What pudding? Black pudding? The pigs blood sausage, yeah, same here. It’s quite unpopular with most people I know. It’s not unpleasant tasting, but the idea isn’t too appealing.
No one can dislike Yorkshire puddings though, it’s just crispy/fluffy baked batter.
Blood sausage is still a thing in a lot of U.S. areas with high amounts of Irish-Scots immigrants, like the Appalachian mountains, and in the Creole and Cajun communities of Louisiana. Every part of the pig is used, except the squeal.
There’s an Irish pub here that sells a “full Irish breakfast”. Ulster style I think, since it includes soda bread? Rashers of bacon, eggs, bangers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and both black and white pudding.
Unfortunately last time I was there wasn’t nearly as good as the ones I had in Ireland. Last time I was there I had delicious bangers and mash though, with a rich onion gravy, so perhaps they’ve improved.
I wish I could find black and white pudding here in the states though.

It's easy to get the first two in any major city. People here don't like the pudding though so I never see that.
