Scottish Lorne Sausages

Wherever you go in Scotland you will come across Scottish Lorne Sausages, or the square or sliced sausage. I have no evidence for saying this, but it is probably one of the most frequently eaten things in the land.

If you are in a Hotel (2* - 5*), a Guest House or Bed'n'Breakfast place, you will be offered a Scottish cooked breakfast, and that will usually include the sliced or Scottish Lorne sausage.

You will find it in Butcher Shops, supermarkets, wee corner shops, cafes and restaurants and at little mobile 'Burger Bars' across the land.

It is nearly always on a breakfast menu, along with bacon, egg, and Tattie Scones, and many Scots will eat it in a bread roll for lunch or maybe serve it with some type of potato and vegetables for dinner.

You just can't escape the Scottish Lorne Sausage. So, although it isn't one of our most famous foods, it IS a very typical food eaten by the locals. So it's worth a try. You might want to also try Scotch Pies or the Forfar Bridies, or a plate of piping hot Stovies, or even some traditional Fish and Chips in Batter

But back to Scottish Lorne Sausages, this is an easy recipe - although once again I know no-one who actually bothers to make it today, as it is so easy to buy in Butchers and Supermarkets.
