Pie and mash is win on a plate. Don't you guys prefer brown sauce on chips up there?

No, on the sunday fry up maybe , brown sauce and chips never come across it up here.

Heaven, local pie shop does that for £1.55 and the owner of the chain of pie shops died last week from a heart attack. RIP

savaloy aka a Jarrow Dummy around these parts. But a savaloy dip is pretty tasty

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.

surely the one with red skin is palony (sp) ? saveloy is different aint it ? is here anyway. i always thought of em as dark brown

eg.

polony

never though of it as a southern thing either.

edit- well seems my thoughts on saveloy are all wrong. maybe ive been getting it confused with another type of sausage all my life

Clearly one of those obtuse stereotypes, then - brown sauce to ketchup is at least 2:1 ratio of any fry-up, and the greasy spoon guy has the audacity to call me a northener! Bloody turks.

lol, I guess I miss typed that one, wasn't meant to be annoyed about southerners, it was the saveloy I was annoyed at, I've heard all kinds about them but never tried one, and now I find out it is just another variation on the hotdog theme.
Ah well, live and learn i guess.

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?

Yeah, I've lived here all my life, and I live a stone throws from the blind beggar, and every drunkard that enters them doors claims the same thing. I'm more proud of my Irish heritage. And that is saying something, as I *know* I come from a questionable background on that side.

But marrowfat peas are just wrong! Give me Petit Pois any day of the week.

*edit* oops double post soz.

So if I was south of the Watford gap you guys would recommend a Saveloy?

No! I'd first come and save you from Watford. And then and introduce you to my faviroute Pie 'n' mash resteraunt. And I promise you won't even have to look at a jellied eel.

Eerily coincidental... my Irish family owned the pub that Martin (I can never spell the surname... Cuhlahey? Coulahy? Something like that, but the 'h' is pronounced) and his gang used to drink in - that's Martin (surname) as in 'Martin's Fingers', the power station towers that hover over Dublin.

I Know that was my point, sorry if I wasn't clear, cant stand marrowfat peas, they make me gag, and that comes from someone that eats everything (obviouly apart from marrowfat peas)

saveloys taste ok but I dread to think what is in them.

pie and mash is where it's at. double burnt and double would get you excited cheets, trust me

Saveloys are utter filth. I love them.

They look so wrong, yet taste so right. Especially after a few pints.

Offal sausages for real men.

Oh yes indeed.

I've always wanted a battered saveloy, but wherever I've asked they've said they don't do them because they explode in the deep fat fryer.

I grew up thinking only posh people were allowed to eat these, cos it sounded a bit like "The Savoy", the "posh" restaurant off the telly. The joys of a 1970's rural upbringing.

Deluxe1 · 28 Oct 2009 at 09:18

Got me craving a saveloy and pease pudding bun from dicksons now.

buy_my_cookies · 28 Oct 2009 at 09:21
