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?

Nothing like a hotdog or normal sausage. They are steamed or boiled.
Lovely with some salt and vinegar on! The meat is peppery, a little spicy. The casing is tougher than a normal sausage.

@Drogonssmile i can relate to your DH, ive never tried one but I’m absolutely fascinated, I want to go to London so bad but mostly to have a saveloy

Saveloy - I've not eaten a bag of dead earthworms myself but I am reliably informed they taste very similar.
Sausage - proper butcher's sausages are lovely, those from Happy Eater and the like, well see Saveloy above.

Do you eat that plastic on the outside?

No, you peel it off!

Genius of a question. Just eat the thing.

Had my first one in years when we went to seaside last month.

Was bitterly disappointed. Couldn't finish it, think it was overcooked?

• I should have had fish like everyone else.

If anyone commenting/browsing is from the Tameside area please comment where I will find a saveloy x

Dickson's in the north east. They all do a saveloy dip. Mustard and pease pudding in a bun dipped in gravy if you want.

They're surprisingly nice to eat but lie like a rock in my stomach for hours so don't have them often.

But like a mattesons smoked sausage but the skin is more plastic, and a bit more peppery. Used to love them, can't eat them now.

I hate that, when you suddenly can’t eat foods you once loved, I loved McDonald’s bigmacs I ate them about 4 times a week when I was pregnant now the smell makes me vomit

Sadly I'm NW and NE is too far to go for a sausage. Lol. Next time I'm in that area or down south I'll make sure to seek one out.

@amusedtodeath1 shall we do a coach trip 🤣🤣

My local chippy doesn't do saveloys. I may have to venture across town to get one. I really fancy one now !

Like a really girthy frankfurter wearing a tight condom

You are v unreasonable. Now craving saveloy and chips can't remember the last time I had one. A slightly spicy hotdog sausage x

And no you leave the outside on.

I am in Yorkshire and normally get them from Sainsburys deli counter ( currently closed)

@QuestionableMouse

No, you peel it off!

I don't I always have a savaloy and cod roe from the chip shop

You leave the skin on, biting through it is the best bit

@AintOverUntilTheCatLadySings- yum 🤢

Maine road chippy sell them!! You can order of just eat, might not be piping hot by the time it arrives at yours but it's better than nothing 👍. I find them strange, it's got the texture of pate.

@userxx I fucking love you for that x

@graceeellixo From one northern bird to another, glad to be of service 😏. I hope it's everything you dreamed of 🤞
