Saveloy

degsyhufc · 30-11-2011, 19:06

After they were mentioned in another thread I decided to look up to read more about them.

Quote:

A saveloy is a type of highly seasoned sausage, usually bright red in colour, which is typically available in English fish and chips shops,but more often from pork shops [1] sometimes fried in batter.

The saveloy's taste is similar to that of a frankfurter or red pudding. It is mostly eaten with chips, but occasionally also in a sandwich accompanied with pease pudding, stuffing, mustard and/or "gravy" (ie the brine of the sausage). This is known as a "saveloy dip" in the north east of England, as one half of the bread roll is dipped in gravy, in a similar manner to the French dip sandwich. The chant "Oi Oi Saveloy" is highly popular in the North West of England as well as Kent in the South East of England.

I'm in the North East. I've always only had them for a snack on their own. Can't ever remember buying them from the chippy. Never had one with chips. Never had a french dip style.

Around here (The Potteries) we used have saveloy, chips and either curry sauce or gravy. On a tray and wrapped in newspaper. Curry sauce was my choice, but this is back when chip shop curry sauce was the real-deal, with sultanas and that.

I've had saveloy and chips from the chippy (South London) but never with any kind of sauce.

Same here. I'm from the North East and I can't say I've ever seen them in our chippys?

I love these

You can get them in most chippies in Southend/Leigh-on-sea. My mum used to get them from the butchers to

You can get them from any chippy in the south, dont think ive ever been in one that didnt sell them.

ecco66 · 01-12-2011, 05:31

Indeed, Bananacreampie, I have never known a chippy in the south not to sell saveloys.

First ate saveloy and chips when I came to London in 1974. They are available in every chip shop. Had one the other day after a gap of about 25 years. Brought back memories of sitting on top of Primrose Hill eating sav and chips after the pub looking over the view of London.

Starbeck chippy in Newcastle used to do them. It's on Starbeck Avenue in Sandyford. That said, they did change ownership and I'm not sure they still do them. I always used to get a saveloy at Grainger Market when I was doing my shopping....great for a munch on the way home

I've now moved on to Herta Frankfurters. I usually have a pack in the fridge to snack on. It's mostly because of convenience. In the old days it would have been Saveloys.

I also remember polony and salad cream butties.
