Rag pudding is a savoury dish consisting of minced meat and onions wrapped in a suet pastry which is then cooked in a cheesecloth. The dish was invented in the 19th century in the Lancashire mill town of Oldham a centre of England’s cotton industry. 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.
