    A guy in front of me: what do you mean I can’t send black pudding to my friend on the other side of the country? I promised him I would send it. It doesn’t matter it’s bank holiday weekend, who cares that blood based perishable product would be in transit for a week and stink to high heaven, I promised!

    That went on for at least 20 minutes. I had queued for a few hours and lost my will to live

      I actually know a way he could have shipped it, but he probably wouldn’t want to pay that much.

      Freeze the black pudding, flash freeze if you have access to a commercial flash freezer. I don’t know what the shops would be called in the UK, but here in the US you’d go to an industrial supply company like Granger, grab a styrofoam cooler as the “box”, grab some packing peanuts as filler, and purchase half a pound of dry ice. Seal that up and the food can be in transit for up to 1.5 weeks without worries.
