Scottish Grans Only

Morrisons or your local butcher ?

if you want best quality then it'll need to be from a Scottish butcher & I think they all make it, so you shouldn't have any problem finding some. You could google Lorne sausage & see if any locations near you come up in the search.

It's not so much of a thing here in the North-East, but there are good butchers in Glasgow, and judging by link sausages here, I would think that tiredoldwoman is right about that. I just wanted to put in a word for Stornoway black pudding, which IMO is delicious.

Any local butcher will have square sausage.

I remember being sent out to buy 'a pound of slice' - ie sliced sausage. That was a big family favourite which I enjoyed as much as anyone. Even though I've been veggie for forty years, I can still remember relishing the aroma of the sausage frying.

Definitely make sure you get Charlie Barley's (Stornoway) black pudding.

The winning butcher for square sausage in the Scotland this year was declared as A I Butchers from Culloden. As suggested above if you Google "Scottish square sausage butchers in Glasgow" you will be able to find one near you.

I agree, any decent butcher in Glasgow will sell square sausage and decent black pudding also.

Square sausage is something I really miss along with tablet.

Espee, my mother used this butcher and so do I. I think it has been going for at least fifty years and they still have their own farm.

They used to shrink wrap packages for people going abroad, but I don't know if they still do that.
If you are looking for really good potato scones, the ones from the bakery, a few doors down, are my favourite. (Apart from my own home made ones, of course!)

I meant to say, they do deliver, but I don't know how far. I live six miles away, but they deliver to me.

Talking about square sausage, steak, onion Lorne is even better!

Stornaway black pudding is what I always buy. I want to get a similarly good square sausage. I expect I was put off by being served an inferior product a long time ago.

I had to peek, and Charlie did come to France What is a square sausage (it isn’t 1stApril)? ?‍?

Don’t know where the smiley came from , sorry.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate your recommendations.
I will buy some for myself too so may end up a convert.

Marydoll. England does count as abroad, doesn’t it?

Grant's of Speyside also do an excellent Stornoway-style black pudding. I'm licking my lips at the thought of it, even as I type this...

mokryna, highlanddreams gave the correct name - I should have said Lorne sausage.
It is a wee bit like a burger and part of a traditional Full Scottish Breakfast. Beef or pork, sometimes a mixture of the two are mixed together with seasoning and rusk and packed tightly into a tin like a loaf tin. There is no casing involved. It is removed from the tin and sliced like a loaf then fried, usually with bacon, black pudding, fruit pudding etc. - well it was in the days before we were told that kind of breakfast is not good in terms of cholesterol. It does make a popular filling in a scotch breakfast roll especially with fried onions.

Thank you Esspee. It sounds interesting but never to be found in Manchester?

Espeee, ^Marydoll. England does count as abroad, doesn’t it?

I couldn't possibly comment!

I love it in a Scottish morning buttered roll, with a cup of tea. That was before we were told it wasn't good for us.

That must be why expats usually have a list of things to be brought from home.

Most independent Scottish butchers make good Square sausages. Don't buy from the supermarket unless they are labelled from a Scottish butcher and give their name.

I've got some flat sausage meat in the freezer if that's any help!
