Important Question for Scots MNetters

[TheMustressMhor]

What is the correct term for circular square sausage?

Also - what difference does the shape of it make?

I prefer the circular kind although the rectangular kind is acceptable, too.

On the east coast it’s called Lorne, and it’s also Scottish, not Scots 😉

Ah - but the shape distinction is what I am asking.

Nobody seems to call it round sausage.

Eh what’s a circular square sausage?

Square ones are Lorne and normal other sausages are link

I live on the West Coast and our butcher makes square sausage. He also makes it circular. It is the same recipe though.

"Scots" is interchangeable with "Scottish", according to the Free Dictionary.

It is Scotch that is wrong, not Scots I think.

On the east coast we always call it Lorne sausage regardless of shape.

Round sausage as opposed to a link sausage

Scots is fine, Scotch is bloody not fine!

Square sausage can also be called Glasgow (or Glesga as my colleague calls it) sausage. Maybe that would be helpful for the circular sort?

Lorne

I'd call it square sausage whatever the shape.

Don't think i've ever seen flat round ones mind you.

Lorne or square. I've never seen it in a circular shape!

Square sausage? Sliced sausage? That's all I call it (I know people call it Lorne but not here - East coast). And I've never seen a round square sausage

We call square sliced sausage Lorne
We call round sliced sausage Slice

Roon!

We call it ‘slice’ so round could be calked slice sausage and would fit in a roll better.

Is the circular one not pork rather than steak/beef?

Round slice - pork
Square/Lorne sausage - steak or beef

Horrible things, no matter what their shape, flat sausage or lorne?

Yummy in a roll with fried potato scone

Square sausage
Lorne sausage
Sliced sausage

All are common names but as for your specific enquiry the round one are indeed a rarer breed but I'd still probably call them one of the the 2nd two.

Oh and scots or a scot is ok scotch or scotty is never ok but I don't speak for all of Scottish society!

Slice sausage anyway here so it can be any shape it likes.

Sliced. Not slice sorry

Aberdonian here, and most of us call it Lorne Sausage.

We most definitely are not Scotch though Scots or Scottish is fine

Flat sausage

Scots is fine, Scotch is bloody not fine!

Unless it's a single malt
