Endives among themselves

Peel and dice the potatoes and boil in salted water. In the meantime, trim and wash the endive and cut into strips about 2 cm wide. Drain well after slicing. Peel the onion, finely dice it, and place it in a large salad bowl. Make a rich dressing from vinegar, pepper, salt, sugar, and oil and add it to the onions. Add the drained lettuce to the bowl. Dice the bacon and, just before the potatoes are cooked, fry it in a pan until crispy. Drain the potatoes and add it to the salad along with the bacon. Slice the black pudding and fry in a pan with fat until crispy. Toss the salad well and serve warm with the black pudding (separately). Tip: This is an old original Mülheim recipe – if you don’t like black pudding, you can also serve it with meatballs or fresh bratwurst.
