Sliced sausage
Encyclopedia : S : SL : SLI : Sliced sausage
Sliced sausage (often known as square sausage, or lorne sausage) is a delicacy most often enjoyed in Scotland. Sausage meat - which may be pork, beef, or a mixture of the two - is set into a square and sliced into pieces generally about 3 inches (8 cm) square by about half-an-inch (1 cm) thick. The sausage is rarely a perfect square given the minced state of the meat, which is often bulked out with other ingredients such as rusk.
However it remains a favourite in Scottish cooked breakfasts, most often eaten in a bread roll.
Naming controversy
Just as the name for soft drink in the USA changes depending on where one is (soda, pop or "coke" being three popular names throughout the country), so is the case of square sausage. The name "sliced sausage" (or "slice") is used in areas such as Inverclyde, while in parts of Glasgow it is merely known as "sausage". Lorne sausage appears to be the default name in the North of Scotland and on the East Coast.
