Happy St Andrew's Day to all my fellow Scots, wherever you may be in the world right now. And the same to all non-Scots reading this. Hae a pure dead brilliant day.
Not square, but then neither is sliced bread which is where this belongs, between two slices of council issue bread with spreadable butter, not in a roll.
Hi Gareth, I'm Scottish and I live in Scotland and I've tried square sausage from all sources from freezer shops, supermarkets and local butchers. Generally the ones in plastic bags are rubbish I wouldn't give them to my dog. Supermarket prepacked sausages are better but still rubbish, I've tried Fraser's not great. Butchers are better, my local butcher used to make excellent steak slice sausages but he has retired and the quality has gone down hill. I now make my own it's not hard and they are much better and cheaper. Well done Gareth love watching your videos, keep up the good work.
What happened eh? I remember back in the late seventies and eighties and they were good. I also remember my dad going to the butcher every Saturday and he’d buy the leftover sausage meat,a mix of beef and pork and he used to make patties for us. It’s so sad. Why change and mess with something that ain’t broken 😢
Funny you doing this today. I am trying Lorne sausage from a new company. The company offers many British style foods, and run by some expats from England. They also do bap style rolls, so that is dinner this evening with HP sauce of course. Usually get it from a Scottish butcher in Florida or one in New Jersey. I tried to donate to Movember for a cousin in England but it didn’t go through. Cheers mate on your success.
I've lived in Glasgow all my life and lorne is a sausage we always go to. Put straight in a frying pan, no oil and on the lowest gas heat and just leave it to slow cook. It cooks lovely and soft and tasty. If you want to try a decent lorne then try an online butcher from Scotland and you won't go wrong. Supermarket lorne can be hit and miss.
After having done a little previous research into Lorne sausage I think that the reason that the taste of the meat that you’re eating isn’t quite what you expected is because a proper Lorne sausage should have a small proportion of fatty pork mince included so that the fat cooks out of the product and forms a nicer tasting fond in the pan that is then picked up by the beef. If I might suggest if you try using a lump of lard melted down to cook the remaining pieces of the Lorne sausage in you might find that it changes the taste for you. My research led me to believe that a mixture of beefsteak mince and minced pork shoulder in a proportion of 80% /20% beef/pork gives you a nice taste and texture, which depending upon how much lard you use to cook in should be enough for the tastes to reach a more flavourful result.
Called square slice in Scotland your right butchers square slice a lot better in McGee's crispy roll in butter broon sauce.happy Saint Andrew's Day.🏴.
I'm sure many true Scots will agree the only true Square Sausage is the Local Butcher home made. The taste and texture is 100% better than the Supermarket compressed meat paste type as in this clip
Genuinely Disheartened 😢💯😳😭 Because I’ve been waiting for them to appear in Aldi nationwide for years,to hear they’re not that pleasant is a gutter . As always,totally thankful to you for taking the time to review these
Many years ago i used to get mine from Littlewoods. It came like a sliced loaf, 14 slices i think. It was never fantastic, but it was so so cheap!! As you say, quite edible.
I used to get it brought down to Sunderland by my partners family with black pudding white pudding and fruit pudding along with plain bread ideal for a weekend brekkie for the whole family. If i see it i get it from Iceland now.
I loved square sausage when I was working on Shetland, I didn't realise it was beef but I knew it was on the red side of the traffic light system from how nice it tastes 😂
Roll with square and a tattie scone is a taste from the old country the thought of which brings a tear to my eye. I always stock up when I'm over visiting family. Thanks for prompting the reminiscence Gaz!
Being Scottish can't beat a bit of Lorne (or square) sausage...a tip though is always go for "steak lorne" much more flavour and less fatty tasting! Aldi do another brand, certainly in scottish stores, McCaulay's and the steak version is made with 69% beef flank steak and it's very tasty! Try that if you can.
hi Gareth, dont think Ive ever seen you with Bramwell's Brown Sauce from Aldi, I'm a bit like you liking brown sauce on stuff ( usually corned beef or sausage ! ) I much prefer Bramwells to Daddies/HP/Chop and as bonus it's 2/3 of the cost of the brands
Beef Connective tissue = Tendons , Ligaments, and Silver skin. It's not bad for people , rich in Amino acids. Its a lump of pick and mix . god know's what they throw in it , maybe the Badger is giving the funny flavour. Daddies sort out everything 😁
I like lorne sausage but its not always easy to get down south. What i did find this week in Aldi were Maple and Bacon Sausages (New}. Quite tasty wih a bit of a smokey flavour, not too herby ore spicy. Went down well for brekkie with all the usual fry up stuff.
Hi Gareth, I love the Lorne sausage from Iceland, It's nice stacked as a burger with chesse and a 1/4 pounder beef burger🤤😋 Good to see you have done well for Movember. Happy St Andrews day to our Celtic brothers in Scotland. As always great video Take care
It’s edible, yes….but so is Chappie and I wouldn’t eat that either. You’d have been better off with two nice eggs, full of nutrients and no connective give tissue. Good on you for giving it a fair appraisal Gareth. You are a trooper! Have a lovely weekend.😊
It's not easy to get the good quality Lorne sausage down here, all the mainstream supermarket ones are not that great. Halls used to be decent but haven't been in years and most recently they gone even more downhill. Traditional Lorne Sausage is made with pork mince, beef mince, butcher's rusk and spices and is easy to make yourself so well worth a go. When home in Scotland a couple of month's ago I did get a chance to try some steak Lorne and that was excellent, really tasty and there's a few Scottish butchers who sell online to the rest of the UK so may give them a go sometime.
Iceland used to do some in a bag… think it was only about £1 or so for about 8-10 slices. Was a bit thinner than that tho. Don’t know if they still do it.
The beef content is normal for a supermarket lorne sausage (kinda). However, if aldi stocks them you should try steak lorne as they typically have a much higher beef content, or better yet go for a butcher's lorne, even the normal ones typically have twice the beef content. Anyhoo should you manage to get a decent lorne, I recommend having a well fired breakfast roll with lorne, bacon and fried egg. Some like a tattie scone in it but I opt out of that personally (I'm on a diet! :P lol)
Square slice is much better ( and more expensive ) from local butcher shops. Local newsagents in Scotland are a good source of fine butchers’ sausage, they might also sell black pudding and rolls so were very popular on a Saturday or Sunday morning for a quick breakfast when getting the morning paper back in the day. I’m pretty sure the “Frasers “ is an Aldi own make brand.
Must admit I save a fortune at my local Aldi, since they never in stock what I’m after… Last night I dropped by after work to try find those Herb Onion sausages you reviewed recently. An ‘operative’ pointed to the empty shelf “Don’t Av any mate”. Sigh ! Never mind. Perhaps some Strawberry’s…. Found a tired looking Punnet with ‘Do not disturb’ written over it. Racking my brains, didn’t want a wasted trip. Did I want any PPE equipment ? No. Threw in the towel. Then almost on closing time nearly got mowed down by a pensioner with an ‘out of gauge load’ in the express lane. Suppose there’s always another time…
Tongmaster, do a good seasoning mix if you fancy making your own 👍 Turn your sausages regularly gives them a better cook than flipping once as well. Had a crispy roll and slice, tattie scone, and egg this morning. HP, on it of course 😂
I might have to give these a try myself, although judging by the Gareth face test, I shouldn't get my hopes up. I wonder if the "beef connective tissue" is tendons and whatnot, or is it lips and anoos? Mmmm.
Not had Lorne sausages for yonkers but will admit the only way I ate them was like you. Slapped between two slices of well buttered bread and brown sauce. :)
For me, only a proper butchers pork link will do either Cumberland or Lincolnshires. Any packaged sausage just doesn't seem up to par really. Would love to hear of any good ones. The Lorn always seems dry to me.
Eggs are the healthiest food you can have fried or not. No fat just protein. I would have put that pack down as soon as I seen the ingredients. Don't like the idea of connective tissue. At least when you buy sausage they don't put that on the packet 🤔💚 8:10 💛❤️
I was hoping they'd be nice but somehow I knew they wouldn't with the meat percentage being so low but my mum had a Scottish shop in Nottingham on the 80s and we had fresh proper Scottish food all the time try clootie dumpling
Happy St Andrew's Day to all my fellow Scots, wherever you may be in the world right now. And the same to all non-Scots reading this. Hae a pure dead brilliant day.
It's andy to know it's today, it's scot to be said!
brillyant surely?
Good old Scottish square slice. Best in a roll with brown sauce.
Not square, but then neither is sliced bread which is where this belongs, between two slices of council issue bread with spreadable butter, not in a roll.
That's not proper Scottish square sausage, should be steak square slice.
@@X22GJP Nah, has to be a roll. It's a roll and sausage. Only use bread if your newsagents ran out of rolls.
do well.
best if it is a burnt roll

100% from the Butchers is the best way. Can say that for standard sausage as well as Lorne. Frozen stuff just doesn't hit the spot.
I've lived in Glasgow all my life and lorne is a sausage we always go to. Put straight in a frying pan, no oil and on the lowest gas heat and just leave it to slow cook. It cooks lovely and soft and tasty. If you want to try a decent lorne then try an online butcher from Scotland and you won't go wrong. Supermarket lorne can be hit and miss.
I'm born and bred in London my wife is Scottish, always look forward to a roll and sausage when i'm up there.

Gaz also said he’s tried Lorna from Farmfoods………….pink lint and not the real thing.😂😂
Yeah, you want to be paying double that for decent square sausage.
Always like watching Garth's Sausage!😮
@@GoldArtAI4K Filth 🤣
Who’s Garth?
@@Allbluethings He’s Wayne’s best friend in Wayne’s World 🤣
You enjoy that nearly as much as starmer likes smoking sausages.
He’s only Happy when he’s got some Meat in his Gob 🤔😂
Genuinely Disheartened 😢💯😳😭

Lorne and butcher sausage are not the same thing. Butcher mostly make their own square slice and Lorne is processed.
@@anndenovan9026 Nah, butchers in Scotland make their own lorne sausage with variations in the meat and spices, etc they put in.
Try them first,I have and I thought they were nice.Just cos Gareth doesn’t like them doesn’t mean you won’t 👍🏼
Many years ago i used to get mine from Littlewoods. It came like a sliced loaf, 14 slices i think.

Tried these once and once was enough. Brave man trying these for us Gareth. Take care love the channel 👍
Thanks 👍
Sorry they were not to good, but this is my birthday treat, am 62 today. Brilliant video as usual. Thanks for your hard work
Happy birthday!
You're on 62 once!
Happy Birthday, Dale! I'm 78, though not today. Got to wait 7 months to 79.
@SuperLittleTyke Thanks very much
I loved square sausage when I was working on Shetland, I didn't realise it was beef but I knew it was on the red side of the traffic light system from how nice it tastes 😂
Can’t be worse than the nations favourite sausage ‘Richmond’
@nickreestearsofaclown4661 Richmond Sausages nooooooooo
Would thankyou for them lol

Once had square sausage with Italian seasoning. The best square sausage I've ever had.
Not to be confused with "lawn sausages". 🐶
🤣
@@darrenwilliams118 😂😂nice one
Funny!
😮
😂
The beef connective tissue part part put me off so I'll give that miss but thanks a lot 😊
Beef Connective tissue = Tendons , Ligaments, and Silver skin. It's not bad for people , rich in Amino acids. Its a lump of pick and mix . god know's what they throw in it , maybe the Badger is giving the funny flavour. Daddies sort out everything 😁
The ones in Farmfood are good. Farmfood is a Scotish Company I think.
I used to cook square sausage all the time when i was younger, may be one of the reasons i'm overweight lol
Unexciting square sausage . Still worth a view . Thanks for advice . Best wishes .😊😊😊
"its edible" that should be on the pack
I like lorne sausage but its not always easy to get down south.
What i did find this week in Aldi were Maple and Bacon Sausages (New}. Quite tasty wih a bit of a smokey flavour, not too herby ore spicy. Went down well for brekkie with all the usual fry up stuff.
I like them, make a great sandwich
Gareth you can get steak lorne which is much better.
Think that is what I had.
Hi Gareth, I love the Lorne sausage from Iceland, It's nice stacked as a burger with chesse and a 1/4 pounder beef burger🤤😋 Good to see you have done well for Movember.
Happy St Andrews day to our Celtic brothers in Scotland.
As always great video Take care
luvem and so does the dug. proper beef mince
I think I'll be giving it a miss Gareth, thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜
I like to make scotch eggs with Lorne sausage. Best ever. 😊
Just pop a couple of bangers in the fry pan and make a sausage sarny..So easy.
Very much depends where you buy them ❤🏴🏴
It’s edible, yes….but so is Chappie and I wouldn’t eat that either.
You’d have been better off with two nice eggs, full of nutrients
and no connective give tissue.
Good on you for giving it a fair appraisal Gareth.
You are a trooper!
Have a lovely weekend.😊

Might give these ago, I think an egg is a must though!
Brilliant video Gaz will deffo grab some
I'm from Scotland. I love steak slice (Lorne sausage), but it must come from the butchers
Egg burgers, steady on - the memories flooding back 😮
Iceland used to do some in a bag… think it was only about £1 or so for about 8-10 slices. Was a bit thinner than that tho. Don’t know if they still do it.
Gaz your jaw looks well healed now.❤
Ears nose n ringpieces
Mate
😂😂
Don't forget beaks and toenails😂
And anything else they would normally put in the bin and plenty rusk and fat.

Corner sausage should only be eaten on a roll with either brown sauce or tomato sauce
Best stewed with onions and boiled potatoes
Nice sausage but the Steak Lorne is best .... More taste 😊
It's the original
Butchers square mate 100% better than processed shite

"MUM, Gareth's been cooking again"!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being from scotland you struggle to get slice that tastes amazing, butchers is prob the best bet.
Once again, you took one for the team. Great work, and thank you. Cheers Pat in New Jersey
I had not heard of beef sausage you lorne something new every day!
Lorne sausage is sort of an answer to Spam but needs cooking. In this instance I think I would choose the Spam.
Cheers Gareth.
Yasss theres the look of garethpointment
Happy St Andrews Day😊 Square Sausage is always better from the butchers
You've definetly done Bells Scotch Pies, but AFAIK you haven't tried the Bells Chilli Scotch Pies from Farmfoods.
If they are selling lorne sausage they really need to be selling the Scottish morning rolls to go with it.
Thanks for giving that one ago Gareth think I'll give it a miss 😢.All the very best Tim 😊
Is that per slice or the packet gaz
im in wales now, def trying those
❤ oh dear Gareth,never mind,hope you sleep ok tonight xx
Oooooh defo making a trip for that.
Och aye the noo Gareth. Have not tried this .👍
You can't beat the pig when it comes to sausages.
Best of buying some mince and making your own from scratch. You could do quite a few and freeze some for later. Good honest vid, nice one mate.
When you was eating the Lorne beef sandwich I thought you was going to your fingers off!
Keep up the work 😎👍
Tongmaster, do a good seasoning mix if you fancy making your own 👍
Turn your sausages regularly gives them a better cook than flipping once as well.
Had a crispy roll and slice, tattie scone, and egg this morning. HP, on it of course 😂

Add a sliced tomato? maybe heinz sandwich spread. HP Sauce is max.
Square sausage 👌
Looked lush Gareth x I’m half Scottish🏴🏴🏴🏴 happy St Andrews day Best wishes from a 🥶🥶🥶🏴🏴🏴🏴
I didn’t even realise that it’s made from beef it’s just flavourless the ones I’ve tried over the years
Aw I feel for you, there’s nothing worse than being excited for a snack out the frying pan and it disappoints 😢😄
The audible gristle
Those patties remind me of White Castle burgers tbh!
LA Beast content!
Not had Lorne sausages for yonkers but will admit the only way I ate them was like you. Slapped between two slices of well buttered bread and brown sauce. :)
Great video 👍
Cheers Gaz: Looked good, but I could tell within a few seconds you weren't enjoying it. That's good enough for me to give it a miss.
RELEASE THE SAUSAGES...👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing 👍 you taking the hair off, too? I thought you'd keep the face hair as it's cold 🥶
They do an Italian lorne sausage sometimes and it's far better. Double the meat content too. Think they might be macauleys brand.
For me, only a proper butchers pork link will do either Cumberland or Lincolnshires. Any packaged sausage just doesn't seem up to par really. Would love to hear of any good ones. The Lorn always seems dry to me.
Thanks for trying these so I don’t have too, deep fried mars bar soon? 😂

Ears nose n eye lids 🤢Great review & lam glad you tried it,so I don’t have to 🤪Thanks Gareth 🤪👍
Lorne sausage can be brilliant but it depends who's made it...
Good honest review it's not sausage
you cant resist a second bite gareth can you!!!
Hi Garth, always better from a good butcher me personally would not buy from a supermarket. hope your doing well with giving up the booze.
Looks ok in the package , £1.35 seems a bargain , let's see what Gareth thinks ,it's not going to be top quality at that price , it's a no no 🙌
Sleepless night tonight 😂
