Talk:Sliced sausage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mmmm, until I moved to Scotland I had never had sliced/lorne sausage, now I cannot get enough of it, a really delicious piece of food
Is it spiced, or is it just ground meat and breadcrumbs?
It sounds similar to the "breakfast sausage" common in the southern US, which is normally made from ground pork spiced with black pepper, sage, and sometimes red pepper.
No, it's nothing like American Breakfast sausage. Although I was born and raised in Scotland, I now live in Arizona, so I know both products intimately. And I'd die for some real sausage! :)
Incidently, the link at the bottom of the main page goes to a site that claims to describe the history of square sausage. That history, I can state with sure personal knowledge, is total nonsense! Square sausage may well have been named after someone called Lorne, but it has been made by the Denny butchers I worked in as a school-kid since 1870, if not earlier. (The old shop accounts were still in the store when I worked there, and the earliest book was dated 1870, and therein, the sales of square sausage is carefully detailed).
when i was studying in Edinburgh, the caterers at restaurants were calling these sausages "Scottish sausage" i think this name should also be added to the article.
- Not a term I've heard, in Edinburgh or elsewhere. Can you cite it? Were they in tourist locations? Mutt Lunker (talk) 22:08, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
