Heard is suppose to be a sausage but looks more like a bondage toy, do people eat it, mainly to people down south. It does not look appetising unlike chips and gravy.
 
It is just like a sausage, unspeakable parts of a pig. Still, quite tasty. I don't really know why the skin is red though.
 
I've seen some truly horrific attempts at Chips and Gravy, it's just a pity I've yet to see a Saveloy.
 
I have no idea what's in it, but it's like the bits of animal rejected by sausage makers, pulped & reformed and squeezed into an artificial sausage skin. Slightly spicy, ask no questions and you'll love em.
 
Chips and gravy and mushy peas is lush, we have sausages but normal ones not bright red ones. Just wondering what the history is behind it. You lot like Pie and Mash and Jellied eels.

Please don't say lush. Peas(c wot eye did thar, in case you didn't it was meant to sound like please.) I hate Lush, Mint, Quality and Class, but I suppose that is my problem and not yours.
 
A saveloy is a type of highly seasoned pork sausage, usually bright red in colour, which is served in English fish and chip shops,"[1] sometimes fried in batter. The word comes from the French cervelas, a pork sausage, at one time sometimes made from pigs' brains.
The saveloy's taste is similar to that of a frankfurter or red pudding. It is mostly eaten with chips, but occasionally also in a sandwich accompanied with pease pudding, stuffing,mustard and/or gravy. This is known as a "saveloy dip" in the north east of England, as one half of the bun is dipped in gravy, in a similar manner to the pork dip[clarification needed].
The saveloy is available in Australia, usually battered and sometimes known as a "battered sav".[2] Saveloys are also eaten in New Zealand where they are known colloquially as a "sav" unbattered and a "hotdog" if battered, normally from a fish and chip shop. A "Cheerio" is a smaller version,[3] about half the size, sometimes called a cocktail sausage. The saveloy was originally known as a frankfurter in Australia until World War I, when many German names of food and places were changed to more English sounding ones.

Sauce!
 
What do you call a hotdog? Down here, hotdogs are sold in tins with American flags on, and are called Frankfurters if they come from elsewhere. Saveloy's like a hotdog with balls. Literally.

Yeah, we are all southern fairies that drink warm weak beer, and obviously if you are from the east end you have family ties to the Krays. Obviously.

My family's from the east end, and they had ties with the Krays! Well, my great uncle's shop was extorted by the Krays. Does that count?
