Look I try to eat vegan and if I find a good replacement I thoroughly enjoy and promote it (there’s some extremely good vegan foie), but sadly all the replacements of black pudding or morcilla I’ve tried have been a disappointment.
Also, blood is usually a byproduct of the meat industry so the animal didn’t die for that specific ingredient, which in my logic makes it one of the least “evil” non vegetarian products.
Anyway, please do share your bean based replacement if you want, it’s probably delicious.
But I cut a few corners — because it didn’t need to be a sausage as I was eating it at home, I cooked stuff a bit longer to reduce the moisture content, made it into a dough-type thing, and fried it up in rounds.
I don’t disagree — I think offal and blood products are certainly at the better end of things, and if I were to eat meat I’d definitely practice nose-to-tail.

Also I’ve made this and it was excellent: https://veganbellyful.wordpress.com/2013/01/01/pate-de-campagne/
I added some redcurrant jelly as it was lacking depth and I felt a bit of sweetness would help, plus I associate it with chicken from childhood.
