thanks Sandra - but I don't think it's one of these as you only get one (unidad) on your plate - a bit tacaño no?

Treats


Explanation:
Blood Sausage Treats

As Noni indicates, without further context ...

I interpret the item to be some kind of special, probably small, presentation of morcilla. Breaded? With a sweet sauce? Who knows, and my answer is sufficiently ambiguous to cover a lot of territory.

agree  Noni Gilbert Riley: Black Pudding treats for UK English! Good idea. Or Black Pudding Lozenges if we only knew what it looked like...

  -> Thanks, Noni. I like the sound of Black Pudding better than Blood Sausage. ;-> And perhaps Treats sounds more appetising than Lozenges...

black pudding canapes/black pudding bon-bon


Explanation:
They are obviously small so canape for a more general/ less risky translation. Also black pudding bon-bon does seem to incorporate the idea of sweets.

agree  Noni Gilbert Riley: These are excellent suggestions! And I think the latter wd describe well Sandra´s magnificent link above.
38 mins
  -> Thanks Noni, it was just a guess but bon-bons seems to fit quite well.

agree  Rachel Fell: bon-bons (or as one word) but morcilla, as black pudding is either specif. UK or is used as a generic term http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pudding - yes, explanation of morcilla if nec.
3 hrs
  -> Thanks Rachel, you are right.. 'morcilla (Spanish black pudding)', tastier than the UK version.

blood sausage bites


Explanation:
I worked in restaurants for a couple of years, here in US, and also I like to go out to Argentinian and Spanish restaurants as a customer, and morcilla is called a blood sausage. I will add bites to let people know that we are talking about caramelos=small.

(small) black pudding pancake/crepe- black pudding pancake bite/canape


Explanation:
The recipe is quite clear, it is not a sweet, it is a starter, though it may be combined with apple or others as matching ingredients, apart from it, for a contrast.
It is basically a morcilla-black pudding in a pancake.

Third paragraph after "no solo pescado" in this page:

I haven't heard of an official translation, only seen it kept in spanish with an explanation in english. But this is the english equivalent as far as I can think.
