Scottish Food in England
A poster on another thread was wondering where they could get proper Scotch pies in England, also where they could get square sausage (Lorne) there as well.

Or do you mean a regular sausage that has been somehow squeezed into the skin a square oblong type deal? |

By square sausage do you mean sausage meat pressed together to make a square patty the perfect size to place between two slices of bread?

Well it depends on your size of sausage, as the way you said it made me picture a massive sausage between two slices of "pan" bread
![]() ![]() As I said I mustn't of described it well. We have been able to get square sausage since I was a kid in the North West of England (it is not rare or anything) probably not a brand you are use to though. It was just an easier way for me to make my own sausage butties when I was young. |

Well if you look at the picture you provided (on the wikipedia page) the sausage meat could fit neatly on that slice of toast, so it would fit neatly between two

I think it depends on the size of bread and sausage, with Warburtons toastie bread, its at least 1 and half on one slice ( if you have the bread flat and lay the sausage on IYKYIM)
I had to google.Yeah you're right, on a Warbies it is about one and a half. We often get this nice square loaf from the bakery though

Its just REALLY annoying that I have a husband that prefers a pan loaf, not plain! |

Sainsbury's have Lorne sausage slices in the freezer section down here (Bmth) now.
Have to say it's not the best I've tasted though - the Iceland square sausage is much better, and a LOT cheaper. The local butcher tried to get haggis and white pudding (the sausage shaped, not the sliced) sent down from Scotland, but it didn't happen for whatever reason. My sister-in-law inherited my mother's handwritten recipe book when my mum passed away, and promptly took mum's recipe for both in to the butcher! Bless him, he's now trying to make them himself! I can't wait for the first batch! My mum was born and brought up in Huntly, Aberdeenshire and while she was so ill, we got together and I got an order sent down from a baker in Huntly. We asked for mutton pies, plain loaves and butteries. They all arrived beautifully packaged, and very quickly, but NEVER has there been such disappointment. The mutton pies were dry and tasteless. The butteries were totally flat and greasy. The plain loaf - well I don't think they had a clue what I was after, because I got an ordinary uncut loaf that had been put through a slicer! I could have bought one of those in Asda. Most of it went in the bin, I have to confess. |

I moved to Scotland 2 years ago after living in England all my life, and trust me the "Scottish" food you get down in England (tinned haggis, square sausage etc) is no where near as good as you get up here. Never even heard of plain loaf til I moved up here. So I wouldn't bother.

Iceland sell frozen square sausages. Thy aren't as nice as proper Scottish ones but they are handy to keep in the freezer for an unhealthy snack. It's the only reason I ever go into an Iceland.

I buy it in blocks and cut the slices myself. It's best grilled so all the fat runs away (and is great for the birds). I like it in what they call morning rolls or bread buns as they are just the right size for one slice. Also good with a fried egg on top.
Red sauce or brown sauce or no sauce at all is the question |

I had to depart the other thread last evening (it was getting late and had an early start today). Lots of ideas for Scottish products and will check them out. I may not like square sausage this time around (when I find them). They were, originally, from a local butcher in the town I was born and brought up in - long gone now I believe,

Our household needs to learn how to properly fry Mars Bars.
Neither my wife, myself, nor my eldest daughter have cracked it. It seemed so simple. |

I only ever buy square sausage from a butcher when I visit scotland - what is sold as Lorne sausage just seems to be sausage meat, whereas 'proper' square sausage has oatmeal (I think) and more pepper - it certainly seems to hold it's shape better.
The one thing you cannot get down south is a dark chocolate caramel wafer - the finest chocolate biscuit in the world. Irn-Bru (the best soft drink in the world) has made it, as have the milk choc caramel wafers |

We have a large Dobbies garden centre nearish to us which seems to sell quite a lot of scottish foods in the deli. My sister in law (from Edinburgh) was quite excited by the bacon!!

My mouth waters at the thought of it - but alas, no chance. I have actually seriously considered a flight from Bournemouth airport to Glasgow, spending a couple of hours just food shopping to fill the freezer, and flying home again! I've never done it, because I never let either of my freezers run low enough
