Sausages: square or link?
DDT did a job on me

JayzusB.Christ

I've never seen square sausages in my life.  Some mad CalHab thing, I believe.  Mind you, it would make the frying process easier.

Bigger question Red or brown sauce?

I've had this argument many times, but THAT ISN'T A SAUSAGE! It's a square of sausage-meat. If it ain't in a skin, it ain't a sausage!

Proudhuff

so what about sausage rolls?




eh? :-X

Square sausages are heretical, but rhomboid sausages are blasphemy!

A sausage roll is a pastry confection filled with sausage meat. It is not a sausage.




You know when you keep saying a word and it starts to sound weird? same aplies to typing apparently - I just had to triple check the spelling of sausage.

Denial of the rights of Lorne to be considered a sausage is typical of the prevailing cased-sausage outlook.

Rise up, fellow sausages, against the cis-age hierarchy!

An Aberdonian friend brought some lornes back with him after a visit home. It was the most horrifying and terrible thing ever visisited upon the north of Ireland by a scotsman.
You may quote me on that.

I will respect Lorne as an ethnic delicacy, and another great contender for "ways to serve sausage-meat" but, and I hate to be pedantic on this point, it's NOT A FUCKING SAUSAGE!

In the ineterests of fairness, Miriam-Webster let me down with their second definition, but they're Americans so we can't take their word when it comes to lexicography can we?

This is clearly wrong. Even Judge Dredd, alerted by the shape and construction but without any pork, beef, or herbs, knew one when he saw one:

I find that in these moments of calm and prosperity when there's nothing important happening in the world, we can take the time to address these important issues.
