Lorne sausage

Sliced sausage, often known as "square sausage" is a delicacy most often enjoyed in Scotland. Sausage meat - a mixture of pork and beef - is set into a square and sliced into pieces generally 3 inches square by about half-an-inch thick. The sausage is rarely a perfect square given the minced state of the meat.

Sliced sausage is a greasy food endemic of the meat-eating culture in Scotland which also gives rise to pies, haggis and ultimately heart disease.

However it remains a favourite in Scottish cooked breakfasts, most often eaten in a bread roll.
