit must go for the original black puddings to Bury.
Harry Mills, Whitburn Drive, Bury
