Marvin Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Got a story on my news feed to my phone that Aldi are claiming to have invented the Square sausage. Can't be true because I've been eating them for over 40 years. Aldi have barely been around 40 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
been here before Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Slice(d) sausage. Aldis been around since 1946 and had stores in Britain for nearly 30 years. Edited May 16, 2019 by been here before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Aldi haven't claimed to have invented it at all. They're just selling it south of the border. They've called it "Sausedge". It's made of pork. Lorne Sausage is made of beef or beef and pork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmarkus1981 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 My local butcher (in Dunbar) does amazing square sausage, nice and thick with the added deliciousness of a haggis eye. 60p a slice or something. Drooling!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¼½¾ Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 My mum just called it 'sausage meat', which I probably did too before moving to Edinburgh. I now call it 'sliced', so that was picked up here. In Still Game, Winston cooked some 'flat sausage'. Anyone heard it called that elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjack Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Growing up it was always called sliced sausage, my dad is from Gorgie and my mum is from Stenhouse. Never heard the term square sausage until we moved to Gala. Always knew the term Loren sausage but never use it, generally square nowadays.
