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.

We call it sliced sausage. Never buy round though, just square.

Round sliced sausage our butcher calls it. I buy the Malcom Allan ones for dh .

Sliced or Lorne

And now I want a roll on sausage

Square Slice and Roon Slice

Square slice we always called it. Or alternatively, "mouth-burning, rubbery work of the devil".

Square sausage is Lorna Sausage and vice versa. What you describe is flat sausage. I might be the only person in the land that calls it that though.

Lorne sausage, not Lorna sausage 🤣🤣

Lorna sausage

Sliced sausage.

As far from Scotland as could possibly be, but it sounds like 'what I call' a sausage patty. I had an Aunt Patty, very annoying woman, I always wanted to smack her on the head too.

In the name!

I am Scottish myself. I was just wondering what you all called your circular square sausage.

Our butcher makes it and sells it either square or circular.

Slice sausage! Regardless of shape

We call it Lorne in the Highlands

Square slice or square sausage when uncooked. Snarler when cooked with fried onions as they snarl at you as the fat leaks out. Brown sauce and lots of lurpak (other butters are available). Lorne is a trade name and should not be used - bit like saying jacuzzi instead of spa bath. Other finger like sausages are “links” - I take my sausages very seriously!!

I love this thread purely because of the bewilderment it will cause anyone who isn’t Scottish.
“round square sausage” - have we Scots found the answer to the age old mystery of how to square the circle?

Are you talking about oolong?

It's square, sliced sausage - round is a poor imitation.

You get square slice and round slice. But in the butchers where I grew up the round slice was onion slice and that was the food of the Gods. Just like the bakers did a scotch pie with onions in it, an onion pie, and that was superior to a plain old pie. Would still eat everything mentioned here gladly.

Round is a poor imitation

No it isn't. It might have exactly the same ingredients as square sausage but circular square sausage tastes much better.

Square, round, flat, lorne, slice.

Ive not had onion slice in years !

Sliced sausage whatever its shape.
But I would never choose to buy round, it's wrong.

Morton Roll
Square Slice
Fried Egg
Tomato Sauce
And a mug of tea.
Always have square slice never round.

I haven't eaten sausage of any kind for 40 years, so my memory may be failing me here, but in my family (west coast) it was always just called slice.
