About the dish

Lorne sausage is a Scottish favorite made with a combination of ground beef, rusk, and various spices such as nutmeg, cilantro, and ground black pepper. However, it is technically not a sausage – the combination is tightly packed in a rectangular tin and left to set in the refrigerator. It is then sliced into square pieces which are fried or grilled. Although the exact origins of lorne sausage are still murky, it is believed that the dish was named after the region of Lorne in Argyll. Nowadays, the sausage is incorporated into sandwiches or served as a part of the Scottish version of the full breakfast.
