Rag pudding is a savoury dish consisting of minced meat and onions wrapped in a suet pastry, which is then cooked in a cheesecloth. [1] [2] [3] Invented in Oldham, the dish is also popular in Bury and Rochdale, and is eaten across the Greater Manchester area. [4] [1] Rag pudding pre-dates ceramic basins and plastic boiling bags in cookery, and so the cotton or muslin rag cloths common in Oldham were used in the dish's preparation during the 19th century. [2] [3] Rag pudding is similar in composition and preparation to steak and kidney pudding, [2] and may be purchased from traditional local butcher's shops in Lancashire. [1]
