whilst in scotland for the first time last year i visited a roadside snackwagon for a sausage bap, after ordering i was asked the question 'square or link?' this confused me greatly,surely a link sausage is a sausage and a square sausage is a sausage burger,so my question is ,is the square sausage just a scottish phenomenon because ive never seen them in england before.?

you can buy these culinary treats in england too (from the freezer shop that sounds like a country). i'm sure the contents of them are one grade down from that of a link, but they taste braw with pepper and broon sauce. also being square they fit in yer piece or roll easier.

they're also much quicker to cook. i suppose it could also be called a sausage burger but i've never heard of these before have you?

Unless you're really into the Scottish "fat-overload" food thing...eg deep-fried Mars Bars...I strongly advise you to grill rather than fry the square - or Lorne - sausage. It's absolutely delicious, as Bob suggests, but you'll find your grill-pan positively awash...you could probably start a supply-contract with BP if you ate it regularly!

(Thanks for the freezer-shop information, B...I didn't know this treat was available to us exiles.)

LORNE, that's the fella - couldn't remember the name today! Cheers QM for that. Also, I had never realised before that you were one of "us".

Not only do Iceland sell them but I buy them regularly from Tesco's freezer section. Me and the Jr Constantines love 'em, especially in a bap/roll/other non-sliced loaf bread product with a fried egg and some brown sauce.

In childhood holidays in Scotland we always used to ask for "Steak Lorne". Is that not the case any more? Mmm, yum.
