To ask what does a saveloy taste like?

[graceeellixo]

I’m fascinated by them, how do you eat them, what do they taste of and what’s the difference between a saveloy and a chippy sausage?

The texture is a bit more solid like a hotdog. The taste is different but difficult to explain. If you ever ate pologny sausage it's a bit like that but warm.

Awful and I do eat meat.
Avoid them and just have the chips!

They are a bit of a dirty vice for me to be honest and I rarely eat any kind of sausage
They are quite a paste like texture with a hint of spice - I really love the snap of the skin as you bite into them. I try not to think about what’s in them . Haven’t had one for ages as I can only get them from the deli counter at Sainsbos which has been closed due to Covid

Umm it tastes a bit like a frankfurter I suppose. I would just eat them with chips. (Not that I do) used to like them as a child. They taste quite artificial I suppose. A chippy sausage is just a normal sausage fried isnt it?

Microvaved grimness

Why would you ask when it's so easy to sample one?

Buy one and taste it! Personally, I don’t like them, but, come on, you’ll never know until you taste one.

They are at their very best as a Saveloy Dip. Well dipped, with mustard, pease pudding and stuffing.

Just buy one and find out

Much greasier than a normal sausage, odd texture and flavour. Actively unpleasant imo.

All kinds of wrong, but I definitely liked them when I was younger now I think about the eyelids and toenails they are definitely made from. PP was accurate in that is a slightly denser, pasty textured, thick skinned frankfurter with spices. Should definitely be eaten with boiled potatoes and pease pudding not chips though

They shouldn't be greasy? They're microwaved boiled/steamed

Kind of like a denser, smokey hotdog with a more firm skin. I always feel like the should really be peeled !

Kinda spiced and I love the snappy skin. You eat one with chips far to quickly (so in reality you need 2) and without thinking about its contents.

Put it this way, saveloys are not a thing where I come from but my in-laws only buy one from the chippy for the dog. I see them stewing in hot water for hours in chippy warmers and feel 🤢.

Bad life choices.

This is a great thread 😂 proper cheered me up for some weird reason. People discussing saveloys on the internet

Like hot dogs.

Where would you buy a saveloy in the North though, I've never seen any?

Mmm a saveloy dip 😋

Most small butchers sell them.

Eat them cold, in a stottie, with plenty of butter. I also always peel them. (Not that I eat them much now)

Sorry I should have added didnt know people would find fault in a thread about a sausage

I live in the north west and can’t find one in my chippies. (Believe me I have tried)

@amusedtodeath1 South Shields. Dickson's butchers.

Like plastic! But just buy one and try it as taste varies person to person.

I live in the north west and I have never in my life seen a saveloy. My DH lived in London for ten years and curses the north's lack of saveloys.
